I think we should have the radar on.
There, I've said it.
You can't have a radar in HC mode:norty:

Well, maybe we should reconsider that as well? The radar improves teamplay and tactics. I am with Benny on this one.
So, as this has dribbled into a hole. Thought I'd say....It think we should have radar on.
It promotes team play. With the numbers we have it promotes a better understanding of your team spread in Dom for example.
What are the downsides of having it off (shut up Pen), more shots to kill?
Hmmm. I'm struggling with this request. I fully understand the reasons for having it on but if it also means that all the other HUD stuff gets turned on too then what we have is ... err ... CS.
I've said all along that what we don't want is for there to be a perception of CoD4 'stealing' CS players. The two games are just different enough at the moment to reinforce that. I'm worried that if we switch on the HUD goodies we may do damage to CS.
When BB is back from hols I'll see what can be achieved which might entail setting up two servers for comparison. Remember, we are striving to ensure that, no matter what, our servers are ranked. A lesson learned from BF2.
I have no idea what the ramifications are. I don't want a hud, and I do want ranked. Can't we have as is with the radar added?

How many ways can one say no. Let's see, no NO nO No N0....that's it I think. :lmfao:

Had a look through google and it seems that you cannot have both if you want a ranked server. One option could be though to have another server which is unranked with radar turned on. On such a server you could also have custom maps (which you can't on a ranked server).
Benny, I am sure that in time everyone will be lvl55 and then the ranking will not matter anyway (unless you are interested in prestige mode).
Doc, prestige mode is console only.

Yes I know. It still requires a ranked server if you want to do it
If you can't do it. Ranked or not ranked makes no difference then:D
I don't care about ranked, but do see that it's good for the server and community.
If we sort out comms in game, not using bloody ventrilo or other, then I guess the lack of raadr is made up for....
Ron, say yes, you know you want to.
Being a 'lazy' gamer I never thought I'd want to make it harder for myself, but I find myself saying no to the radar.
I played on a random pubbie server to get some levelling in and it had the radar, crosshair, hud etc and it made it less exciting, less scary and less challenging. Being told there's a grenade at your feet and to throw it back took the edge off it somewhat.
That said, I totally agree that more VC needs to be employed to make up for it.

Yeh I noticed I couldn't bring up the console.
