    combat is still in the game, and very much still a large part of NS, so what you say doesn't really matter. I love how every time I accidentally-on-purpose wander into these threads, people go "cuz co sucks" "well you shouldn't be playing co anyways" well, it's there to stay, at least for beta 5, and yeah, quit complaining, it's like those stupid Unban CWAG sigs. accomplish nothing.

    and, to stay on topic, I have no idea why, but it's been like that forever. But what does the map have to do with detecting aliens... You can't actually see them on the map unless someone else or you have them in your pov... correct?

    i have a trouble deciding who disgust me more: the people who've never even touched ns_ or the people who continnously diss co players for the sake of looking good in front of the forum goers.

    Co is good for a quick laugh because you straight into action without waiting for no hive or rt's to be built.

    Ns is great for long battles and plenty of fun to be had!

    Personally i like playing both CO is funny but in match length fun i prefer NS.

    I never touch CO, played it about... 6 times or so, It's just not NS (to me not to you I'm sure). No <!--emo&::hive::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/hive5.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='hive5.gif' /><!--endemo--> , No need for a <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif' /><!--endemo--> and No <!--emo&::sentry::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/turret.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='turret.gif' /><!--endemo--> = No NS.

    And no I'm not new to NS, I just don't post. I started play 2 weeks after NS came out.

    1 start hive, no more. Like I said, <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif' /><!--endemo--> aren't needed, never said they weren't there. If I wanted something like CO, I'd just go play CS. That I believe (Just my ThoughT) is why they made CO, to get more ppl playing and where better to look then in CS.

    There's no minimap in CO because it's pure combat, so I guess they decided that the map takes up a bit too much of the screen. Plus it's not like the maps are hard to navigate, there's one - three ways from the hive/marine start to the marine start/hive. Same goes for the "press C to get a big map": they're simple enough not to need one.

    Either that or because CO pretty much just happened (it didn't really evolve slowly like the current NS did, at least, not in the public's eye) maybe they didn't have the time to make the minimaps for it.

    And I think that if you have Motion Tracking, aliens show up as red blips on both the minimap and the press-c-to-show-map map... Don't know about SoF though.

    Combat used to have the map earlier in beta. I think it was removed because of a bug where the other team always showed up as MT dots regardless of whether or not you had the upgrade. Or maybe it was because the often vertically-layered co_ maps didn't work very well on a minimap, I don't really remember.
  • DrummerDrummer Join Date: 2004-02-18 Member: 26654Members
    hmm, i dont think co ever had minimaps. i think it would give marines more of an advantage tho

    Combat maps are small, have no RTS elements in it.

    A minimap would be too much of an advantage.
  • SuitePeeSuitePee Join Date: 2004-11-18 Member: 32857Members
    I didn't say CO was to be dissed.
    I was trying to say that CO should be the fun aspect of NS,and I too dislike the CO whingers. They treat CO as if it was the only game on here.
    Anyways,if CO had minimap then the marines would be advantaged.

    Drop the co/ns arguement guys, its got faff all to do with the original post.

    co did have a pull up map and mini map like ns maps in the consti beta. It was initially dropped IIRC as there was a bug where you could see the entire opposing team as red blips as per MT in NS, but applied to aliens as well.

    I suppose it was decided not to bother sorting it and re-instating it for the reasons mentioned in previous posts.
