    True, but its easier to get disoriented if the mini map is spinning around you, and the directions are constantly changing. On a static map, North is up, South is down, ect.

      For infantry and ground vehicles, the rotating map was too confusing for me. I used it for a day or two to see how it was. I never got used to it.

      I use the static minimap.

      However, for jets and helos, I can see how a rotating map would be more beneficial. I'm afraid of heights though, so I never go in the air .

        Static map for me, I've never really tried rotating but I would assume it would just bother me.

          Static because BF1942 and BFV's were also static. Rotation was a bit distracting and disorienting for me.

              Isn't it distracting? (Rotating)

                  rotating... WHY?
                  -if you quickly want to see whats in front of you, you dont need to look around the minimip to see whats to the left, right or center of you. You know automatically that whatever is on the left is on your left, right is on right etc...

                  i can see why some use static, but i think people with roatating have an advantage.

                  plus im used to it for other games...

                      Static.

                      But i would go with Rotating if i could get some fuzzy dice up there in the corner to bounce around when it moves. :)

                          Then that requires you to pay more attention to your mini map while some sob snipes you out.

                          Static because its less hastle. A moving mini map frustrates me and just end up getting lost and having to concentrate more on the map than my gameplay.

Its extremely good to orientate around while youre flying a jet and it doesnt get confusing when you turn a lot, also- its a lot more natural to keep track of.
                            QFT, I tried the static a few days ago and I really couldn't make out anything. I was completely confused.
