In Actual Reality, I have a natural sense of direction, I can usualy feel which way is north (right now at my computer I'm facing about 45 degrees east of north)
In some maps I have this weird sense of which way is north, however there is no way of really knowing which way is north because in the UT universe there is no north (for some reason in DM-Malaria I refer to the end of the map with the crashed plane as south, I just realised I do this and I think it's weird, but could be useful).
So it would be cool if we all had compasses, and all maps had a north. In real combat you would know which way was north, and knowing where north is is central to your ability to tell your team mates where you are or where they need to go (eg. you say to your team "I'm just west of the base, Bob you go around the east side and Larry you hit the northwest entrance with a grenade and we'll all enter the base on that mark").
Unfortinatly this may require the map designers to denote north when they build the maps, but is there some sort of data that exists in maps now that could be used to define north (I'm assuming that maps use coordinates, so there must be a 0,0 coordinate, maybe we could say that if no north position is defined by the map designer that 0,1 is always east of 0,0 or something like that).
I hate to see the Inf release date pushed back further, but if this is not too difficult to do, I think it would add siginifantly to the realism of the map and greatly improve team tactics.
