The mini map is an atrocity. The fact that its orientation isn't relative to the mech makes it horribly confusing in battle. Such a damn fail... do they even test this crap? Did Russ actually bother trying to play a game with that nonsense?

[Jeronimo25]

I agree, the new minimap is crap.

[TercieI]

Yeah, this is horrible and a truly fundamental change. I haven't the first clue what's even happening.

[HELLBRINGER666]

TERRIBLE!

[meteorol]

It's so bad it would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad. Nothing short of pitiful.

I cant believe the new map, it sucks so hard. with all the other issues this game has, the old mini map was not one of them. Wish PGI would focus on what needs to be fixed first, and not screw up something like mini map. I cant even tell what my position is or anyone elses. put back the old map.

Whoever get this minimap idea, pls fire yourself out! ************

You think your minimap is small...? Try it in a Locust.

I have a small screen. When I'm in an assaults I can't see where my team is, without spinning in place, which leaves my back open for distant shots; I can't really see where the enemy is, either; seismic sensor is useless (nerfed after all, I guess). I simply won't be playing until the zoom feature is added. Thanks, Russ.

For me:

- needs to be centred on my mech (radar)

- zoomable

- rotates to align with my heading

- if enemy heading is part of info-tech, then at least friendly headings should be displayed so I can tell at a glance where my team is facing

I hope it won't take them longer than one week. Seriously, I've always been ready to adapt, I never really minded any changes being ready to roll with them, but this is the straw that breaks the camel's back. Either way, I'm not playing until this mess is fixed.

ok, will this be *the* minimap thread?

feedback:
it is crap. no other words for it you can't see anything. Had a match on forest, you can't even find the damn circle. And your arrow shows your leg direction, not torso so good luck trying to figure out from which direction the mechs come.

And the mech symbols are so tiny you can't make out the class at all...

[Apathy Enrage]

I don't mind the diamonds, I don't mind the visual style, but it absolutely NEEDS to rotate with my direction, and having the FOV indicator on there was infinitely useful. I feel like I need that god awful directional arrow thing now...

Frig, even if it doesn't get zoomed in, at least make it rotate with my direction, I don't have time to look at my arrow, flip directions in my head and figure out what side of me the enemy is on... Can't get any information at a glance...

does make me miss by 47" big screen.

[BeauChaotica]

I didn't realise quite how much I relied on the minimap in the very middle of a fight, until I was forced to face it today.

I feel physically disorientated from one match. Fix this, dear God.

Russ says he knows what is best and that you live on an island.

Well...if anything else, with that attitude he could quickly be hired at Blizzard or EA.

[Burke IV]

WTF is this? my brain is so wired into that map and where my feet are pointing i actually get some sort of travel sickness feeling from what you did PGI

[NUSQUAM]

It is way too small without a zoom. It turns into a blob of diamonds in any fight. The bigger the map the worse it is and the less detail there is. I searched through options and controls to no avail. It's pointless to use seismic too.

[JaxParks]

The new mini map is horrible!!!

[S 0 L E N Y A]

PGI, you POOPED the bed on this one.
Dont add a toggle. Get rid of this crap NOW.

[L1f3H4ck]

Yes, give us a choice to use the old map please. I can't deal with the new one, it's so bad, it might as well not be there. I feel like I'm flying blind. Was looking forward to trying out my new P-Hawks, see the rescaled mechs and map changes, but this hurts. Seriously, it feels like sensory deprivation now because information that was there before and was vital to playing the game just isn't there any more. Taking a break from MWO.
