No Minimap Size Adjustment?!?

Am i missing something or have they removed the ability to resize your minimap? Playing on ultrawide and having a tiny little minimap in the bottom left corner is ridiculous as you can barley see it

    No you are absolutely correct @MotorizedKiwi ,

    EA Dev team have skipped the option of allowing us to resize the minimap...

    So that function is no longer available in the settings for us. 

    We are many not happy about this and have reported it as a missing functionality that we want back!

    Again, mindboggling why EA are not providing just the most basic of functions that have been eagerly used by most players in the past many many BF games.

    This is simply not good enough EA.

    All while you bragged to the whole world just a few months back that you were way ahead of schedule with the development of this game.

    @MotorizedKiwiI was hoping I just missed the option to re-size but sadly not. This was a real nice option!

    Have you noticed another piece of the minimap, where the programmers have simply just been lazy this time around?

    Previously we have always had the option also to have the resolution being dynamically adjusted depending on the map size and game type.  Now instead it is just a firm fixed proportional size instead.  Aka how many yards or meters you want it to cover, no matter the situation or map you are on...

    That is what we get when they go cheap on the game designer- and programmer talents...

  • Just another stripped out QoL option. Sucks ☹️

    So many options and mechanisms from past bf games that worked so well and made bf better have been left in the dust... 

  • It seems any map functionality was an afterthought. Who needs a map in a hero shooter? Oh wait, this is a combat FPS called Battlefield where the map is extremely important. Can't zoom in and out on any map, but you can set the zoom level in the settings?

    Yes. This minimap feature removal is very frustrating. Not only did they remove the dynamic sizing feature. But, they also removed the ability to switch between minimap zoom levels manually, while in game. You could toggle between 3 different minimap zoom levels in BF4.

  • First I thought the manual resizing wasn't registering or something...

    Kept pushing the 'N-key' like a madman, then I realised it wasn't implemented.

    We need it back asap.

  • @MotorizedKiwi It's basic features such as this which need to return. Having the ability to adjust the minimap zoom on the fly is not a "legacy feature"...

    Furthermore, there's no "enlarged minimap". The "enlarged minimap" was a godsend and now it's just non-existent.

    @zenn_nme I was shocked too. There is no option to change the mini-map magnification or its size. Ahead of schedule indeed.
