This seems like a good opportunity to tell you about some of the scanning related things weGÇÖre currently testing internally.

What are we testing?

• Shared vision for squads disabled.
• Team member chevrons only visible when they are in LOS. Squad chevrons remain 3D (stick to the edge of the screen).
• The active scanner shares all scan results with your squad.
• Pretty little pulsing effect on things that have been scanned so you can understand why you are seeing them and why they disappear.
• HP bars and name tag visible only for what you are aiming/firing at.
• Hit indication if FF is off is disabled.

Why are we testing this?

• We are unhappy with how much noise there is on the HUD. It often gets in the way (tags in particular) rather than helping you understand what is going on. We want to clean it up.
• We feel that scanning in particular is unclear, you often didnGÇÖt really know why you see some things and not others.
• We want active scanning to be a more important tactical mechanic.

How is it going?

Pretty well, quite happy with it so far :-)

Is an incentive of WP really necessary? Isn't it good enough just knowing how many enemies are ahead, what direction they are facing and where they are going so you can get the drop on them not incentive enough?

I would like a new variant of the active scanner called the target designator, it would work at sniper ranges.
