There's something I really think we should get the full community's opinion on. Looking at the b4a changelog, it mentions planning for new gametypes and such. It doesn't seem to be in much more than a preparatory state right now, and it seems to fall more on the mappers than the coders, but there's an issue it brings up for me, and I'd like to know if it brings up the same issue for others.
Poll requested is as follows:
What do you believe should be dev's highest priority at this stage?
Fixing and <i>improving</i> the original gametype
-or-
Making new gametypes
A couple notes: I put "improving" in italics because it's a key part of where the community may or may not be split. Pretty much everybody wants to see it fixed obviously, so that it works the way it's supposed to in its current state. But, as evidenced by the ever-active S&I forum, many people believe that there are ways the game could be better, whether in terms of aesthetics, tech stuff, or gameplay mechanics. What I'm asking here is whether the users at large believe it's more important to continue refining that, or to begin crafting new things.
This poll doesn't take Combat into consideration. You can't make that new gametype, as it's already made, and it's new enough that it's going to continue to be patched and refined for a long while yet, regardless of what else the devs are doing at the moment.
Forgive me if I haven't put this in the proper place, or if I should've PMed it to an admin, as I have no earthly idea what to do with such things. I don't think I've ever seen one before.

Do you prefer playing as Marines or Aliens?
If I were to take a guess Id say more people prefer Marines.
My apologise for being slightly off topic.
In reply to the orignial post, yes you should have PM'd an admin, and I Id vote for developing the current game further.
