Static or Rotating Minimap?

[Rob848]

Hey, I'm new to Battlefield and I was just curious which mini map option most of the more experienced players prefer.

I left it on the default (static) for the first week or so that I played, but the other day I decided to try it out the other way (rotating).

It seems to me that it is easier to keep track of where you are on a map with the still version, but it's easier to keep track of where the red and blue dots are in relation to you with the rotating map.

Since I am getting pretty familiar with most of the maps I play on regularly, I've decided to keep it on rotating.

Which do you use?

I like the static setting.

Im using rotating one. Ever since I set it to that setting 2 years ago I never went back. Reason is simple- youre always in the center of the minimap. 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.

You're always in the center of the static one too, it's just that the 'V' that represents your field of vision rotates instead of the map.

Rotating would be good for jets, but I use static.

I remember it not being fixed in the center, but rather moving a few centimetres around the minimap.

No, your icon is always in the same place. It just moves in the direction you facing.

Static, I like to know which direction is north, especially when a commander is using directions over voip.

On the other setting you can still tell where north is,on the out side of the mini map is a round ring and on there is north south east west
