today in the dev stream oki showed off a new ping system where enemies would show on the map for 12 seconds when pinged. I think 12 is way too much and pinging on the map should be limited to the recon class because that is what they are meant to do.
you could also have the recon drone able to ping players but for longer so its actually useful for spotting.

I feel like the ping duration should be shorter, when you go in a building or behind a wall

I’m 100% sure oki will turn it down
probably but i still think map pinging should be limited to recon
give recon another use besides having snipers
cause thats all it is right now

It’s all circumstantial because we are in a mix between cats and hardcore.
This is a very casual mode feature that’s being added, whereas what you’re suggesting would probably be more associated with hardcore

you could also just have every class able to do it but recon can do it longer
recon needs something else besides having snipers tho

I immediately thought this as well, not a bad idea

in the same vein but not the exact same is maybe pings from drones should last longer and/or give more points rather than recon class as a whole
drones deserve more than being flying mines

yeah thats what i was thinkinh

If they are only visible in the map, 12 doesn’t sound too crazy to me straight away. You’d have to ping, comm with your team and hope they are listening, have them open the map and find the enemy, then start moving. With game speed, that doesn’t seem too crazy to me

System as follows?
Recon can ping people like how we spot vehicles. Recon spotting lasts 10 seconds, but when LOS is broken with recon, duration of ping is halved.
So getting to cover can counter the spot and such.

i think only recon drones should be able to highlight enemies for that long

I don't mind recon spotting people for a long period and 3D tracking (maybe disappearing 2 seconds after LOS broken), it would add some utility AND teamwork to the class.
I think spotting from other classes should definitely be shorter, maybe around 5-6 seconds and disappearing as soon as LoS is broken.
This might make having a dedicated squad sniper covering a squad far more advantageous instead of them camping far off for easy kills

I'd love for recon to emphasize the designated marksman role of like, safely popping machinegunners and suppressing snipers or something with DMRs tbh
and yeah spotting should mainly be the wheelhouse of recon
10 second recon spot, with a 3x decay rate behind cover, so at most you stay spotted for 3 sec after breaking LOS?

Pls make recon drone useful
