This is where I think a Lobby of some sort (either in game or launcher) would be extremely helpful.

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.

*YES*

Yeah Henk is right. I don't know the details of Facebook algorithms either, but I do know photos increase literally and figuratively how many people see the post. I don't get why that is, but that's how it is.

Yes it is, it was played yesterday.

So squads basically. I think those are a great idea. I'll be honest I haven't played a lot of shooters, but back when I played Battlefield 2, I did like the idea of being a part of a squad. Helped make each player feel they could be useful.

This would mean i'd have to buy a mic of some sort =o

Didn't read every single reply here, but I'm liking the map so far! Personally, I feel there are already too many maps that allow for a quick rush through an Inf path directly into a building (Islands being an original example, then Mesa II, Reservoir (new) Field). I'm all for a more direct path that leads to a base, but maybe have it lead to somewhere that isn't near a building? Also, I like the idea with the giant lake that seems to serve no purpose. Adds atmosphere. What about adding Hover MRLS on the far side of the lake as a reward for traveling over there?

&& Don't forget Bios, if he's not viciously defending the base, he's most likely blowing up the other team's buildings.

What if you make it more dynamic? For example. by default. Rocket soldiers don't have EMP, but if Barracks / HON is lost, then rocket soldiers are given EMP.

I mean of course, if we had more coordination from the US playerbase, we could actually make sure to populate the servers at other times. sometimes I join and leave right away because there is only 1 other person on D=

Yeah if you're in the US (like me), servers are usually dead by nighttime. Matches are full enough during mid day/ evening though. Moreso on the weekends too.

How did that sneaky bot get in there ... ???

I get this too.

Well then I guess I was that 1 MRLS

I remember old Mesa well. from Old Ren & the orignal RenX Mesa. it always felt it was a mixed bag. It was nothing more than a mad rush to get arties and MRLS into the cave quickly and hope the splash damage would clear a path to then get a clear shot at the WF / Nod PP? (i don't remember layout). but yeah I do remember it being extra crazy for GDI because half the time MRLS were getting destroyed as they were being built because the arties had domination. And then of course everyone screamed watch out for the harvester cuz it would always get in the way... Like I said, mixed bag cuz it was stupid and chaotic but also fun some of the times =D

@poi & @jpjtyld vs 10 super bots and the bots would be unstoppable after learning a few matches

WAY TO GO CAUSING THE WHOLE COMMUNITY TO BE BANNED

oh so the crew is officially inofficial now =D

Amazing. How did you know it was him?

well I didn't see anything on the forum saying anything about it ^^

so credit to @limsup for finding this and pointing it out. I'm not sure how long this has been in the map, but its a great homage to Old Ren. its an audio clip near the Communication center. Maybe most already know about it? I had to listen to it like 10 times to understand it, but thats because it refers to some dude mocking @Aircraftkiller back in 2003 lol http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65542

used to go under the name Magi56

@poi being the "123" character now makes total sense. who else get like a 53/9 K/D run on Volcano XD. So @Arch__nemesis , I'd say its simply a case of regulars using different names.

I know alot of people were actually looking forward to this being completed. Some really creative things could come about because of a new structure like this !!
