I would really like to have a option that allows us to see teamate names on the Large Map..
It would make it easier for a commander to see what player is doing what, and Also to play with friends..
Give the name text on the map a small font that does not blend in with the Map colors and it would be awesome..

The large map would feel much more complete with that option :)
Right now the map is just a bunch of boring icons :(

    I'd like to see this as well. Also, when I die and I'm watching other players, i'd like to see the name of the player I'm watching somewhere on my screen. As it is now I'm watching some random player wondering who it is.

    I feel like it will make the map too crowded, but then again I play on a low resolution because this game doesn't run well on my laptop...

    or how about making it so that people on your friends list say on steam appear as a (different) coloured icon on the map ?

    Steam avatars for friends.

    It'd be edgy and cool.

    Well your Team could have Blue names and Friends could have Green or something like that,
    You would just need to look for colors on the map to find your friends. :)

    The names does not need to be large, Just a small simple text above the icon on the map so that you can see who it is.

    How about we steal something from Halo and put a nickname for you on the map, or we just get a call number with a list that opens next to the map. Like Alpha 5 or Bravo 3.

    This is something that I had in my mind, I am horrible at editing pictures so I just made a black background with some text on it ^^
    But i think you guys get the idea.

    Every player should get a text above their icon on the map.

    The blue names is your team

    The Green/Yellow names are players on your friend list,
    The friend list idea is not really that important but it would be a cool thing to have if you got friends that also play this game :)

    If you ask me then I say that this would be a great improvement for the game.
