i dont remember last time i got rid of it cos i used to hate it too, there was a "radar settings" button if you hit escape ingame...i reckon the middle radar is handy now though...

when you start the game properly (ut2004exe -mod=deathball) you will have the radar options in the settings.
but from my experience i can tell that its a bit annoying when you are new to deathball, but as soon as you start learning how to (ab)use it, you dont wanna miss it again, it's something no serious player can live without

I use the middle radar excessively, and the bottom right one to see the action when I'm sitting a ways away from it all (when keeper, mostly). Oh, and occasionally to see where people are open :)

I'm a serious player and I've always done fine without the centre radar.

I'm pretty serious, I hate it, it distracts me.

why on earth would you wanna get rid of that radar.

it helps with being boosted., timing vollys when someone passes to you from behind. as well as cover a man without having to look at him.

oy, its no distraction its a blessing.

im def not new to db been playing since 1.4b but i just dont like it becuase its not very transparent and it covers up 50% of my screen, maybe if it was clear with little dots on it that would be better.

the huge problem I have with the middle radar, si that I can't see SHIT,... I can't see the dots clear since I then look at the other side of the pitch.. annoying
