I've been <strike>playing</strike> trying Dystopia for a couple of weeks now and something that really annoys me is that there is no chat box like in Css or TF2. If you miss someone's message while in combat, you have to open the console and search what have been said between dozens of death messages, warning messages etc. This all is written in white text colour and in the same font and you can spend quite a while reading it while being knifed.
So, something i would like to see in Ns2 is a console where the different types of messages are of different colors or at least the chat messages should be written in the team color (orange=aliens, blue=marines). Text that has been written by the commander could be highlighted in some way.
Ãt would be also handy if it would be possible to hide certain sorts of messages by deselecting them via check boxes.
And finally a chat box like in tf2 would be helpful too.

Also, comms should have different colored text/voice chat so you can tell it's that dude in the sky talking to you and you should pay attention.
