Battlefield 3's Mini-Map "Greatly Enhanced" Rate Article 14 October 2011 - 07:28 AM Posted By neged 7 CommentsPlaying through the Battlefield 3 open beta on a new map, you probably felt lost when looking at the map. The map that came with both Operation Metro and Caspian Border was limited in what it did and was difficult to understand. Past Battlefield's have seen maps that were easy to understand and highlighted map features (roads, rivers, buildings, etc.). Demize99 (Battlefield 3's Core Gameplay designer) was asked on twitter about the map and if it had received improvements. No specifics were made, but the mini-map's "clarity has been greatly enhanced."




Well anything will be better then what was there. Hope they didn't move it to the right .

heh, that does not say much. It will probably still be that stupid futuristic looking wireframe type of thing. Wish it was just like BF2, which was super easy to understand and coordinate with teammates and other squads.

I got used to not having a mini map in BC2 HC mode so I tend not to look at it.

[The_Needle]

True, once I learn the map I only glance at it occasionally.

[Schultzy]

hahahah! I am just hoping to have a minimap at all! Even if it was just a black box with little dots on it representing my teammates!

You should look at your minimaps more often. You have no idea how many people just mind their own business even though the guy that killed me is spotted and 3 feet away going for a knife. It can save you.

Exactly. I used it a ton in BF2. Especially when a UAV was up.

IF you heard me on BF3..... kept on saying wish i had that UAV.

Is there going to be a non-HC Cani's server? I learned in BC2 that HC servers tended to cultivate a much more deathmatch sort of mentality. I hate deathmatch games.

[S-Man]

Deathmatch? How so? I liked HC servers because of the lack of a killcam, no crosshairs, and more realistic damage- i.e. 1-3 bullets to put down an enemy.
Deathmatch to me seems like a more frenzied free-for-all fragfest instead of calculated strategies found in HC Conquest. Just IMO.

edit: But I think Cain mentioned having one vanilla and one HC BF3 server. So one of each.

edit 2: And for the record, I don't like the spotting system and radar. It's unrealistic to me and I get found much more easily.

Yes, Cain is planning on a Vanilla server. I and many other regulars--those who played BF2--are likely to spend much of our time there.

I am pretty sure Cain will be running vanilla BF3, with no kill cam if possible.
