UF getting fixed needs to be a priority.

Oh yeah of course, for some reason I neverremember what this acronym means...
IMHO, what needs fixing in priority, is the game lobby map download links broken with the new version of unknown-files.
New players shouldn't be "loled" at when they ask how to get the map ( they ask because the link doesn't work), then are told to click on the said link to get the map!

Also, couldn't the maps be shown in their relative shape? I had quite a surprise first (and last!

) time playing speed metal...

he means "like the maps being shown in their relative shape" ie minimap is not always square

Yes, but also and especially on the "battle window" in the TASClient. Maps are always shown as squares, and I find really annoying trying to imagine what the map will actually look like in the game.
Same problem in SpringSP.

Hover the mouse over the minimap to view the XxY of the map. Then maybe if your smart enough, you can work out if the map is long, tall, square.

Yes, I know about that. Still, it's annoying.

How about packing spring with mostmaps&mods an tell the world it is a leaked, stolen version ripped right from the devs server. People will take it no matter what- hell people downloaded shity stalker, doom and hl2 betas just to take a glimpse.

Me is for advertising by pretended crime...

We would have to find a way to spread it without compromising a hosting server -__-

Do not play this, it's pure flame wars and even more flame wars.

Did I say flame wars?

Oh right, forgot it, it's pure "I pwn! Everyone else = noob"
