After playing two matches with the new mini-map, I can only assume that PGI intentionally made it as terrible as possible to draw attention away from the new mech scaling and any complaints that would otherwise arise from that part of the patch.

Or perhaps I am having a nightmare. Pinch me. I think I'm done with this game till next Tuesday.

Is this their way of trying to pull in the WoT audience?

In WoT does their map rotate? This is mech game not a tank game.

Only thing the mini map needs is zoom and rotational settings. Otherwise I like the look of it.

"Hey guys I got seismic activity over here!"
- Where is that?!?
"HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSE TO KNOW?!?"
- ... yea... good point!

Or:
"Tangos in sight!"
- Where is that?!?
(long pause)
(the one that called the targets get killed).

Great stuff.
Can we HAVE THE FRIGGIN OPTION TO SWITCH BETWEEN THIS ABONIMATION AND THE COMPLETELY FUNCTIONAL OLD MAP RIGHT NOW?
PRETTY PLEASE?!?

The mimimap is totally ******. It no longer turns with you so it's completely disorienting -and the symbols are so ******* small you can't tell the difference between an Assault and a Light unless you full screen the minimap and only an idiot would do that in the middle of a fight.

Well, maybe the inventor of new mini map shouldn't be fired... Oh, wait, one match more... Yes, he should be fired. People who invite such a things can't be mentally healthy. To destroy old good mini map, clear, easy to read, fulfilling perfectly the job it was created, and putting such a... mistake... I think the real rebel is between PGI employees.

Why did PGI spend resources fixing something that wasn't broken?


The thing is actually they are making this to reduce TTK, Russ said it in the last podcast. Great way to do it i mean i will laugh ironically to this for a long time.

It's got me thinking that I will take a break from the game til they fix it.

At the very least it needs to rotate with your direction, AND show your legs vs your torso, like it used to.

I'm debating whether or not I should start a thread too just to contribute to the effort to fill the front page and hope PGI does an emergency hotfix.

Adds basic trope found in nearly every mil-sim style fps game, heads headlong in the opposite direction of COD style minimap.

Gets raged on by same community who cried for years that this game is not simulation enough and to much COD.

In this instance i do feel for you PGI.

You MUST add the old minimap back. This lowest common denominator community demands it.
All i hope is an option for the new patched minimap remains for those of us who dont need doritos flavored curtches.
