<div class="IPBDescription">and it is...</div>A game timer! A game timer would be useful to have back in the game. It will help commanders time expansions and (hopefully) help teams hurry up to the end the game when its dragging on past an hour.

That's it, I miss the old game timer from NS1. Hopefully it can sneak its way into a build soon.

    There are a lot of small things that are needed :)

    <b>My two favs are:</b>
    Mental sanity mute button
    HUD: Who said that? WHO THE F SAID THAT!

    A timer would be great but would even be better if a vote to extend time would come up like the amxx vote system. That way you wouldn't be cut short if you had a strategic master plan under way and needed that extra 15 minutes to complete. Implementation of this would most likely end people dropping out from stalemates and provide an overall push, might i add it would also put a strain on the good old "turtle for resources" scenario.

    I don't think he means a time limit. He just means a counter that shows the total game time.

    I'd also like to see the name of the server you are currently on appear at the top of the scoreboard.

    A little bitty thing I loved from NS1 was random songs being played at the end of the round and then a huge party with the winning team jumping up and down int he spawn (losers were invited too). Insta nerd party wooo!

    ^ This, and also the server name on scoreboard would be helpful.

    Hmmm... a timer would be nice as the tiebreaking element in clan matches. If a winner is needed the team that needed a shorter time to defeat the other team could be considered winner.

    Or if you don't like it, the team that needed the shorter time gets to choose the side for the tiebrake round which would be usually the side both teams have won as - that way having the better chance to win the match.

    There was a game timer in the alpha build or someting, don't know why it was removed.
    I remember using it a lot to check travel times in my map.

    The first rule of the Rave Room is, you don't talk about the Rave Room.
