What I meant was if the letters representing the compass directions revolved around the circle themselves, it would be more clear, so you're always facing whichever letter is above the circle at any given time.

It is the north indicator, but I haven't used compass for a little time, so I didn't actually know how it works. I thought that it points where you are going at, since if it just starvs into north, what use it would have?

awsome idea.I pick the 1 out of the little map. +-1(infinite)

Quick! Somebody do up a goofy looking compass in slab6!

"Well, I think whole minimap should be removed as I hardly use it (it's too small and useless).

Instead, we should have simple coordinates in corner ("G4").

EDIT: Also, compass would be much more useful. "

Yeah that's pretty much what I think about it too.

Monsteri's got the right idea with that image, but what's that arrow bit sticking out of the circle? That's not the north indicator is it? Just orient the letters so that when you're facing north, N is at the top etc and you're good to go.

My idea about it.

when i played Ace of Spades yesterday (hadnt played in days) i didnt know about the minimap. but i used it instinctively anyways :D so i dont mind.

Coordinates & compass in upper right is my view. Minimap is pretty useless currently.

Well, I think whole minimap should be removed as I hardly use it (it's too small and useless).

Nah

I think there should be some kind of level system where you can upgrade your stats or your guns when you get enough exp. points from killing enemies and capturing the intel.

I would like the changing coordinates like in the picture.

I don't like how the minimap looks. Instead of mini-map there could be a compass, or at least the mini-map should be able to turn off/on. It disturbs me atm.

I've been wishing the minimap had this too. In all honesty I find the existing minimap pretty much useless without it.

How about removing the minimap altogether? Sure, it might seem “convenient”, but there are plenty of other convenient things we could do without. Killcams, annotated frags for all kills, spawn protection, icons over the heads of our teammates...

Be sure to submit this to the (unofficial) official suggestions system.

Good idea, another one I had would be to have the names of team members underneath their corresponding circles in the map/minimap.

Yep... There are all sorts of additional features that would make the map more valuable... size/zoom control, displaying grid position, clicking to add markers or "pings," etc. It has a lot of potential as a communication tool.

Oh yeah, thought of something like that too.

Another thought about the minimap: It only updates after you press [M] twice.
So if you build some yellow shining blocks for example, they won't show up in your minimap until you press [M] to open your map (you see them in here now) and [M] again to close it. The blocks now appear on the minimap.
So, dynamic minimap updates would be nice.

here it is :P
