Something Wrong With The Minimap?

<div class="IPBDescription">it doesn't seem to work for me</div> Do I have something set incorrectly, graphically? The minimap doesn't seem to function for me at all as a grunt. I can't see anything on it - no blips for resource points, no blips for structures or my teammates, no blips for waypoints set by the commander, not even a blip for myself! I can't even tell which direction I'm facing! I've tried downloading new video drivers and that didn't help, so I'm guessing it must be something wrong in the graphics settings. Or maybe it's a bug, does this happen for anyone else?

    It's like this for me too. But I thought it was supposed to be that way... although I think it's very annoying that you can't see which way you're facing, making the minimap much less effective... before I played NS, I saw this little thing to the left of the minimap on the hud, which I thought was some thing to show your direction... but apparently, it's only there for show...

    True, the minimaps is absolutely useless... can someone make the hud sprite that in the middle of the minimap you have a red point? this could help

    Agreed, the minimap is absolutely NOT funky!

    Red point on center is a great idea.

    Ok, so it's *supposed* to be like that? What's the point of it, then?

    Confusing the marines so the aliens can kill them while they try to figure out where they are. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
