How do you guys feel about the detection system in this game? I feel like a lot of players get screwed over when everybody can see them coming at you with the little red arrow over your head or your sniper spot just got bombarded with nades. If the detection was a perk or skill specialty specifically set for a certain type of recon class or dropsuit I could understand, since it would be a specific role players could opt to use to help their team.

Unfortunately that's not the case, Just now I've personally seen a lone scout infiltrate our supply drop and start hacking away, keep in mind he was completely hidden behind the Supply drop. I look over once and see nothing but a little red arrow and proceed to throw a cooked grenade over to him for his troubles. I shouldn't be able to see people hiding behind rocks or obstacles let alone across the map. The minimap is perfectly fine, being seen on the radar when running and shooting is no problem to me.

Snipers have it the worst since they require to sit at a good concealed vantage point and pick off people from afar, but as soon as I see a red triangle up in the sky that's not moving....I'm getting myself a free kill.

Sorry if this has already been brought up, but I'd like to here the rest of the players opinion on this.

People just need to learn how stealth in Dust works.

Please explain, people have said that the red triangles on the screen appear when a teammate has direct line of sight of the enemy a shared network called TACNET(Thank you Maken Tosch). This is a cool feature and fits the atmosphere but is it really suitable for actual gameplay for everyone to know where everyone is at? While with this explanation I conclude that it is indeed still possible to actually not be seen, but that would depend on effective this TACNET thing is and if what it's effective range for picking up enemies is too high.

I really like the idea of putting this type of mechanic into a certain skill/class/dropsuit specifically designed for recon. Then again it is my own idea and I'm being a little biased .

or Maybe just reduce the range of the TACNET line of sight, or the range of which the red dots appear to you.

It's mostly based on line of sight in a shared network called the TACNET. Chances are someone else spotted that lone scout which could explain how you could see him.

The only reason he poped up as red is becuase someone else saw him. At that distance it requires direct sight, with the cross ahirs on him. Once one person sees him he lights up for your whole team.

If he's smart he'll get behind cover and pick a new spot so he can shoot while off the radar. There are skills to make it harder for someone to pin you.
