oh yeah, uncovering the map (like a fog of war kind of thing?) would definitely be more difficult to do

DICY not compass good idea the discovering map

yeah but sometimes it would be really nice to be able to tell what direction you're looking without bringing up the map and finding yourself on it. I know it's only a matter of a couple seconds at most, but sometimes those seconds can be really crucial. having a compass display on the hud wouldn't be difficult to do and would make things quite a bit more convenient.

that would be pain though

Write ideas in my post guys, more people will look. And if you don't know, north is the top of the map an vise versa.

Speaking of compasses, that's one device they could place in the game. Also, maybe even the map has to be manually discovered. Would make things interesting, in terms of intelligence, as to where the intel is, the camp, etc.

first would be to have a score limit or some other kind of end to the game, after which the map would reset (or generate a new one). it can get tough sometimes to find a decent server that doesn't have a week's worth of people's random crap they've been building all over it.

second would be a compass. nothing too crazy, just have it display in a corner that's not being used, either in degrees or just "round it" to the 8 points on the compass rose. I find that a lot of times when I spawn I have to bring up the map and search around for a few seconds to find my bearing when all I really needed to know was which way is east or west. it'd also help for calling out enemies and key locations to your teammates.

I know there are a few more but I need to figure them out while I'm playing. will update the OP (if that's possible) as I figure them out.

love the game so far, it's definitely a concept with tons of potential.
