I would like to preface all of this with the fact that a lot of these features may get in the way of normal pub play;however this could easily be fixed by adding the option in the group 8's.

As it is right now the map commander is a very unique and great idea. The problem with it is currently that it is hard to use any calls made. The icons are small and you can't see anything on the map if your not very close to it. Nor are there any notifications that a call has been made.

* For my primary suggestion I want to have the ability to draw on the map(For certain mechs/group to see would be even better). Just like in Mech Commander's intro.
- This would be a 8 Man's only option as It would get in the way for normal pub play. You could have - route mode(Mech follows path) or draw mode.



Go to 2:23 and you can see it. and 2:50 , and several other instances

* Changeable map size , both in literal size(Without blocking view unlike current way) and shown map size.

* Changeable map colors

* Notification for commander input? (Maybe not in current state but in final form)

I can already see the crudely drawn dongs guiding me to the enemy base

But I do agree that it could be improved

Draw on map bad. Improve notification and pretty much everything for ease of use for non-voice over IP team play=yes. Even something as simple as having the team commander chat dialogue show up somewhere else in the HUD besides where genchat is would be a major improvment.

Bump!

#above, not even if you only saw it when you brought up the main map and if you enabled the option for your group of 8? Seems silly to say no to.
