If you see a enemy and you spot it you see
the exact movement on your minimap of that soldier
as a red dot.. my idea was too make that a more
bigger dot (circle) and call it ''enemy activity'' so
your team knows there is enemy activity there. and you
don't have too spot every single soldier who is walking there
wouldn't it be cool if we can also spot reallypoints, support trucks, bunkers..

tell me what you think about this idea...

well rally points are universally spotted as boats and this goes for all spawn points , thought it would be good to have a RP spotted marker , this has been discussed before thought i cant remember the outcome , do i quick search and try find out. and sorry but i dont feel the need for a bigger dot because people will still look in that direction if there's 1 or 6 people there , unless i missed understood the point ?

Personally I want to see that idea and all spotting to be displayed on the 3d map by some unobtrusive icon and the minimap completely removed from the top corner of the screen.
Operation Flashpoint does it with an icon that almost looks like a closed bracket which works exremely effectively.
As long as the spotting is done manually (removing auto spotting from the game) and no longer tracks the enemy I'd be ecstatic
If the devs can do that ...

if the one guy who has been spotted got killed. then nobody looks that way anymore... so if there is a enemy activity spot people stay looking at it till its clear..

but if some 1 is killed that dot goes into a question mark which means "enemy activity"

That should be the time when the fallen soldier uses his wits and reports the map's coordinate and section.

this would be very bad for those of us who don't use the 3d map.

ye thats for sure
