  1. Servers should go back to forced map rotation, so we actually get to experience more than 3-5 maps in a session. 

    I know people have put alot of work into the maps and its a shame when the majority of people don't experience it because a few regulars only like 2 maps.

  2. I have always hated that "I'm in position!" is tied to ctrl + 9. THAT'S NOT EASY TO PRESS WHEN YOU NEED TO LET THE TEAM KNOW "I got this guys, stop freaking out".

     

    Cuz in the course of trying to say "I'm in position", and ward off the enemy & disarm some c4... you might no longer be "in position" ... xD

  3. Some good additions:

    "I need a ride!" or "I need a pickup!" (with location tag)

    "Need evac!" (with location tag)

    "Spread out!" or "Scatter!"

    "Behind you!"

     

    The only ones I use seriously are "I need repairs" "Move out", "Fall Back" "Take Cover" "Return to Base"

    all others are covered by Q Spotting.

  4. Wait really? I've practiced it myself in matches.

    After the mine vote ban, you simply put up another mine ban vote (it says the person is mine banned again, but they are actually unbanned)

     

    EDIT: just doulbed checked. Voting the same person to be mine banned again gives the text "Your mine ban was lifted".

    how's the weather? ;) I guess it's still massive killer hurricane season D:

     

    It's quite wonderful most days. If you like massive thunderstorms most days.

    secretly In the back of everyones mind everyone wants a damn good K/D so they can think and be like, "ya I did pretty good this round!"

    it's psychological and it's satisfying.  

    No so secretly, i want all the points, all the Kills, all the stats. I wanna be MVP for both teams.

    .rank and !rank should be the only means of broadcasting your individual k/d.

    The scoreboard should reflect how useful a player is to their team by not individually persecuting players with information which doesn't necessarily matter for the style of gameplay.

    I.e. Make the scoreboard reflect the MVP stats better. 

    Vehicle and infantry kills = Come under one stat. 

    Building damage and harvester damage = Come under one stat.

    Building, vehicle and infantry repairs = Come under one stat.

    Benefit to team "ratio" = Total team score divided by your own score, e.g. 22,156÷3,456 = 6.41

    At the top of the scoreboard by total score for GDI/Nod = Total Kills (infantry only) / Total Deaths (Infantry only) - A combined stat of all teams' kills and deaths.

    These are relevant scores which will empower a team more than the current archaic stats.

    Exactly.

     

    I care very little about K/D. I think my KD is something like +1.5. But my ranking on CT/globally is high, because I play the game as intended.

    I'll be organizing a rush and leading it (being first to die many times lol), or out healing tanks or even charging a vehicle into an enemy rush, knowing I will die, but at least disrupting the incoming attack. =D

     

    But I do understand the value of a high KD player.

    I think basically all roles on the team necessary, just some more obvious than others (a sniper getting 100+ kills is more obvious then some dude healing a building the entire game)

  8. Exactly. I see new players barely knowing what to do. Sometimes not even knowing that the MCT will heal the building faster.

    Mining is another issue of course.

     

    But anyways that's getting off topic.

     

    I think voice has the potential to increase team play, but unless it's basically forced, usage probably wouldn't be much higher than it is currently.
