    I was commanding a few days ago, and I was getting sick of my camera getting stuck on slaughtered. I thought of a cool, simple feature to add.

    Allow the commander to save camera positions and jump to them at the press of a button.

    Good idea? Bad idea? Pitch forks and torches idea?

    I don't really see what would be the point (apart from unsticking your camera). Isn't it just a click on the minimap away?

    Once the camera gets stuck you have no choice. You have to reenter comm view.

    nope, i just hold on mouse buttom and move it all around the minimap until it jumps (though that becomes hard in maps like cyclopean cause it has so many hills and dips.

    It's still more works than it needs to be, a simply one button hit would be fine.

    I thought the comm-view is fixed in 2.2. Am I wrong?

    But I think this is a good suggestion anyway. You can save some good views on maps like slaughtered and you have a quick overview over every important location. Clicking on the minimap brings you to that position, but you often still have to adjust the camera position.
