Yes that is bad 3D spotting I know. I have covered this with you before, you are better than that.
What I am saying is a better more appropriate 3D spotting alternative that I would think would do well for the game.
Lets say for example it's limited to squads.
Squad leader has eyes on a tank. Tells his squad he wants it gone. So he spots it. Tank gets out of the squad leaders line of sight and the marker goes away.
Now you might say that is pointless. Why have the spotting system if it goes away the second the person who spotted it loses sight of it?
Simple, to allow players who don't want to talk, who don't have mics, who are deaf, who have lung cancer, who are socially awkward, what ever the case may be. It will allow them to communicate to their squad enemy locations, but it will
not make everyone a homing missile running towards a orange dot on screen.
It gives PS2 a larger community, a stronger and more intelligent community at that. Would you rather have all the above people giving no tactical help or at the very least some? I take the latter.
