Hi!
I have a suggestion for some changes regarding the chat interface, which i think is pretty important. First of all, remove the "blabla is connecting....blabla connected" etc. messages, or at least put them in another corner and more discret, because its very annoying and quit unnessesary. Its the chat/communication that is the intresting messages. It would also have been nice to set a key for all respective channels, instead of browse through the channels.
Another suggestion i have may be more sophisticated, but a new feature in Arma, that would be very cool and useful. A simple Commander system for gametypes like CTI and Hold. For example, 1-5 people sitting in a tent or something:) with a map together with some tools to make it easier to give order, instructions, support etc. And squadleaders are only allowed to communicate with the commander(s). Could make some more structur and less chaos, when playing lots of players on a server.
Update/EDIT: More suggetions for improvement:
- Even though difficulty is set to Veteran(which often means that you can't see the name of player when aiming at them), make it possible to see the name of those around you, like a 5-10m radius. Annoying not to know who's around you!
- A list of all players devided in their respective in-game group/squad. The groupleader and groupname(/the groups task) should also be shown clearly, combine with what vehicle they are controlling/sitting in
- Make it possible to send private-messages to individual players.
The above suggetions I came up with when playing large CO-OP and Hold missions. Without the above suggetions it is almost impossible to complete a mission nice, smoothly or awesome.
