Topographical maps

ok so i do remember this being mentioned before BUT from searching and checking the AAS there doesnt seem to have ever been a formal suggestion about it.

so as the title suggests, change the player's "M" map instead of the current minimap, to become a topographical map. it would be more realistic and would help with players trying to identify mountains from valleys on some maps. it will also lower someones ability to be able to plan out an assault alley by alley from being able to see EVERYTHING. realisticaly entering particularly urban zones heading into even a mapped alleyway may result in you being stuck due to fences, barricades or a large truck which would not be marked on a map.

IMO i think the less detail is on the map the better, the topographical map would be the next step away from vanilla which would greatly affect the game play of PR

	Anything can be a weapon, anyone can be a threat. Never under estimate the combat ability of your opposition. He may seem weak and harmless now but even a dead man can carry a few pounds of explosives in his gut or deliver a decisive blow by rotting away in your water supply.
