Minimap Option now available in Hardcore

Taken from the patch notes released today via Battlelog.

"Option to remove minimap in Hardcore mode
We now allow disabling the minimap in Hardcore mode.

Rationale: It’s been a requested feature from the community to be able to remove the minimap in hardcore mode. We are now adding a new preset on consoles for server admins to use called “Hardcore no map” which disables the minimap and keeps the rest of the Hardcore settings intact. On PC, you disable the minimap with the server command “vars.minimap false” that is now permitted on Hardcore servers. Enjoy!"

How will this be affecting the server configs for match servers? Thanks in advance, and take your time. I realize this was just announced.

HC players, sound off please.

We can implement this one pretty quickly.

Yes or no, please.

Yes turn the minimap off! I think if you really want to play "hardcore" the minimap should always be off!

i say we leave it on.w/out it stuff like the tugs would be useless

I say turn it off.

It would change the dynamic too much. I say leave it on

I vote leave it ON.

I say take it off, tugs make a distinct noise when someone is close. So its not making it useless.

This is hardcore after all.

I vote to keep it on

I vote for remove the map. Becomes more skill based without it.

Map off please.
This is HARDCORE

yeah im all for the map off as well

For the sake of keeping us on our toes, I vote take it off.

Looks as though "Off" is the winner.

I will add it to server configs for HC ladders and we will bring it up live starting Sunday at 11:59PM EST.

Thank you, gentlemen.

I suggest leaving it otherwise teams that play both hardcore and softcore would suffer from not being able to rely on it.

So whats the deal with this? Are you going to bring it up to a vote with leadership or not? If not why has the rules page not been updated?

because nobody really cares
