NO MAP CHANGES

::Major_Baker:: · Post by **::Major_Baker::** » 2007-06-13 17:00

Leave the maps the way they are. The maps are a core component in the FPS experience. Without a map, the game will suck. I constantly use my map, in both SL role and SM role.

DO NOT remove the minmaps, DO NOT make them avialable to only a SLs, ETC.

This mod already has enough core rule changes. Too many and the fun will evaporate.

who's with me?

oh the full map (as opposed to the mini-map, just for guys who dont get it)

yeh leave them (only minor tweaks, like the fact that the insurgents can see any UK firebase that is deployed on the full-map on AlBasrah

Remove the minimap, leave the standart map.

bosco and skeltor, what are you against exactly? changing the maps? or not changing them?

gurra norte, this is meant to be an all-encompassing thread on the maps. As in, NO changes to the mapping system, whatsoever. Be it mini-map or tactical map, they both serve their purposes and should not be messed with.

and when your squadmate spots an enemy soldier, are you then going to hide behind a rock, open your standard map to confirm the enemy soldier's location, while he empties a clip into you? Minimap is important too.

In case you haven't noticed, the DEVS, (bless them) do in fact act on desires and ideas that originate from within the community. I was offering my opinion as to a core component of the game that should not be tampered with.

The above to me is unacceptable 1) the minimap must be completely removed and 2) the 'm' map should be reduced to a paper map or at the very most a more realistic interpretation of a modern GPS. Not the all seeing, all dancing, cheating and game-play destroying device it currently is.

This is about ALL MAPS, not just the minimap. I thought it deserved it's own thread for people that are against changes on ANY part of the mapping system, be it the mini map or the tactical map..

The Dev team has stated that there is no plans to change the minimap.

so you mean the commanders all seeing eye and the "m" button map?

?

Why would you want to remove ALL MAPS?

I say use the original maps as a template, then add roads as a real map, not satelite image.

yes, I think that should remain too.
The mapping capability, (including mobile devices) of the military (US anyways) is really quite advanced.
I work in the GIS field so I know this for a fact.

The insurgents should not get the same mapping system, really.

the minmap makes up for the lack of instantaneous communication that a real squad would have in combat. not everyone has voip or speaks a common language.

NO MAP CHANGES

leave the maps alone!
