2 obivious ones (chat and new game)

Postby Nutter » Fri Sep 19, 2008 4:08 pm

These are what the reviews noted so I gues that would make them an obvious place to start.

Chat before game
It sounds weird that you can't chat to people before entering a game. Perhaps have a sort of irc channel before you even joined a server so you could hear if anybody is up for a game or domination / capture the statue ect. It would create a of meeting place for people.

Rematch after game ends / select new map
Another would be the option to replay a map with the same opponent after it ends (perhaps swapping starting positions). It would be nice to also have the option to select a new map / type of game after a map ends.

Definitely! Game lobby without chat is weird, you can't ask to change settings, you can't say hello. You don't seem to be able to kick (or ask someone to leave), or add a password so you can't organise a game. Also a server-lobby chat would be very useful.

This seems odd since Defcon had most of this stuff!

Yeah I'm for these as well, password and pre game chat, also liked the way in Defcon you could still browse the server listings. which was handy sometimes when nobody was joining your game but they where in another other server.

But I much prefer shooting my firends and the ability to password game would be greatly appretitated

Ability to remap basic controls (move forwards backwards etc) ingame
The ability to select/create additional "input/keyboards" like control override schemes would be great. I don't use WSAD, never have and never will. ASQE all the way!

Don't ask...

No really, don't.

Also, lobby chat, passwords, server name, return to lobby post match, etc. Also better ingame chat (actually having a movable cursor and having copy and paste work might be nice).

I can throw you together an ASQE alternative, if you wish. :P

Server passwords and kicking in game lobby.

Please.

It's not as exciting as she makes it out to be. ;)

"I want to use four fingers and not have to move my middle finger so much" sounds the most plausible. And boring.

At no real stretch, "two" in place of "four"

Eh, I'd like to see this pre-game chat, but then, I'd like to see the pre-game full stop.

It's just blank for me.

Post in the support forum, that's clearly a bug.

Pre-game chat, no question about it. Also, make it stop not cooperating with two or more screens.
