(MOVED TO CURRENT DISCUSSION ON THIS TOPIC)
Sorry if this is like a mega repeating request post.
Please reconsider removing player blips from the minimap because:
A) It would fit nicely with the removal of rally points you all are trying out.
B) It would require players to do some very basic map reading since the map would still come up with marks from the game such as mines and commander notes.
C) It would prevent players from using the blips for a tactical advantage such as:
i) hearing a shot from a gun closeby from a certain direction then looking at the map to see if a friendly is in that area.
ii) Using the minimap to confirm no blips in a certain area when deciding to move out or fire on first sight knowing no friendlies are in the area.
iii) It would prevent players from saying something like enemies on my position on the map or North of my map position
D) It would make VOIP more important overall.
Please reconsider the immersion benefits this would provide.
Thanks for a great mod.
