    yeah, looks good, or at least a minimap. as a totaly new player, i am anyway confused of the game already, a minimap could help to have an eye on the map and on the situations.

    the map overlay is quite useful, you can't see anything on a regular minimap, whereas a lot of things such as player locations can easily be seen with a map overlay.

    No reason not to have both.

    Beta definitively needs it, right now as Marine you can get separated from your teammate simply by walking around a corner pretty much, and you can't help someone being attacked since you don't even know where they are. Aliens are better off since they have the Hive-Sight at least.

    ns1 has one of the best map systems of all time in anyvideo game. the "c" key which brings up that map in ns1 is awesoem and I always use it while playing alien, It show'd where your teammates were, if they were underattack, where you rt's were, which waty you are facing etc, it had it all.

    Blech! Not for me, thanks. Having a pop-up map available like in NS1 (c key) will be fine.

    I really relied on the NS pop up map. I wouldn't mind other options but I think the pop up is the best option.

    The pop-up map was great, I don't see why they'd leave it out (unless they don't have time to implant it). It'll give me something to look at while I morph.
