BF2S Forums Scan limitations

I think the scan pick up body heat or heat from tanks and jeeps so it makes sense but only the commander sees them unless he spots them and i dont think to many people pay attention to them all that much

P.S. I think its fine the way it is

I've always wondered how the UAV works on Iron Gator, though.

I agree uav is usless on iron gator let alone the scan thats why noone plays commander on it...that and no arty...but what would you do with it if you had it?

I think Scan shouldn't be able to pickup soldiers that are underground. Like in Kubra Dam when you're under the base capping the flag in that tunnel, the scan shouldn't be able to get you. But something more "powerful" like the UAV could detect you. It makes the fight too easy knowing where every single one of your enemy is.

I totally know what you mean, but still i disagree. Just leave it like it is.


The one thing they realy have to change is a bug in de scan option.
Ill try to keep my explanation short.
-be a commander and push the SCAN button.
-exit the commander screen, 'short CAPS-LOCK'.
-go into the commander screen again

from this point you get a bug depending on where the scan was.
if you scan was at the middle of the screen, -IT WAS ABORTED!
or when your scan didnt even start, your scan was aborted at the start.
both ways it doensnt display, the so called *bleeps*, the red dots.
-and your SCAN is reloading but you got 0% efficiency out of your scan-

So they have to find a way to make the scan option to run in the background!
