Yeah, these peripheral indicators have always look like cheating to me. A more subtle kind of aimbot.
The white peripheral indicators

You guys are overacting much?
I don't think they are that bad, in fact they should stay. And if someone don't want them, just make it a server option.

Yes, they defiantly pick up both friendlies and enemies, I have memories of being in rooms, seeing the indicator, and looking over to see a friendly and feeling pretty releaved. . Perhaps they should just be fainter.
My opinion is that it's pretty pointless to make a mutator for an options that's already available in server settings.
In more depth, I think there needs to be something done to account for the fact that we're using a roughly 90-by-60 degree in-game viewing angle to represent the roughly 180-by-120 degree viewing angle that a normal human has. Peripheral markers are a step in the right direction. More tweaking could certainly be done to make them behave more realistically, but I consider having them to be more realistic than not having them.
Plenty of full-on simulators agree.
Agreed, think of the view on your monitor as having a cardboard box over your head with a small rectangle viewslit cut out of it.
Or cutting out the small ends of a shoebox and strapping it to your face. It's basically going around with blinders on.
I understand this concept really well being a photographer - it's all the same principles whether the image is still or moving. When I get home from work I'll post a detailed explanation.
i wouldn't either, IF we had a way to see which servers weren't using them. there's not enough filters in the server browser as far as i'm concerned.
Well, as its been said, its a server option. I'd prefer them on, but its no big deal if they are off.
In any case, I doubt I have been the victim of someone whipping their screen around looking for the white indicators, and then having been shot and killed soley because of that. So many other factors go into the game that even if I had been, its no big deal. If some idiot wants to give himself a headache by trying to exploit the game in that manner, so be it

No, at the moment they are only triggered by enemies. You must have had an enemy pass you without either of you noticing each other.
I do think they should be made to trigger by both friendlies or enemies, because at the moment they are nothing but an advanced enemy-gps. However after such a (minor) change they would be a perfectly reasonable feature in the game.
I hate them. Even if they are "technically" "realisitic", I feel that it's an immersion breaker. I want to spot the enemy with my own eyes. Even if you COULD see the enemy in your peripheral vision doesn't mean you absolutely WOULD. As it stands it seems like the avatar has far superior vision on the peripheries than he does staring straight at something.
The indicators are horribly implemented in the game and whenever I see them especially through smoke I feel like the game wants me to be a cheat.
Then again with the super-human soldier in Realism maybe that is intended and is a further representation of the "Uebersoldat" in "Realism" mode.
He is so fast, aims perfectly, sees through smoke and can bandage away a bullet through the leg only to run off at superspeed seconds later. So maybe they should stay in this mode. It all fits!
Thank TWI for Classic!

Didn't we just have a thread shooting down some of this?
In short, the run speed (On open, level terrain, at least) is realistic, even a bit slow, and the only thing bandaging does is stop bleeding (It is not a heal).
...And the penalties to performance for being wounded (Or the lack thereof) are exactly the same between Classic and Realism: Any shot to the foot, calf, or right thigh will slow your movement for a short period of time. (And yes, right thigh, they left the left thigh and its critical zone out of the if condition statement...)
I play classic and i'm glad they are absent. I don't like the indicators. I understand the reasoning behind them, but it just doesn't feel right in game.
Sorry, but they are a triggered by both friendlies and enemies, I played the game immediately after reading this thread yesterday, and made mental notes each time this happened. I can recall around ten times I saw the marker, then looked over and only saw a friendly. Perhaps it varies from conditions (say, with in a certain range of spawn, or something like that.) but friendlies certainly trigger them.
