<div class="IPBDescription">X marks the spot</div>Are there plans to implement the full screen map ala NS1? It should probably be pretty high on the priority list, considering how big the maps are. ATM it is very difficult to use the vent system or in general find one's way around in any sort of coherent manner.

    The minimap made things too easy IMO. You never learned your way around because instead of navigating in first person you were just moving your little icon around on the little blue map, not to mention all the information players could instantly deduce just by looking for enemies or flashing lights on the opposite side of the map. It kills immersion too. I could maybe see bringing back the full screen map with no other information on it at all, but even that is optional IMO.

    I'm sure they will at some point, its presently in flash iirc so when they move it out there will probably be a smaller one for all players.

    I enjoyed the minimap because it's easy to get lost in new maps. :V

    I still wish the players had the upper ns1'ish hud with the res, commanders, and a mini map.

    There definitely needs to be some sort of map.
