Title: I hate the new clipboard map look
Post by: jamin on March 15, 2003, 10:05:12 AM

Hello,

The new clipboard map is now very difficult to read as everything blends in, making virtually impossible to read anyting unless you zoom in very close.  The new look of the clipboard map makes the game less enjoyable, as it now requires more work, reducing the overall experience in the game.

Could we please go back to the old style clipboard maps?  They are more user friendly than the version which was just released.

As an fyi, I have been on the game on 3 different occasions since the new patch, and everytime I am prematurely logging off, as the clipboard map puts me off.  In fact, right now, instead of flying (which is what I would rather be doing), I find myself here writing to you.

IMO the clipboard map is great.  I love the terrain detail and the topographical indications of altitude.  With the old one, you could never tell where the big hills were just by looking at the clipboard map.

i found the new map to look very bleached out, kinda weird; then i noticed the topographical features; overall, much nicer. Bleach on!

HUH?

The new clipboard map is better than the old, in just about every possible way.  The colors may be a bit bright, but they do stop the airbase labels from blending in.

New clipboard is awsome...It's much like a topographical map of a lake...Much easier to find fish now.

Kind of a hook, presume;)

New map is far more readable in any detail, has a good choice of colour, and is complete in altitude information, what you need more??
Great work:)

The only thing I dont like about the new clipboard, is the bleached out look. I would like to see a little more contrast in the map for easier viewing. Other than that it is great!

the new clipboard map is also great for planning ground ops. Easy to tell if you facing a steep climb or if it's going to be a nice downhill run to the enemy base.

Yep, hopefully, this will reduce the few complaints I've heard about the high mountains. The new map makes it easy enough to avoid them.
