Minimap says "Zurvian Amp Station" and has 6 icons that are labeled: A, B, C, D, E, and F. I'm fairly confident those are capture indicators for control nodes. Higby said there's 5-7 per facility. He's playing NC (Gauss Rifle) and the indicators are Red, so I assume that means TR control them.

Interesting...so I presume that physically entering the facility will cause those indicators to pop up on your screen.

Those indicators might appear for any territory when you enter it.

It'd be fantastic if they implemented a full-colour minimap. I'm not a big fan of the blue trace BF3-style one they've got in there at the moment.

BF3 minimap is horrible. PS1 minimap was great, I hope they go back to that instead of blindly adopting the horrible UX of "modern" shooters. PS1 got it right the first time.

I don't remember PS1's minimap being particularly informative.

Though I haven't played in a few years.

I used to pilot a liberator exclusively by looking at the minimap. I'd look forward for elevation but I always used minimap to line up targets and approach and course-correct. It was good enough and actually quite superb for for that.

It had the right amount of detail and information and wans't some unusable monochrome POS.

Except that's the most suggestive lava lamp I've ever seen...

You heard it here first!

Listen son, I'M the troll here, you go away.
