Corner CAM or MINIMAP
Zyankalium:
Maybe a minimap as a new Pilot Tool?
Thomas:
I've actually desired a mini-map, but I feel it might make the game too easy. This mostly stems from me wanting to know which way my enemies are facing, and it's always handy to have a reference for the terrain during active combat. While in combat, you often lose direct line of sight to the enemy. They're either in a cloud or blocked by part of the hull. Maybe you're trying to sneak around a cliff towards them. You need to pop open your map to figure out their orientation. "If I suddenly show up around this corner/go through this cloud, am I going to get a face full of hwacha, or do I have some time while they try to turn?"
Or you're in canyons or paritan/labyrinth on a sniping spire and slowly backing up from an enemy, trying to keep them lined up as you and your crew all jump on guns and fire. Until you bump into terrain. Normally you'd know that this existed behind you, but you were being engaged and didn't have time to check the map or even look behind you. A minimap would have saved you the time and reminded you of that low building/hill you could have hydrogened over.
So as useful as it would be, it probably would make the game really really easy. I wouldn't have to pull up the map frequently to remind myself of terrain or verify spotted enemy position and orientation.
Tropo:
thanks for reply guys
@ RearAdmiralZillyes it would subtract from the current game you are rite but im sick of those players thay i have to explain every thing too you know the one that flys to the wrong side of the map or even rite at the mark emeny
at the very least a minimap in spectate
@ dutch im accaully really happy with the compass i use it a bit not as much as map thou and the compass has a couple of issues like when your team mate is be hide you you can't tell how low he is
@redria i agree with rearadmiralzilles (name thats a long name) it could make the game a bit easier i offern use the current mini map to tell over the mic the pertion (metre away) direction there heading
@ thomas good points but im ok with making the game easier as its aready a hard game
so in closing point mini map that only have the map view and the emmny and team mate would just be a circle and not a directionally arrow
this would only be used by new players levels 1 to 10 everyone after that would lose the mini map ?
Spud Nick:
I would like to see a hand held radar device that would replace the combat drums.
Rainer Zu Fall:
I actually have to agree to Thomas and Zill - it wouldn't fit the minimalistic HUD, make the game easier and take away authenticity.

Agreed, the tutorials have to be reworked, but that's a problem of how you are being introduced to the game and not the game itself. If someone can't keep up at university you don't just lower the standards, you have to work on education before university.

Isn't that something achievable? It's not impossible to figure out how to play it, but it's also not too easy. A game should provide a challenge to master, shouldn't it? Some years back, beating a game or being good at it was something to be proud of, because they were difficult but also progress was achievable (in most of them). After you made it past a difficult situation you felt good because of it, you were happy. It isn't solely about being better than someone but to master hard times it gives you. Games today are getting easier and easier - no one feels good and happy after achieving something. Killstreaks are something that happens all the time to everyone, now where is the special reward in that?

Would it show the map from a horizontal point of view or a vertical one? How big should it be in your opinion? Should it show the terrain like the "big" (actual mini) map or not? How do you differentiate the altitude of your teammate from yours on that map if the compass doesn't help you enough?

I'm not a new player - but I'm also not level 10. So the map would still be available for me - but not for players that quickly level one class although still not knowing the actual game (and yes, there are such players out there).
