Grenade explosions should be visible on minimap

Got a great new idea for the game?

Grenade explosions should be visible on minimap

They should make grenade explosions visible on the minimap, that would be helpful especially in situations where you are deep underground and someone is above you but you want to pinpoint their location from the grenade they threw.

And how it would be done? Like, how the icon would look like?

A small expanding yellow circle could probably appear in the map.
To a Physicist, white and black is the presence and absence of color.
To a Fine Artist, white and black are just shades and tints of color.
To a Painter, any paint that you could get into a can is a color.
THIS color, on the other hand, is #b4d455.

No. Even bullet-tracers should be turned off. If you can't determine where-abouts the shot came from without tracers, you shouldn't know where the shooter is.

I check the minimap to see whenever a deuce stops spraying a SMG in my direction.
Don't take that ability away from me.

Even if it was there, you can't pinpoint where the thrower is. I mean all you can know is the radius of whee he is but by the time your searching for the thrower, he/she will be gone or have killed you.

I dont see how this would really be usefull as it kinda just say where your geting attacked instead of just general direction and distance, which i can usualy estimate with in ~7 blocks.

+1. And another suggestion for this feature would be that it covers up map icons like players and tracers, so it could act a bit like a flashbang if used skillfully.
