Could we get a minimap?

While wandering around completely lost on kf_farm I came to the realization that this game would be much improved with a map of some kind. Even if it was part of the perk menu and didn't show your own location it would still be very helpful.
Naturally, I'd much rather have a full map menu showing the locations of team mates, and a minimap showing your own location. Optionally, it could also show the locations of higher-tier specimens (Flesh Pounders and Patriarch) that your team has visuals on.

why would you need all of this team information if you are meant to be standing next to them?

hmm... actually I think the fact that you CAN get lost from your teammates should stay, as it really adds something extra to the teamwork Stray too far from each other = chance of getting lost and eventually die.

I think a minimap would make the game lose some of that survival feel, even if it didn't show your own position on the map. Too much challenges would be lost making it.

How about just a map, then? One that's only available through the perk menu, and thus leaves you vulnerable when you look at it?
Or making a minimap available in the form of a mutator?

Also, as far as staying with your team goes, I've found that to only be a wise idea when you're playing only with people you know and who are also skilled. I have yet to see a public game where people bunkered down somewhere and managed to survive (Besides beginner mode), but I've been in plenty of Hard Long games where random idiots people were running around on their own and managed to live long enough to fight the patriarch - sometimes successfully.
