Just gameplay discussions only. This will help our test teams and engineers greatly.

The headshot hitbox is HUGE! See here:

Also, the players size are too small, when you look at someone up close, the opponent's head it's just above your crosshair.

Not really a gameplay issue.. When you make changes to your key mapping, they don't seem to stick if you re-load the game.

the game play in dm with say 12v12 as one of the servers is - all i can say is spam.
but when played with a smaller amount it seems quite fluid cant wait for the better maps and warfare.

Vctf is fuuny with hover boards some nice tactics with running away on hb attatched to raptor will see how good it is when some good players join a server.

I think it wouldn't keep my key bindings because I didn't have a gamespy id at the time.. BTW, my biggest complaint about this game is the use of gamespy. Worst choice ever! Other than that, I can't really complain

I noticed this too, kind of irritating.

vCTF-Suspense is a horrible map, it could be good if you couldn't shoot base to base, a tank and sniper in one base can pretty much keep the other team pinned down in the opposite base.

Make the bridge wider in the middle and add some large obstruction, some kind of wreck or similar, makes for really poor gameplay with a totally open map like that, it's CTF-Face but without the middle hill and with tanks.

You can't read messages after the match
There are no messages telling you how you died. (You just died)

I have more comments on gameplay once I actually get to play online lol.

Your connection to the host failed

Seems like this happens with every game, every server. Can't really have a quality FPS if you can't stay connected to servers.

Both of those are crucial, also the chat promt thingy covers the width of the screen, why not make it just a small thing above your weapon bar? It looks more like a console input than a chat field.

Headshots are far too easy to get, while playing adept bots I didn't even have to try and I got 5 headshots in a row.

Playing online right now is a chore because all of the servers are listen servers with stupidly large amounts of lag, so I can't offer any detailed feedback at this time.

The shock combo is too easy to achieve, it will be ownage. Head shots too. Wall dodge is kind of nerfed, could be a bit more effective imo. Straight link beam and a really bouncy flak is appreciated. =)

I got stuck in the Scorpion on Suspension and had to suicide. I couldn't go forward, backward, boost, or exit...screenshot:
