Why does the last gen mini map seem better quality than current gens?

[elfoam]

Last gen's map is indeed better and so is the players lists which goes full demented on current gen with the whole.. might be two downs presses, might be three.. to expand the map and it'll last just a few seconds only.. Such unprofessional coding for a AAA game.

I have been feeling it.just wish we could hide job blips atleast our own. I mean just have an option to change what I see.

You can select what icons show up on minimap. You can turn off certain jobs/properties/stores etc icons in the options menu. Just dig around a little and there ya go.

I play with the expanded radar on, always! I spend much time flying anyway. There are disadvantages, mostly when in interiors or pvp on foot. But I've never looked back.

Wish we had the detail from current gen and the colors from last gen.

 

The best of two worlds.

Same. I find it strange that people are complaing about the small CG minimap comared to LG when it's clearly better to just ehable the expanded radar.

Or just git gud at expanding it. In a firefight I expand it instinctively. A long time ago I learned to decode distances on the expanded minimap to heavy sniper range. Basically expand mm, spin to find closest enemy, decide instantly if it's in sniper range and choose from weapon wheel accordingly.

Lol git gud, fact is exp radar shows all around and you use it the same way as you described when gittin gud. Only difference is you can alway tell if someone is gittin close from all angles evenly. 

Plus doing what you described in a fast moving vehicle is even more instictive, so much so that (as I'm sure you know) you can pilot and kill without really looking at the targets on the ground.

 

It's a matter of preference but imo the exp radar has more advantages than the default, tbh I switch between both often I wish we could just toggle it big or small.
