How do I see bad guys on Battlefield 3 multiplayer map?

Question

I started playing the beta for Battlefield 3 and was expecting the gameplay to be like Call of Duty, but it is markedly different. I felt like I needed to creep around a lot more and it wasn't obvious to me how I got killed when I got killed (no enemy camera replay).

How do you see where the bad guys are at in BF3 on the map? I could see my own players but couldn't figure out how to see when the other team was firing.

Answer

This has changed a bit for final.

However, Ian Torny recently stated, “To clarify – You will appear on the mini-map for a short time [when you fire an unsuppressed weapon], but you will not be flagged/spotted,” referencing Fredrick Thylander’s statement, “It makes you light up on minimap for a split second. Add silencer to avoid it.”

It's unclear at the moment if this is specific to Team Deathmatch mode or a global change for all multiplayer. But basically they are moving a bit more towards the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare behavior in this regard.
