Compass Rose

Yeah it's pretty disorienting for me too if I use it outside.

Indoors though I found it actually quite useful when I tried it, since my spatial perception changes and I start sensing where everything is relative to the direction I'm facing instead of picturing them in relation to compass headings (unless I'm calling out an outside OS target for someone).

However, since there is no toggle key bind in PS1 to switch between the 2 setting I just keep it in the non-rotating form.

I see that the new gameplay footage is still sporting the inferior bar-style compass at the top edge of the minimap so I thought I'd /bump this since everyone here seems to prefer the PS!-style circumflexed compass.

Mr. Higby, any chance we could get the PS1-style minimap compass as an option? Pwetty pweeeeeeease???

Maybe we'll have to be whiny little babies about it all the way through beta, but damnit, we want a compass rose.

That's ok. With our superior Vanu knowledge we understand you insecurity. Now back to the original point and less hate crimes. Unless they're against the TR. I think we can all agree those guys have it coming.

With all true respect for faction competition, I ask you to keep the rails in the original position.

Yeah, I used the compass all the time in PS1, but never used it in BF3. It's just too hard to quickly get a direction out of it. Would much prefer it to be on the minimap instead of a bar.
