[MW Waldorf Statler]

Minmaps with clear tactical and contrast topografic informations like other games is Lostech by pGI since the Begin...we can only use colorfull JPGs ...other side , now since years we have a Grid thats now is clear readable with good Contrast , not longer white contrastless Numbers and Letters of a white polar Map

Ah the minimap. I was actually of the opinion that less situational awareness was not necessarily bad, but when they first made that minimap change. Hoo boy. You could tell who used to be playing the game by just staring at it.

[ThreeStooges]

Meh. People play like there isn't one but atleast it isn't as bad as the ui/hud with its unchangeable yellow-green text on yellow bars where you guess you know your weapon's range and ammo count. Color blind any one? Light grey text on a black square is how my color bling brother described it to me since he sees in grey scale.

The new dark brown Canyon Network minimap sucks.

[justcallme A S H]

There is a bug/issue with them as I understand it.

It'll get fixed next month I guess (not entirely sure, but out of the loop atm).

Okay, let's wait and see.

Or hope that they issue a HotFix in the extremely near future.


On the dark side (No pun intended here... Sorry!) of matters, I have to say, encountering all of the following...

• Two movement issues on HPG Manifold Reborn that unnecessarily impede mobility in that area
  
• Bad dark version of the Canyon Network MiniMap
  
• Bad dark version of the Polar Highlands MiniMap
  
• Polar Highlands MiniMap also looks reverted to the previous Map Version's edition

...all leaves a rather sour taste in my mouth, like as if someone is undermining somebody else over there at PGI for some totally unnecessary reason.

And this is all let alone the fact in MWO of our not having Friendly Directional Arrows ever since this Newer MiniMap Display was first introduced some time back. I'm still wondering why they never got around to fixing that, because even MW5:M's Friendly Directional Arrows would be appreciated here in MWO for sure! They both give Weight Class and Direction without conflict and/or annoyance, and I think we can agree that a lack of annoyance in MWO in that manner would be helpful to have.

You only get the arrows now when there is a UAV.

That's on the Enemy Mechs only. You flatly don't get them at all for Friendly Mechs anymore. It really needs to be fixed.

Mini map on another screen with open broadcast studio you don't have to stream it.

Love the setup!

[XDarkPrinceX]

here I've been using my other screen to monitor GPU and CPU temps and usage, that is a brilliant idea using second monitor to capture a portion of the main.

Full battlegrid on 2nd monitor would be super nice.
