Along with the "Aliens win!", "Marines lose!" etc. graphics and music, a nice explanation (not hidden in text chat like the current concede message) would help players. Basically...

All Alien Hives have been destroyed.
All Marine Command Stations have been destroyed.
Alien team has conceded.
Marine team has conceded.
Marine team is dead and has no working Infantry Portals.
Too many players have left the Alien team.
Too many players have left the Marine team.

(Did I forget something?)

I've seen a lot of confused new players at the end of games. You shouldn't have to figure out why a game is over, it should tell you :)

    "you have too many Onos" :P

    All joking aside, more info and scoreboard boasting powers in the RR might be nice

    Good Idea, I agree.
    I actually would split "Marine team is dead and has no working Infantry Portals." to this:
    -Marine team is dead and has no infantry portals left.
    -Marine team is dead and their infantry portals are unpowered/unavailable.
    If you go for details, heres more of them :D

    Nice idea. It seems like everytime **** Wins pops up on the screen I hear "wait what? okay..." because some poor guy has no idea how the game ended.

    This!
    I am getting seriosly pissed with rage quiting commander.
    Fine,if you cant take it leave,but please dont make that decision for me and the rest of the team!
    I have seen situation in which the commander raged and sold everything considering we still had 2 bases,all upgrades and 4 extractors(we just lost 2 engagments in a row and he couldnt take it).

    That's pretty annoying. Though that agrassive of an action i haven't seen ingame. I think that instance is pretty rare. But i get the feeling. Try this "Marine commander Sold Base. Good decision 1) Totaly not cool 2). If 2) let him watch a commander tutorial before he can use the command seat again.

    Good idea. Sounds simple enough, but i think this is a multi person job that could take up alot of time :(
