I really hope I’m not the only one who does not want a Minimap in this battlefield game. Since there were no wireless/ cellular communications in WW1, there would be no targeting available like previous modern battlefield games had. Plus the whole concept of mini maps take a lot of excitement/strategy/ambushing out of the game.
Instead of running with your squad and then saying, “Holy a tank is right there!” Like how it would be with no Minimap, previous battlefield games allow squads to say, “hey different members of our team saw a tank over here awhile ago, and even though they aren’t here and haven’t spoken to us, we know exactly where it is and can attack it”
The most I would accept from a type of Minimap would be Battlefronts version of a Minimap where it just says a region around you has enemy units (ONLY LIGHTS UP AT THE SOUND OF GUNFIRE, no warning if an enemy is printing around you, really lame if that’s the case.
Let me know what you guys think, I know most of you would say just play hardcore mode, but with the change of era, a Minimap as detailed as Bf4 should not exist even in core mode
I do want a minimap for orientation purposes.But i do NOT want minimap spotting.I find it to be an atrocious mechanic in all BF games ,even in BF2
I would agree with that battlefront minimap system,sounds interesting.
The problem is,ambushing and flanking is useless when at your first shot everyone knows your current position.There is no reason to do that and it just rewards having your senses turned off and just hunting red marks on the minimap
Inb4 “suppressors will be useless then”.Just remove their speed penalty and give them the advantage of the shots not being heard
Yeah that could work too, like include a detailed map of your surroundings, but no spotting abilities at all. I really hated that feature in Battlefield games as well, takes strategy out of a game that’s supposed to be the most popular strategic fighting game out there
I must agree with you on the minimap model such as the Star Wars Battlefront’s one, but maybe slightly remade. However removing the minimap completely would be a bad idea.
Hard to fully figure it out. Minimaps are sci-fi at it’s finest in games. But if it needs to be done I’d say make it so there is no minimap spotting. And if we’re worried about some authenticity, we could go a more rural route. Have it like Red Orchestra where you have an actual map you bring up to see where you are. And barring that, have it be in the corner. You know where you are, it feels more appropriate to the time and since it doesn’t automatically update minimap spotting should not be an issue.
If wanting to make ambushes possible again, instead of everyone always knowing where everyone is at all times, so the whole point of the game is who can kill the other quicker (No strategy whatsoever) then yes, I would like to make normal more hardcore
I’m all for this no mini map spotting. But if they absolutely have to have it. Then just make the spotted enemy location blink once on the mini map then disappear. And for god sakes no Doritos floating above people heads.
I keep dreaming from a single player campaign with an open world setting in battlefield… and not any symbols so you have to take the time to work out where everything is and not that its given by flashing lights.
Hardcore in bf4 had no minimap, and to my knowledge the average soldier doesn’t carry around a bird’s eye view of the battlefield irl. Keep no minimap in hardcore, maybe do minimaps without spotting on regular servers
