I play without my minimap.
I have all my HUD settings turned to 100% transparency.
I have my autoreload off and I never play with my 3D Flags as well.

It is a great, clean way to play the game. BUT

there are a few things that tick me off.

By having the HUD turned off, I can't use the M map, so I have to stop moving and use the caps lock. Not a big deal tho. The main issue is...
I CANT SEE FLAG NAMES.
When you turn the icons on your minimap off, the flag names on ALL your maps (caps lock, enter, m map) all disappear.
The ICONS in your capslock map are still there.
but the flag names are gone.

So whenever I'm playing squadleader, or squaddie alike, and they say (we gotta move to perimeter base),

I check my map only to find that its blank.

another thing is that Even though I have the minimap turned off, the Ticket counter in the upper right is still there, and its this big blob of color that I really don't want to see. there is no way to get rid of it.

I've done as much as I can to make my game as real as possible, and in all seriousness, when it comes to just plain old playing and teamwork and everything else in PR that is good, I can do it perfectly.

However, its these little things.

If I could play with renderer.drawHud 0, I would. But I can't, because it doesn't allow you to use the comrose, or even hit capslock or enter to select a kit/spawn point/squad.

Is there any mercy in this world?

I think parts of BF2 are meant for a HUD... in PR at least your map/como rose hah.

You could always go find some good people and play arma on veteran mode on some AI missions

What gets me is not being able to see who is in certain positions in your vehicle. This was the worst when I was admining the DevFile Al Bas server, since there were many missed smacktard banning opportunities.

You can make the names of whos in a vehicle re-pop up

If your in drivers seat, press F1 ( or whatever F-button corresponds with your seat ) and the list of people will show up in the vehicle, only problem is vehicles with more than 6 seats ( blackhawk? )

But not when you have your transparency at 100%

Chill out dude.
It is only a game.
If you want to have full realism then join the army.

Obviously. We all know that being in the army is just like playing a video game without HUD. I heard complaints about the long respawn times though.

You mean "find the minimaps in the map files and print them" can't Google PRM maps ...
