Well, there are a few things that bother me with the game, and I know it's in early stages and that it is understood that things need to be buffed out and all, but just a few suggestions.

One, I think it would be nice to have some way of being a medic, so you could heal teammates that are on the field.

A second, the chat text needs to be bigger or have better colors. Possible have a semi-transparent black box that the text will appear on top of, so it's not entirely in the way, and you can actually read the near-white text on a map where everything is white or pastel type colors.

Now this here probably has something to do with how the engine runs or how the game renders, I don't really know how all of that works in this game, but I find the way that the entire geometry of the map sways and distorts when you pan with the mouse. It gets dizzying, and makes it really hard to navigate and pick off targets, and even interferes with building.

Another problem I see with the game, is when you spawn, a lot of maps have you way up on top of some structure. That's fine for the first few times, but it kinda gets old dieing and then having to walk all the way down and loos health because of ledges that are a bit too high. Maybe later there could be an update that would implement parachutes? Maybe via a map pick-up that could be placed on top of tall areas?

Just a few things that I think could really help the game, thanks to whoever takes the time to read this, I appreciate it!

Please Ben if you are reading this could you add the use of microphones in the game. I understand that your agenda is very buys but, having to to type in the heat of a war is hard if you want to give the coordinates of the enemy. So please I think all, if not most, players would agree that the use of microphones would be nice. Thank you for reading.

Hey, I'd like to be able to type in Greek (for example) to my fellow Greek people as many people that speak other languages would like to write in their native scripts and alphabets.
I've even noticed that Latin is not complete in the current font, with extended Latin (dotted letters and stuff) not showing up correctly. This seriously annoys a lot of people.

The following recommendations cover practically all the alphabets that will be used in this game. They are all fully free to use, all of them being licensed under the GPL. Also, my selections are all TrueType fonts as I know OpenType fonts can cause all sorts of problems and may not work "out of the box"

I'd recommend the "Liberation" fonts. They're quite small and look like Arial, but sexier. I've made a zip of them in the link below so you don't have to download a special decompression program.

GNU FreeFonts are a GNU project that covers almost EVERY script in THE WORLD. Seriously, the amount of people that have contributed to this is enormous and it's paid off. It even covers N'Ko of a few tiny African countries in which most people cannot write!

If you'd like a terminal-style font, try this one; it's called GNU Unifont and it really works well as a terminal font as well. Might fit in with the atmosphere of AoS, I suppose. It is also small and pretty easy to read.

And that's all! Please implement support for other language in the chat!!!

Have you ever hit the Y key and it's supposed to be "Team Chat". Well what ends up happening is that it appears in everyones chat area. It's not much of a team chat and more of a "get your username and text in your team color" chat. I think it should be localized to your team. This way you can plan secret attacks against the other team.

I don't know. What do you think?
