why is there no map?

[shotgunharry]

just bought the game and i love it. but the most annoying thing is that there is no overview map. i have no clue where i am. am i south-west of the map or north, or where the fck am i? i don't need a mini map or a detail map, just an overview to know where i am... why not? i don't get it... a map would make this game a 10/10

You have a compass...thats the only way to have general idea of where you are on the map, other than having good map knowledge.

theres no map to make it more realistic. Theres no map for real spec ops and the game is based around knowing where to peak, what hiding places there are and knowing the way around to attack from the best points. Adding a mini map would point it in the direction of COD and we dont want/need that.

i don't want a mini map. i want a "overview" map, like we have in rl even real spec ops have a map, like maps you can buy on gasstation, and then you know where you are and then based on compas you know like i have to walk north east...

There is an overview map, thats when you choose a spawn point

It's only in ranked. You can see a full overhead map when choosing a spawn point. However you can see it in casual if everyone's drones get destroyed during prep phase

Study the maps for a bit, it helps a lot.

That's the whole point of the game. Know the maps, and communicate a lot with your allies.

the most basic callouts you can make are saying which floor/direction they are...so like "theres 1 in 2nd floor south east room"

but don't worry eventually you'll play it enough where you learn what some of the rooms are called or certain names people call them so then you can just say that and people will know instantly where it is

here's a playlist of a popular R6S youtuber that does some information/walkthrough of the maps if you just wanna watch it

But it is impossible to combat and look at the map at the same time, like other FPS games does.

I know that. I was just responding to the guy who said spec ops dont have or use maps IRL.
