its a normal server, if you dont want to utilise the 3d spotting then play hardcore.

The other option of course is to not get spotted in the first place :p

dev/publisher forums are full of retards though.

Yep, they really are.
They just seem to attract the very vocal minority who will whine about anything they don't like or haven't learnt to counter.

Unfortunately they seem to get heard though

Hardcore take lots of elements that I want in the game out and 1 hit kills is never fun, and it's wookie heaven. I'm happy for 3D spotting to be in as long as it's off as the default server setting.

There is no counter for having a triangle placed on you from across the map for all the enemy to take target practice at, saying you have no problem with 3D spotting says a lot actually.

If you were to check the developers forums all you find is "WAI DNT I GOT MAH ALPHA YET?! I PLAYED EVRY GAEM EVR!" etc, I still don't see the glaring problem with the spotting mechanism, it isn't gamebreakingly overpowered as you seem to think it is.
 
DICE really don't have a clue when it comes to certain aspects of the game.

Like on the BC2 demo you could spot-spam continuously with no cool down, literally lighting up swathes of enemies across the map. At what point in the game design could they not see that would be an issue.
 
Just a quick question, apologies if it has been answered already, don't have time to sift through 245 pages :P

I am considering investing in a good sound card, however have heard that all of BF3's audio processing will be done on the CPU, essentially rendering a sound card upgrade pointless?

Run like Midnight and get to cover. Difficult?

It's fairly easy to tell when you've been spotted, but thankfully most people have crap aim so it's perfectly possible to get away.

So what does it say then Raven?

Look at this vid, you see no problem with that, really? it's the same system in the BF3 alpha.

Have you played the alpha?

Everyone is saying that it's NOT the same system, they've adjusted it

Also your vid link fails because it's from a console, which has auto aim, you can clearly see he's aiming nowhere near the target he kills. On noes another built in hack!!?!?

chances are it will be on by default, but so long as server owners have the option to turn it off im sure there will be plenty of servers to cater for your tastes :)
 
Just go check the vids out and the forums, it's the same it follows you everywhere but now we get the bonus of the squad leader having his own little star as well as the triangle when spotted.

It's PC actually, here's another for good measure.

Indeed, as long as it does not mess with the server status as it does with BC2.
