📋 About This Mod
Adds headings in degrees to the compass, as well as intercardinal directions.. Useful in co-op for alerting teammates to threat directions.
Revised the compass gauge to be segmented in a way that makes sense. (MW5 Original was too segmented in some places(7), and inexplicably smaller but still too many segments in others(6). Compass Headings evenly reduces that to 5 in all sections of the compass. (TL;DR: The original game's compass was visually misshapen. This fixes that.)
North is 0/360 degrees. Headings in degrees increase in a clockwise manner around the compass.
Cardinal directions keep their colour from MW5, heading degrees are white for visibility/legacy colour styling.
Intercardinal directions have the same colour as the cardinal directions, but use a slightly smaller font.
Compass Headings is a lightweight UI mod that adds degree headings and intercardinal directions to the in-game compass. It's for players who want precise navigation without cluttering the screen. With 420 endorsements and 12,760 downloads, it's a proven, simple enhancement.
