H.D. Lovecraft

I agree 100% with you Truxa. It gets ridiculous when you're playing a tight match in Marathon and you have to press F2 every 2 minutes just to keep playing that match.

That doesn't sound fun at all though. I think gameplay outweighs realism on this one. Disabling vehicles and stealth adds an interesting gameplay option, whereas losing the HUD would just annoy people more than anything.

Something I've noticed in beta 3 for the few hours I played last night is that whenever I would buy a new character after being a hotwire/tech, the new character wouldn't have timed c4 automatically. I would have to manually go in and switch to timed. It would show proximity in it's place in the PT but nothing would show up in inventory. This is probably from the hotwire/tech's c4 slot choice carrying over for some reason I would guess.

Congrats on release.

omg omg omg

Besides the common scoreboard and map-change crashing, which for me did not improve at all from beta 1, I also get crashing when attempting to join a server for the first time after booting the game. It only crashes on highly populated servers, and only the first join. What I figured out to do to avoid it was to load an empty server first, exit it, then join the more populated one. Perhaps this is something to do with too many things to load at once and joining an empty server lessens some of the load, not sure just taking a guess at it.

I think the whole point of stealing vehicles is for the surprise advantage it gives. Oh, that's our APC, no worries. Suddenly it runs you over and a bunch of engies take out your ref. That's one of those moments that makes this game awesome I think. Especially when you're the guy driving the stolen vehicle.

Perhaps on Marathon servers the map change and restart should be disabled? I mean, changing the map kind of defeats the point of Marathon. If you don't want the tedium, you should just go play AOW. This could perhaps just be some sort of server-side decision probably.

I do like the idea of a per-round upgrade system. There could be some cool ideas that come out of something like that. Perhaps adding to the depth of the game but also keeping it intuitive.

Excellent work, I look forward to all the changes. Any word on if new maps will be added soon? I heard rumors of Complex being in this patch?

Wheres your god now? lol, didnt thought of that one! Came up with this Photoshop is still rusty, been more then 2 years since i last used it Edit: The direct link to the catsig: http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h298/ ... /siggy.jpg YESSS! Thanks dude haha!

I'll take a cat sig.

I've noticed this a bit as well. I mean, if they want to waste their time farming points there's not much we can do to stop them. I think the leaderboard is just more of a fun little sideshow than a serious affair.

There is a problem with banning certain names. Right now anyone can join with any name? What's stopping a hacker from joining with a legitimate player's name in an attempt to get them banned? I've seen this happen on three occasions already, and if bans were enforced by name, this would give hackers even more reason to muck around.

I think this is a pretty slick idea. I hate getting out for a quick repair only to realize that I was dumped on the side with tanks shooting at me.
