Original thread is here.
Basically replace the 2D map with a 3D map that the user can view of the whole continent with seamless zooming in and out. It wouldn't show enemies/friendlies on the map at all. When you die it would be the screen you'd see to choose a spawn point. Squad leaders, Galaxies, and AMSes that you could spawn at would be visible, but you wouldn't be able to see any of the battle until you spawned.
As LordReaver said it would be a more intuitive map for squad leaders to draw on. (The drawings could even show up lightly on the terrain for the players).
