Maybe I missed it, but HT...was is the reason for the dar change?
Wondering how many people will answer besides HT?
You didnt miss it, Hitech rarely posts the "why's" of anything he does. If you want a strait answer, PM or email Hitech..... he may answer you.
Speculation is when a new player logs in for the first time ....
Old dar, a few dots/plane markers here and there ( attack zones have dar down most of the time) dar BARs are not always intuitive. Doesnt look very active, boring. New players log out never to return.
New dar shows players all over the map, lots of action going on, more interesting, may how the new guys attention longer.
