"Minimap" idea

[[R-DEV]OkitaMakoto]

I have to agree with mary on this. Sure in real life you have a bit better spatial awareness, but in the end, turning your head a few degrees in game is so simple to do. Not to mention, its incredibly easy to keep moving one way while looking behind you by simply going from the forward key, turning, hold the sideways key, then facing behind you and holding the backwards key... Running backwards at the PR speed with gear is probably hard to do...

Personally, I think its fine as it is. While moving to locations its more than easy enough to glance backwards at your buddies. I think its more than good enough as it is and dont want any sort of extra stuff on the HUD just to add maybe a tiny bit of situational awareness... personally I dont ever find myself having any trouble...

If you're buddies are near you, youll see them with a quick flick of the mouse... if theyre a bit further/out of sight... well, you shouldnt be able to see them then...

Communication, trust, and responsibility

I think a 10m radius would be enough.. 20 diameter.. yeah...

No vehicles... only squad members....

=) 5 person limit is a fair price to pay to know where they are at all times

The minimap was removed. It is not coming back. Furthermore, Minimap suggestions are on the AASS list and I found these two lovely topics that should suit your needs nicely should you wish to continue the discussion. Locked for Resuggestion.
