Extra level of zoom for the .6

On the really big maps on the .6 version, when in a squad and in close proximity the mini map is unreadable.

Could we get an extra level of zoom on the mini map? Or is it hard coded?

N does not zoom in as far as when you use the cap lock map and zoom in which is wht I do when I need to check blue positions more closely.
I think the mini-map zoom is hardcoded because I seem to recall another thread or post on the subject.

You only get three options for zoom when pressing N, if you've played the Beta on the large maps you would see that on the most zoomed in N, you can't tell where people are the maps are just so big. An extra level would really help if possible.

Goddamn, I must make a formal request that you people do not refer to various functions in the game by their default keybinds. Not all of us have the default keys memorized. I have my map bound to x and minimap zoom to c for ease of use!

M (Map): Zoom only on your position.

Caps (Squadmap): Zoom everywhere and identification of names.

Hellloooo that is what your weekends are for! Print out the defualt bindings and memorize them. I find flash cards help. :roll: :wink:

You use the arrow keys for moveming your character? Heh, that's so Rainbow Six, start using the WASD keys!

My brother used to use those keys. It took me months of persuasion (and beatings ;) ) to get him to do it the normal way.

lol seriously... the last time i remember using the arrows was on the orig and rogue spear... :)
lol.. man, that brought back some memories... :)
with the complexity of the modern first person shoort, you need more keys surrounding the movement keys to be efficient and effective (aka, use AWSD)

they work much better. trust me.
when all you had to worry about was open doors, reload, and move, the arrows were fine, but no longer... :)
