I use it in supcom and would welcome it in NS2 but I too see it having little benefit if its just a "map". Add some tactical information like all the players followed by their health/ammo and we'd be getting somewhere as this would provide extra inf…

Vote conceding is fine, just cause you got some twits giving up too fast doesn't mean it's broken.

How does this apply to a team based game? You could look high or low but you won't be beating a team that has full map control. … -

It's been tried before and it simply didn't work out. Mostly because attempting to teleport like in the above vid during actual fast paced combat is incredibly unpredictable and confusing.

Can you blame them? Communication is key to victory, I've seen less skilled players win a clearly stacked game on team-work alone. It's rare, but it does happen.

You're telling me you can get the average pubbie to unite behind "exploiting" a voting system while we can't even get them to listen half the time
Could we get an update please?
Doesn't work well in FPS, losing control of your character and being unable to do anything about it is pretty annoying. NS1 had devour which basically allowed the onos to eat a marine. The player would be stuck inside the onos until he was slowly de…Mines are kinda annoying as is. I understand why they are there but there not exactly fun to die by. Granted these mines you're suggesting are a lot less lethal. Screen obstruction is something I really hate though.
Personally I'd rather…When the lerk is walking.(Quote)
That will always be present unless you remove a min % limitation altogether. Still, edge case scenario and all that. Not going into this again.
Servers without active admins do need some way to handle problems, thus voting.Now that's an awesome way to practice your aim. Can't wait to give this a proper go.(Quote)
Use Ping Plotter to properly debug your line.You see turrets going up 2 minutes into the game while sitting on 2 resource towers, what do?
1. Praise the commander for his glorious insight.
2. Remind the commander that now would be a good time to research the "mech".

Hah, I've been doing this for a while but only when going in for the kill. I never tried doing it constantly, it does make sense for this to work but I could swear you lose air momentum when ducked. I'll be trying this out for sure.(Quote)
A simple welder does the trick. Babblers will die before they can even get a single hit on you.
I can understand why babblers got nerfed as they were far too useful if used defensively. But they're so useless right now that I…600+ hours here and I've yet to see voting be abused like that. I've had people try to vote-kick me once or twice for "cheating" but those votes always fell through because more people voted no then yes. Never once was the vote repeated after it fel…Echo eggs doesn't seem worth the res in pubs at least. 2 res to have a single player spawn closer is a bit too expensive for my taste. I found this a better tactic when a shift could still spawn eggs as it was a lot cheaper.
I must confess I h…(Quote)
Maybe it's time we start saying the opposite of what we want them to do. Pubbies can keep their fight the powah attitude, everyone wins.

There's no reason the voting has to stay in your screen. The only downside would be a single audio cue and is that really so bad?
If you simply make the vote go away after having voted then voting would be even less intrusive…I watched the vid after you asked so I'm afraid I couldn't say. But I'm the kind of player who has his map open 50% of the time and relays information back the comm before he knows it.
In games like battlefield I'll be watching the minimap fo…Nice example except I don't have my lastpass set to remember my password so it wouldn't work Course I'm usually already logged in … Some of your suggestions are nice but really I'd keep it simple, the more hidden layers you add the more confusing it gets. If you're worried that 1 minute might make the vote last too long then simply make the vote end when everyone has voted.
The thing with a piece of paper is that anyone that gets their hands on it would instantly know all your passwords. If you keep it in your wallet and someone jacks it you're in for a world of pain. If you solely keep it at home and have some sort of…Point 1 and 2 seem like they wouldn't happen very often. Verbal abuse already happens at times and whether they are green or not usually doesn't matter much. If a team sucks it sucks, plenty whites included in there.
Point 3 seems logica…Simply put more awareness towards a vote + longer duration before the vote ends and you shouldn't have any issues spotting it.

I disagree, simply because right now a successful map vote changes the map instantly . I have no desire to switch map mid-game and thus would vote "no". This doesn't mean I don't like to play that map. Your idea is logical but has…(Quote)
How does one run the show with a public vote? You could simply disagree and vote no.
As long as there's ample time to vote and the vote has enough attention drawn to it then nobody could be rigging anything.
