Subject: Heatmaps

I like the new 'heatmaps' feature, it is very useful and shows me areas to avoid, however, if you view a small map looking at deaths the entire map is red, so doesn't tell you anything, likewise, on big maps if you look at kills very few locations are shown. My conclusion - heat-mapping system needs to be 'smarter', being less sensitive to deaths on small maps and more sensitive to kills on larger maps. Thankyou for your time.

Hmm...

This could be fixed on smaller maps quite easily. Instead of increasing the "thermal" register every kill/death, it increases the same increment for every 2 deaths. As more and more deaths add up, this is rasied to 3, then 4, and so on.

It'd keep the map more readable, and would show you the most troubling areas; areas where you die often, and not just areas where you die period.

As far as larger maps go, this kind of program wouldn' apply. In fact, it'd be best to use a smaller increment for a longer period of time.

I suggest you change the weapon filters. When you look at the heatmap with kills/deaths of ANY weapon, it shows all red, but once you get down to specific weaponry, it changes.

No.

it should show each area as a percentage of total deaths instead of each death=heat

Bingo. At least make it a drop-down selection.

I think its set to amount of deaths, although i would like it to be most common death areas
