User blog comment:Son of a Magnet/Against the Lack of Spotting in Hardcore/@comment-1956813-20100819032121

Your right about spotting and its ability to point out enemies, but it is still not enough the accuary communicate with the other people on the team. I wish there was a way to talk to nonsquad mates. Like when there is a enemy mine field and you are in a hummer. You jump out but you cant save the other people by warning them if there not in your squad. I hope in BF3 there is more chat channels: Squad, Vehicle, Entire Team and Whole game. Squad is the kind you encounter in BC2. In vehicle you communicate to players in the vehicle your in. Entire team is obiously the whole team on your side, US or Russian. Finally Whole game is speaking to both teams.
