Two complaints about DOD 1.0

Okay i was playing it this morning and kinda liked what i played, but at the same time i felt there was really something annoying me and i finall figured it out.

1) That damn map up in the upper right hand corner is there a way to turn that off cause it blocked my line of site several times and got me killed way to many times and it is very distracting

2) The dog that pops up to give you words of encouragement. He is also annoying and i would shoot him if he was infront of me. Is there anyway to turn that off as well.

Other than i kinda enjoy the new update

Another complaint is that it shows people where I kill them from.
I like to hide.

The new one has some good points but the little things dont bother me. Such as:

-you cant see your own bullet holes.
-the sounds are not loud enough
-the crosshairs are going to take time to get used to
-your teammates has signs of allies or axis above thier heads
-the muzzle flash is wierd
-what shockwave said about showing where you hide once you die
-and is it just me or do the allies and axis look too alike

but these are nothing that a little customizing cant fix

I was playing on a non ville server cause people weren't on the ville and Friendly Fire was off and i was so paranoid to shoot because allies and axis coats were almost identical....all in all i am slightly and growing ever more disappointed with this update...but maybe with time ill get used to it. The cross hairs bug me as well.

I checked to see if it fixed the exploits and it did for the most part. I haven't checked every map yet but the ones that I did check were fixed

. It will take some time to get used to but all in all a good job. It should even things up a bit.

i find the new patch much better. i love the new crosshairs and i like the map in the corner. really easy on new maps.

the only thing i don't like is the dog comming up with his comment:

you spotted an allie

you shot an enemy. keep up the good work.

sigh thats no good

It tells them where you shot them from? WTF thats the stupidest thing ive ever heard, it make sniping just about useless. Im still at work so I have to wait to check it out. Hopefully it doesnt ruin the game

I haven't tried it yet since I'm not a big fan of it to begin with, maybe someone can answer this for me. Did they release any new maps with 1.0??

and as for the showing of the location of the person who killed you...sounds like a page from the creation of BF1942. and really its a double edged sword, its helpful if you just can't seem to find that guy repeated killing you...but if you're that guy then it sucks.

im having a sort of love/hate relationship with 1.0. i like some of the new stuff and hate some of the new stuff.

pros:
great particles
great maps
same great gameplay
great new weapons
i love the new features such as picking up enemy weapons

cons:
extremely laggy on lower end to mid range machines
the particles kill any hope of an fps above 35
new crosshair sucks, old one was better
not seeing your own bullet holes makes it impossible to lead on a target

these pros and cons are not all the goods and bad but just the ones i felt needed touching on. dod is still great but there are a few things IMHO need changing.

The new dod server needs to have the stat counter installed or whatever it takes to see the stats on this website.
