+1 or if you really want the 3rd person view then maybe make a mini map?

Thats kinda one of the things that makes the game so intense, you have to always be aware of your surroundings. With that said, if enough people ask for a minimap during the beta then i will most definently add one.

I like it as-is. But this is coming from someone who love first person shooters. Getting stabbed in the back is just part of the game!
Also, question. Where could I go to start learning how to do some of this stuff with the editor, i.e. what resources did you use? How many people worked on this and is there somewhere we can see more info about the specifics of how it was done?
This has given me an insane idea to remake an old first person shooter / RPG hybrid game called Rolemaster Magestorm I used to play on my 56k connection. I lack the knowledge about the data editor though...
Been helping beta this map some, it's really fun, I can only hope that it stays popular when it is released so that I can always find people to play (or that they revamp the custom game system well, but you know, one miracle at a time).
Dude this is awesome. It's really cool that you were able to make this with the Sc2 map editor. Suggestion: Maybe make some powerups spawn on the map that would temporarily increase your disk speed or allow you to make a temporary impassable barrier directly in front of you or something like that? I think it would add a lot of depth to the gameplay even though this game looks pretty cool as is. I'll definitely give it a couple trys when it's out of beta :D
