Separate monitor for map

OK Dingo, long barrages of wrong things nonstop here and honestly dont understand why you make it so personal and hyper aggressive...

First 4 things here:

1.  You of course have absolutely no way to determine if I am sorry or not.   Obviously I am sorry, because you appear to take it very very bad to be called out with stating wrong facts about the game functionality. 

2.  You based your all negativity against Battlescreen on two functionalities.  And both of them were wrong versus reality.  You could quickly check those facts yourself, but you appear not willing to do so despite I kindly pointed them out.  And without being personal or aggressive, because that serves absolute no constructive purpose. 

3. It is certainly wrong to call out Battlescreen as an exploit, when it was a very deliberate and dedicated map functionality developed by EA to support the gameplay.  And that it was equally made available to all players that wanted its support.

4. And yes, despite what you may want it to be or not, then Battlescreen is a Web Application!

"A web application (or web app) is application software that runs on a web server, unlike computer-based software programs that are run locally on the operating system (OS) of the device. Web applications are accessed by the user through a web browser with an active network connection. These applications are programmed using a client–server modeled structure—the user ("client") is provided services through an off-site server that is hosted by a third-party. Examples of commonly-used web applications include: web-mail, online retail sales, online banking, and online auctions."

I can't say it is cheating but to deny it could be exploited is the other side of the cheating coin.

A tad extreme on both sides.

For me, it wouldn't upset me if it was there but would prefer it to not be available.

@CyberDymeI can attest this was indeed true. You can kind of get the Battlescreen to work in Battlefield 4 now and test it.

What it is, is the copy of the map your character sees. Nothing more, nothing less.

You could have it open on your second monitor or iPad or phone. Even if you were on Xbox or Playstation.

It is not giving much advantage over checking your map in game, if any. Only giving constant view of the map, which can help visualize the battleground.

I liked it and would use it again, but it's not necessary or giving any edge.

Battlescreen was not cheating. Don't spread false information about a well known feature that was a test as much as the commander mode in Battlefield 4 and Hardline.

Thank you @TheNorthFIN for the confirmation!

I am not against anybody here, so don't understand the personal attack when I am just simply trying to state the facts on how the Battescreen factually worked.  I definitely find it sad if the Battlescreen was upsetting some players, as they based their opinion on things not true about it as was the case here.

@CyberDymeThe negative comments cannot be valid when not based on the facts and I called them out. So sorry for that.

No your not. By the way when are you going to present facts? All you have done is claim I am wrong while stating your opinion.   All to justify that an exploit was not always used as an exploit. 

This Battlescreen, it is not a web or mobile app.

Trying to divert the answer Battlescreen still worked when the hud was disabled for hardcore. Sure stop 2d or 3d spotting was disabled that still leaves gadgets, passive and audio.  Which is one reason the hud was disabled to stop seeing any spots.  If battlescreen was not disabled in that mode it is a exploit.  

Cheating is cheating.  Calling it collaborating does not stop it being an exploit.

I am definitely not trying to divert anything here!   I am simply just stating the facts about how the Batlescreen worked or not.  If you cant handle the facts, too bad, but it is not my fault.  And yes, its a bit hard to prove something that was available 3-8 years ago and little formal documentation still around on these days.  But expect many more Battlescreen users online here who could chip in, if they dare...  :o)

Here is a response to other players years back from @ragnarok013 who confirmed the fact.  

And yes, Ragnarok is asking about the user's web browser, because the Battlescreen was a web based application.

I found the Battle screen looked good on this little eight inch monitor under my main monitor. The whole set up was clean and cool looking.

Kept the screen a little bigger then normal size. It didn.t show  more but was just bigger same area used, just larger, for these old eyes. Here a battle a screen to yaz.

Was fun Just another tweek I miss from BF4
