In conflict gamemode when you open the map you can see a text with your approximate location in lower right corner of the screen.
bat that feature is missing in recon ops gamemode (and in tutorial too)
pluse in conflict there is a marker which shows you respawn point, which is missing in recorn ops too..
p.s.; if it was intended, can you pls make option in game settingse to show text with your approximate location in lower right corner of the map
