To be clear, when I say the tactical map, I don't mean the minimap at the bottom-right of the screen. That's working fine. I played this game when I was a kid, and I distinctly remember that there was a tactical map that would show routes, hints, possible enemy locations, objectives, and such. It was pre-rendered, and looked like an actual map that people had been drawing on. I think it was displayed during the loading screens for each level. The loading screens are currently showing just a generic terrain background for each level. Or maybe the map was displayed during the walkie-talkie orders from HQ section of each mission, I don't remember specifically.

This tactical map was immensely helpful in particular during the bank heist mission in the desert, since it showed the path of the allied halftrack, where the enemy tanks would come from, and which archways to destroy to block their path.

Anyone else remember this and know why I can't find the maps ingame?

Ah, nevermind. I found it. It's on button F12.
