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

Oh lord, I thought I was alone. This is unbearable. I used the minimap to kind of orient myself through my surroundings... and now I'm just confused and motion sick.

Who asked for a minimap change anyways????

[glennshin]

new mini map is crap, i love this game but this will put me and many others off, possibly leave

[McHoshi]

#pgimwonewminimapsux bring back the old style minimap because the new one broke the immersion -.- not realy funny this is!

[KHETTI]

WoWs has a rather splendid Minimap, it also zooms in and out, think i will use theirs til PGI sobers up.

You have to use the German U... this way you can say the F Word without saying it. Here is should read and sound like

Situational awareness: 0
Where the fück am I heading?: > 9000
Where the fück 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

Please make the minimap able to be toggled to old minimap style.

I agree, I dont understand why PGI just had to **** WITH the minimap. It was JUST FINE in the first place. They totally WASTED TIME AND MONEY working on the minimap when there are FAR WORSE things they need to fix or "upgrade" within MWO!!!

2 Steps Back again!

Dont mention state-of-the-art stuff in MWO.
Uhm.. wait... NOW I UNDERSTAND.. they wanted to drag the quality of the minimap down to the level where the chat system is. OBVIOUSLY !! Everything needs to fit together.

Absolutely agree. New minimap = MWO break. Now it is impossible to play normal. PGI what are you doing? I'm sure the new minimap was created by those who never played MWO. If they dont return old mini map I will urgently look for another game

So riot my friends, riot for the good of us all.

Anarchy in the MWO? Close...

[Roadkill]

Meh. I'm probably showing my age, but I doubt the lack of orientation will bother me. I had to get used to my GPS/Nav in my car because it did that "up is forward" orientation thing, and I was expecting a map. I'm used to it now so MWO's old radar was fine, but I'm sure that the map-ness of the orientation won't be a problem.

The lack of zoom, though... I'm pretty sure that's gonna be a problem. I use the minimap a lot and need to be able to see what's going on in my vicinity.

The coordinate labeling is also going to be a problem.

*sigh* Maybe I'll just play Armored Warfare for a while.

[Brizna]

The map not rotating, I supose I could get used to it over time... but the scale of it is plain silly.

I completely endorse OP's post, little Brizna is a NOOB who has no clue of where is the enemy, hell little Brizna has problems knowing where he is in maps he's played hundreds of times.

Just finishing the event then I'm out of here, there's other games out there. I'll be back when I get my old minimap back.

[Tekar]

I was thinking of putting down 6000000 c-bills for a brand new seismic sensor a few days ago. Glad I held off:

Wouldn't have changing enemy Doritos into just dots, accomplished Russ's goal?

[Breaker76]

give me back the old minimap which was functional.
the new one is only good if u want to get a headache or vertigo.

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.

Ahhh, I see. The problem with TTK was obviously the fact that players knew where they were on the battlefield.
As you can tell, I am unworthy of PGI's genius.

[Albino Boo]

Yup another +1 on the mini map. If its not broke dont fix it, you just wasted you time and money

[B L O O D W I T C H]

Loving the new minimap!

Don't get me wrong here, it's complete **** and utterly useless now.

But thanks to that, matches are a lot more chaotic and a lot more fun to play.

Got no idea where i am most of the time, no idea wherre my legs are pointing for some reason but dayum matches are fun as hell.

Yes exactly the environment you want for organized/competitive esports teams
Have no idea what is going on and games end up in mechs running around like headless chickens.
