I don't know where to begin...

Mini Map works only part of the time.

Had a couple matches where mini map was screwed and target ID did not work. I was walking around and couldn't tell who was friendly and enemy.

Let me speak up for those who suffer from red/green color blindness. New heat vision sucks.
Let me at least load the blue version with reduced distance. For example, just left a match with forest colony. Without the old version I cannot see mechs in the distance because they blend in with the surroundings. I try using heat vision but can't see them either because it is limited to distance. So those who see normally, can see me but I can't see them. I would imagine that in 1000 years we would be able to come up with something better than this. The big disadvantage is that they are sniping me while I am trying for position and don't know where it is coming from.

Night vision isn't helpful to me because of red/green issues especially because it is soooo bright.

Seems to be an issue with loading/matchmaking. It shows someone has logged in but their mech doesn't drop...this is new to this patch.

When I come across more I will post. ROLL BACK time.

*Edit* I know there probably be trolls out telling me to suck it up but I just wanted to give a little more info on the red green color blindness issue.

Approximately 8% of the worlds male population suffer from it. There are several levels of this deficiency that range from mild to severe. It is genetic and is passed usually from grandfather to grandchild (my grandfather was black and white color blind). Those pictures that has all of the dots that have hidden pictures, usually do not reveal anything to someone that is color blind. It depends on the use of color in the dots.

So you can understand my issue. Forest colony is a map that I had to rely on the Blue heat signature to be able to play effectively. Even at close range in the hills and tree area I have an extremely difficult time seeing the enemy without the heat vision. I wasn't sniping and in fact most of my mechs are set up for close combat because of this issue. I used the blue heat vision to determine where I need to go to get into range to battle. As far as using it to snipe, I really didn't see an issue with that. If someone wants to snipe and take themselves out of the battle it is fine with me. I will causally make my way to them and hit them up close.
