One person can easily make a difference, whether it's a good one or not, they could indeed ruin caps or carry. The solution would be have new players join the losing team, because even with your proposed alpha-beta-beta solution one team can still hold a one player lead. Even so, nobody has...

Yes, exactly like that. I'll make a list sometime of what I had in mind, but yeah, I really think tips like that can go a long way. We can relieve Blink of the telling new players how to chat duty. Edit: To summarize and prevent anything close to a long list, and just to start off...

For new players, why not add a little tip on the loading screen? Things like how to talk, the speed required to activate Overdrive, how long warp scars last, things like that? Things that may not be obvious for a new player.

I'm against this idea. I believe it would only encourage players to try to achieve the speed, thus grabbing the flag at terribly low health and most will likely crater or easily get chased down. Players already try to kill themselves to reach 300+, let's not add more encouragement.

I would just like the option the view health as a bar instead of a %, like Tribes 2. I can't think of anything else right now.

Attempt #2 tonight or....? We can keep trying until our spirits are broken.

So Pug night attempt #1 tonight? LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN

Half Life 3 confirmed.

8 is the maximum, and spawning instantly bugs your bars by not refilling them (keeping them black). Turn on numeric health in the options settings to help yourself deal with it for now.

I did try switching teams once, it did not work.

Whenever you'd die with shield core up, or at least this is when I noticed it, you'd be unable to respawn and your player will disappear. Your reticle will still be there. I was able to throw nades and switch weapons but could not fire. I had to leave and rejoin, after which the "ghost" remained.

It is a bug.

The way I see it, Obama is stuck between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, striking Syria will lead to major issues that quite frankly I don't think the U.S would be able to handle well. As shaska said, we will most likely lose since it will lead to war (WWIII?). On the other hand, doing...

I would actually prefer if it took energy but absorbed more damage as well. It was changed from this, though, so I doubt it'll be reverted. What I want aside, I don't see it not consuming a resource as a big problem. With shield core chasing nerfed, I think it's pretty well balanced. Honestly...

The new hud is too sexy to be changed. And 1.4 made all old huds incompatible and will not work. You can try contacting its author to see if they can update it. You could say the new hud has a monopoly on the hud industry.
