What kills me that they released this crap early because it's tied to command wheel. Yes, the command wheel, which has led me to block more people in the last hour than I have in 14k previous matches. Thx for letting people spam voice commands on top of ruining the map and seismic sensors.

Now after 2 matches, I can't even play this game until this has been fixed. Was looking forward to trying out my new Phoenix Hawks, but too frustrated to enjoy them.

Will be watching the boards, hoping they will revert back to the old map. Until then, I am done.

Agreed. This minimap is harder to read, makes Seismic useless, gives less pertinent data. Needs to be centered on my mech at all time, oriented so that north is the way I'm facing.

[Hanky Spam]

The old minimap was fine as it was, so why changing it????

Why, PGI?

WHY????

[Thorn Hallis]

Hmm...sometimes I think that Community Warfare was ment to be between the Community and PGI - and the latter just fired another salvo.

[RussianWolf]

at this rate I may not even get to see this thing in action before they hotfix it back.

Someone please record and upload a match.

[Jackal Noble]

Whine. Harder.

[Cherry Garden full of Blue Roses]

Oh, thank you PGI for your hard work! Now, give back old mni map, please. You know how to make people ill, maybe you give us some medicine this time for your sick idea - old mini map highly recomended.

O sweet Jesus. Yes patch this now!! Bring back the old map so we can see what direction we are going, and zoom it back in.

Ok, so I go to my first game and see a lot of messages complaining about the new minimap.
I enter the game and start looking at it, seems fine, a bit small but okish.
Then I start moving, and ... WTF PGI!!!

1- This minimap MUST be removed from game in a hotfix, today or tomorrow, the game is unplayable.
2- The person(s) who created this aberration and the one(s) who approved need to go in holidays for a couple of weeks.

New minimap is bad.

[Endlessz]

After running into a ton of walls finally figured how to use the minimap, just apply tape to the area, where the minimap is on your screen and it works fine

I've said it in every other one of these threads and I'll say it here. The map needs to rotate, not the mech arrow. I'm not against change in size or cosmetics or whatever, but this is a 180 from how radar works in virtually every other game of this genre, be it third or first person.

[MadC4t]

The new map is so f*cking bad...
The inventor should be fired.

How could you come to this awfull idea?
Did you even test your stuff?!

[shopsmart]

I get way to confused with this new mini map. Its not enemies or the diamonds. Its is the lack or rotation and feedback. No torso twist feedback to carrot. I find myself not oriented where I need to be. Sometimes completely not near my team mates. Starting to see a lack of fun. No one I noticed in the last 5 games called out which map sector spotted enemy in. Needs to be an option to switch to the close up map and large map by the very least. Diamonds for enemies. Awesome idea. But reducing TTK indirectly by injecting mass confusion is not the way to do it.

I am not a too heavy critic of PGI, but the last time I really HATED something it was the laser lock range. It was livable, but wrong solution to the problem at hand. Thank you for listening to us on the lasers. This will be my 2nd HATED item PGI has done so far. Money spending on pause now.

Don't like new minimap. Need my cone of vision and leg pointing arrow. Otherwise I keep getting disoriented trying to steer to enemies and friends. And the arrow in cockpit option is for newbies, not veterans. Also you can tell what the terrain around you is. I do like idea of seeing my whole team, but horrible implementation.

This!

Just tried a couple of games with the new mini map.
I'm essentially helpless without the vision cone / leg facing bit of the mini map. Apparently I cant pilot a mech without it.
Keep crashing into stuff, or setting off in completely the wrong direction.
Got me killed in every game. Feel like a noob again.

Don't like the new map at all!

New minimap =

Situational awareness: 0
Where the frack am I heading?: > 9000
Where the frack is my team in relation to my enemy?: >9000
Where am I anyway on the map AKA "I thought I knew the map"?: lolwut?

GG PGI

Taking a break till you fixed that.

I guess this is the worst change PGI has ever made (untested) to the game

Going to add my vote in for putting the minimap back, at least until you can zoom and select rotate map or mech.

Probably me too. No reason to try to adapt to that thing. Who the hell thought replacing working features with forced, unfinished and much less intuitive ones is a good idea? So hard to wait a month and release it once it at least has all the most basic features?

On a bright side, this new minimap is such a big fail we're gonna get it fixed rather soon. So riot my friends, riot for the good of us all.
