I seemed to be quite close in my predictions, although I never predicted that the D-Pad would be repurposed for superjumping to assigned team mates.
If you look in the trailer the way the cursor moves, the nature of it is similar to that of a gyro reticle, leading me to believe that you do indeed navigate the map by toggling over your screen and using analog stick or gyro depending on your setting. This is likely to launch specials, since there are now shortcuts to superjump to team mates. And it is indeed an overlay since the location of the squid on the map is at spawn which we can clearly see blurred out in the background.
The obvious followup questions are:
-How does one BOOYAH????????
and also
-What of beakons? Surely there is no shortcut for them, but what if beakons are no more?
-What does X do?? In the top left corner... is X no longer the jump button? Weird??????
EDIT: Cool user @Leronne provides answers to most of these:
I really just have so many thoughts on the trailer but I will stay topical and only mention this one for now. I'm sure within the next 24 hours this subforum is going to be hopping with all sorts of speculation threads, so I'm excited to see where the discussion leads. I AM SO HYPED FOR SPLA2N.Jump is now the B button.
No news on beakons.
Booyah and "come on" (now changed to "this way") are still there. When the map is off, the d-pad functions as a way to superjump to allies. When the map is on, it's used for the voice lines.
