Bring back the mini map. I have been reading up on the "Land Warrior" system which is starting to be deployed by the US Army.
On targeted raids and complex "kinetic" operations, the Land Warrior's capabilities blossom -- with detailed photo-realistic maps displayed on a small screen attached to each helmet, real-time locations of target houses, and friendly personnel at a Soldier's fingertips and short text communications with battle managers in the rear.
Sounds exactly like the mini map to me. The mini was removed due to lack of reality, well here you are, its totally realistic and frankly esential to game play. Since it went away I've been having a hell of a time holding infantry units together, you get scattered and loose track of your teammates. The system is fully intergrated with armor and aviation units.
