This time, it is about the in-game settings. They are important because many new players do not change them from the get-go, and first impressions are important.
Radar
Possibly the most powerful utility in the game, its default size on the HUD is by far too small. I would increase it. The radar type should probably be Fast Sorted on default as well, considering it is usually the most suitable radar type.
Key mappings
These are just all over the place on default. This can be especially problematic for keyboard players, as they do not use a mouse for moving, aiming, firing and respawning. Rather, they have to rely on button inputs which, as of right now, are set all over the keyboard, instead of being in reach of a single palm.
My suggested remappings, based around Tab staying the jump key:
- Q - Fire shot
- W - Identify/Lock On, as well as Restart
