CNC:NET opens up a whole new world for changes to our beloved but flawed Tiberian Sun and I feel like we should use this board to figure out our standpoint on issues before presenting them to the people in charge of cnc:net to not waste their time.
Personally I never used the minimap as a radar is too expensive and takes away too much energy. I'm so stuck in my ways that I'd even hit tab on BBG to see players/colors rather than the minimap as I never looked at it in the first place. But with the new spectator mode on CNC:NET that comes with free mini map I learned to appreciate it again. As I see it here are the
Pros: It should be available as an on/off option so you aren't forced to use it Adds a concept that is completely normal in any other RTS game Makes it easier for new players to navigate and learn the game
Cons: Has been a bannable offense for years even though it doesn't give a player an unfair advantage anymore as it's available for everybody or nobody Changes TS' basic concepts
Discuss and vote!

I think having a radar for a slight advantage in map awareness is in some cases (like a 8 player FF game maybe) a viable option. And I dont think removing options is what this game needs. You should also think about how much easier it makes scouting and anti scouting, some players are better at that than others and a minimap would even that out a lot. Theres nothing that really speaks against an on/off option though.

I guess I didn't make myself clear enough here. What I was talking about is giving all players free minimap from the start (or rather an option to enable it). Not taking it away.
