Why not a Fog of War minimap? I mean, no rotation at all, to make piloting harder, and obscure everyting than it´s not in front of your central torso, no matter if there are friendly units or not, no shared info between units... This was a house rule back in the days of Battletech, was called Blind Fight.
At this point, why not remove minimap at all? Let´s play MWO´s Quakelive!
As I said in other thread, facepalm, indeed. Do this studio have betatesters at all?

I cannot wait to hear PGI's attempted rebuttal to the threads.

... what?.. I... this... What?! OK, I mean, why... WHAT?!?!

OK, I won't use the nickname I gave Russ two years back when he spouted out this kind of stuff. He gets a new name: Russ Bollocks!

I wanted to buy the Archer with Hero Upgrade after this patch (the first time I would've spent money on this game in two years). Guess what? I just saved 35$. Thanks PGI!

Yeah... what Russ thinks vs thousands of players. Kind of like the CW/FW fiasco. Russ thinks it is the future of MWO while most want nothing to do with it.

Zoom level? ZOOM LEVEL???
Are these people kidding? Or having a bad trip?
Definitively, I need to buy a new machine... To play DOOM and throw MWO to the garbage can.

That only works for *TARGETED* enemies. I thought that was one of the main incentives for targeting enemies???

[Wesxander]

It's beyond me why PGI insists on breaking something that works fine. The old hud with arrow direction indicator is more realistic for those of use been in combat centers in the REAL military. Instead of fixing things that weren't broke how about you work on issues that are bugged to hell instead of breaking things that worked fine. Not sure who to blame for it, but breaking something people were happy with is not a way to keep them playing.

You are complaining, so, PGI's response will be...You are amongst a small minority living on an island...

I agree with one of the previous posts - the new map is so useless that removing it entirely would be an improvement. Please give us back the old mini-map ASAP.

[Aries Ghost]

First time post..., thats how majorly Clustered the new mini map feature is, it made actually made me dizzy to pilot and will most likely wait until its fixed to play.

[Shamanik]

Ugly and backwards as hell. I'm glad other people hate it too. Just wow that is ungodly ugly. Get it off my screen!

[QuePan]

the main issue i see with the map is that its very hard to tell where your team is in relation to your self , the other issue is that seismic is practically broken you cant tell in the reading is to your right left ahead Etc which kinda defeats the purpose of its use , great i know there is seismic is a grid but where in that grid ?? its not a minmap or radar its a Mini Satellite link or miniature battle grid , i under stand that you wanted to lower the information but you should have info on the TEAM on the map .the minimap doesn't provide this info real well .

[MadGav]

Get rid of the new mini-map.

[Dirkdaring]

It's absolutely worthless. I can't believe this made it live.

Zoom level is not going to fix this garbage. REVERT IT.

GROTESQUE! You turned a useful feature which deserved only some minor esthetic adjustmets into a 100% useless, disorientating, stupid,-wrong-sized version of the big map. What has gone through your minds, dear designers??? And most important: when does the new patch / hotfix come?

[JonDunbar]

So my targeting computer can tell me not only which torso is left vs right, but it also knows the level of damage those torsos have sustained, the targets distance, that the target has incoming misses. Yet it cannot tell me if that mech is facing me? Isn't this supposed to be the 31st century? Why are they trying to dumb down the information warfare element of the game?
