D-pad up is wat it takes to spot an enemy wright?
its a fast action button
this action doesnt need skills to reveal the enemys exact location!!! (major advantage…)

DOTS ONLY ON THE MINIMAP

if some body likes dots, he can play pacman

yup this is better than how it was in BFBC1 and BF1943 as i think auto spotting was bad, so its basically like BF2 again which is great but that still doesn’t really answer my question

Spotting have changed a lot in BFBC2 so that it requires more of an action from the person spotting you to get spotted. So if an enemy shows up in the 3D world that is because someone have taken his time to spot you actively

Gustav maybe you can give DICE’s view on Giorgos point as i’m interested how DICE thinks it improves gameplay…..maybe i’m missing something?

I hate being able to see spotted players name tags on screen through buildings and smoke as it removes a lot of skill from the game as you just need to track your aim at the coloured tag and shoot even if you cant see the player. It removes the stealth and tactical element as popping smoke just disadvantages you.

Those fun times when your running around a small building after an enemy and he is doing the same to you are gone since you can see exactly where he is through the walls and so you just wait for his name tag to come round the corner and then shoot.

It was much better in BF2 where spotted ememy only showed up on the mini map which gave you a good idea where they were but not so exact that you could put your target on them, also on multi floor buildings not knowing exactly which floor the spotted enemy was on increased the excitement….now we basically have wall hack

To me it removes a lot of good game play elements and doesn’t add anything….except perhaps making the game easier and less skilful for the new player.

BIG MITAKE GET THE SPOTTING ORANGE DOTS OFF SCREEN
and enemy health bars
[quote=xbox.HellBeNt Oskool]The OP is correct, the dots do follow and track people through walls. They do not stop at the edges of buildings and even if they did, it would still kill the gameplay. I can’t think of any other first person shooter that puts dots above people’s heads, yet alone be seen though walls. Overhead red dots are horrible for gameplay.

^We can clearly see it spotting someone’s exact position in the middle of the building. He’s either in the middle or the backside. Either way it’s bad for gameplay.[/quote]
