Would you like far cry 5 to be like battlefield 1 where gunfire doesn't show you up on mini map, or like normal cod style where gunfire shows you up on mini map? i like the bf1 system myself.
Mini Map gone in far Cry 5 and good riddance - They have that compass system in place so hoping there is an option to turn it off in FC5's multiplayer if it works in MP.
Some people don't have big nice surround sound systems or fancy headphones, so directional audio should not be the only way that sort of thing is communicated... just sayin'...
While I do have that on my desktop (although due to some technical problem the sound is down to 1 speaker); I prefer to use simple headphones while gaming. Didn't the FC series, and other games use a red flash to show the player which way the gunfire was coming from? That works for most of us.
The other issue is this whole question is based on the assumption that there is a mini-map in MP when we have no idea that that's the case. Stands to reason if they removed it from SP it won't be in MP either....
No minimaps ever in sp and mp, Ban minimaps to history. They just for people who want easy kills ,who dont want fair fights, or hunt for the enemy and dont want to explore.
