Cpl_Facehugger Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I really liked the No mini-map thingy on Nightmare mode :/ /w I want you back... ;'( The solution is simple: Take a post-it note, stick it to your monitor over the minimap. There you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivy- Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) I still think no minimap is a good idea for defense maps. Not mobiles, just regular. It removes a minor crutch and causes you to focus more on what's going on around you. Secondly, I think no minimap would be acceptable on all maps if a "buff" was added that allows for a better waypoint marker or some other visibly obvious way to point you in the direction you're supposed to go. "Tenno, our radar is being jammed. We are trying to compensate, but in the meantime, I have added a homing proximity beacon to your Heads-Up Display that should assist you in locating your objective." Obviously removing the minimap on nightmare was a great idea because it seriously frustrated 99% of nightmare map users. It seems like the main problem was how unplayable it made the game, though. By adding functions to enhance playability, it should remove any cause for concern that you all seemed to have. Thoughts? Also, as an afterthought, putting a post-it note over the minimap only serves to make you a worse teammate. Putting that note over your own minimap drags the rest of the team down, and it's only your fault. You can't blame the game. "Why are you going so slow X_player?" 'Oh well I put a post-it note over my minimap.' "Are you trying to make us lose?" Edited August 2, 2013 by wes_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlanShark Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Thoughts? My thoughts are you're quite right but implementing the lack of map before you can actually navigate a level visually was stupid as hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivy- Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 My thoughts are you're quite right but implementing the lack of map before you can actually navigate a level visually was stupid as hell Yeah, that was my thought as well. I was just trying to give a more level-headed response to the issue rather than the majority of players that just yelled "OMG THIS SUXXX KILL IT OMG" without explaining why it was bad or how it could be improved. CoD kids, not giving actual input to developers of games in development, really tick me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could very well be a viable option for not having a mini.map, it could also work with just having a more linear route to the objective. Personally i liked the exploration that was required to complete the mission, got a bit more tense that way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongDraw Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Yeah, the minimap navigation was about as bad as it could possibly get with waypoints jumping from one side to the other as you ran up/down stairs, making you think you went the wrong way.

RedDirtTrooper Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 It wasn't difficult, it wasn't fun, it was stupid and rage inducing, good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GottFaust Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 No minimap was just bad. Not hard, not fun, simply frustrating. The only thing it did was make extraction and finding your objective a chore. If there were set maps it would have been fine. With the current random size randomly generated map system it was simply an exercise in frustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
direcyphre Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 By use a post-it note, they are referring to blocking it off your own screen. Best of luck running nightmare with no map! The rest of us shall deal with the other bits of nightmare mode all on our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayden11121 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Or... play without UI.. cause this is a thing. That's actually what I do most of the time, for defense and things. But not for Raid for this exact reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not for Raid for this exact reason. I've tried it, but there's way to much info lost in that case. I have a grudge against Farcry 3 because of their obnoxious UI, feels like someone is poking you in the eye... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuroraSonicBoom Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Well, back to nightmare being grindy again. At least the zero shield mode is still there. I hope they'll come up with more handicaps forcing a different play style in the future(no objective marker, please?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
