3D spotting has been a problem in recent Battlefield games, and recently DICE has reassured that they are tweaking the feature in Battlefield 3. Â The problem with 3D spotting as it stands is that it can be used by players to rack up free kills without ever actually seeing a player, and just firing towards the marker. Â As you can see from the video below, it definitely has its faults.
Though rest assured DICE issued comment on 3D spotting on the Battlefield 3 Reddit page, Â where the developer noted that changes are underway:
“3D spotting is still there. It’s been tweaked though – the 3d marker only shows up if you can actually see the person. (But the minimap marker will show either way.) So no more sitting in a bush and blindly shooting at the glowing tortilla chips for free kills.”
