minimap

Definition

A bird's-eye view display in video games that reveals enemy positions, objectives, and terrain—basically a cheat code for people who don't want to be ambushed by surprise. Glance down for 0.5 seconds and suddenly you're tactical.

Example Usage

I always check the minimap before pushing a corner; getting backstabbed is not in my gaming plan.
