Disclaimer: By "map" I mean the geographical maps. Not the build itself.
Currently, the handheld battlezone map looks like this:
Because of the way it looks, it's difficult to work out where to drop with your teammates, even if you're in a voice chat.
I've got two different ways to make it a heck of a lot easier to discuss where to drop with your team, both in voice chat and team chat.
The first method is to add a giant map of the... well... map(?) in the waiting lobby. Since it can get pretty large, it should
be able to fit an image like this at a decent quality:
The idea is to have a map along with location names for all the existing hotspots, in order to make it easy for people to work out what the official names for said locations are. This will mainly help those in a voice chat, but there's also a good was for people who chat in Minecraft itself. (Also, keep the two axis (1-10;A-J) if this is added to the waiting lobby.
To make it easier, we could just as well paste the simplified version of the map with the hotspot names over them. After all, having the names of the locations is good info to have.
Shortened version: Add a big sign board for the existing detailed battlezone map in the waiting lobby. This allows people in a voice chat to discuss landing strategies with location names.
Secondly, a really simple yet incredibly beneficial one.
You know how most maps have a type of scale on it to make it easy for people to pin out certain locations?
You may not have seen this, but the official BZ map has it too. Vertically, there are boxes that are numbered from 1 to 10 with horizontal lines cutting through the map to show you 10 segments. There are also horizontal boxes named A through J. You can probably see where I'm going with this: Add these axis to the handheld map for improved communication.
These two axis make it very easy to pinpoint specific locations with something as simple as mentioning a number and a letter. This will work beautifully in minecraft chat.
Anyone could get away with a simple "Go C3 because there's..." to advise their team to go to misty mines.
Short version: Add two axis to the handheld map in-game to make discussing a landing space much more convenient in chat.
