Would be very helpful.

Also, is there a sky texture? It should have a sun and clouds and what not. (Unless it's raining)

Why would you need a compass if it shows the direction you're facing on the map?

So that I don't have to open the map.

2nd'd

An alternate solution could be to enlarge the player indicator on the map and make the whole map screen semi transparent.

3rd'd

Or a mini-map.

In response to Beret, I remember Bcoolface saying something about giving the mini-map transparency killing AoS' performance/framerate.

I hope a compass is added, it'd be pretty awesome.

Isn't the ironsight an image that already has a transparent layer? I dunno- the map does have to constantly update, so you may have a point.
