First of all, this is not meant to be "Name and Shame" thread. Please avoid baseless assumption, or accusation. I've made the effort to disguise any information related to players.

This was a FP game on Saturday afternoon GMT+7, IS vs Clan at Alpine.

I was spectating and noticed that the mini map was in Zoomed state as you can see from the screenshots. Actually this is the second time I observed this situation, the first one was in QP - same map - few months ago (I did not take screenshot).

Looks like the mech has seismic module, so with such zoomed state, the location of the enemies approaching (red dots) looked a bit clearer. However, the player himself did not notice the zoomed mini map. I did not see anything unusual with the playing style.

A friend who was spectating the same mech did not see what I saw - he said it looked normal mini map.

So - I am wondering if there is indeed a (hidden) feature that can zoom the mini map or whether this is just a bug. Any of you ever encounter similar situation?

Its a bug. I see weird map stuff sometimes too...

I want this bug to last forever.

I could have sworn it was a setting...maybe I'm thinking of a different game.

Thanks for sharing Zito. Yeah It's probably a (nice) bug.

Might be a good feature though to have the ability to zoom in - especially in smaller map, or when things are getting really up and close.

Just one of the countless features added to spice up gameplay.

zoomed in minimap would help torso twist in urban areas

So 16,000 matches in and I see this for the 1st time. Thank you for the thread.

I have seen it a couple times and only while in Spectate. Since I could never find a way ,. , .. always assumed someone knew a trick to getting it like that, never accrued it could had been a bug

would love to be able to zoom in or out on the mini map.

mainly use big map to check on turrets, when defending, to see if any lights are sneaking in, or when attacking which ones are still needed to take out (only did that a couple times)
