The XP crediting and costs need to be reworked too btw. Even with VIP it is way to difficult to raise enough XP to master any classes. Not saying to make it easy, but a little more balanced. Either bring down the costs or increase the amount of XP you are credited. Other than that, I'm loving the changes and updates to the games. Two thumbs up to HiRez. 1. The 15 sec. delay is there for a reason. Before, it could be exploited so that players were able to spam the s**t out of the flag stand with granades. 2. This thing about PTH you mentioned ... try not pugging for once and find a team to co-work your way to victory instead. 3. "~" brings previous chat history, even from other matches. The text will overcrowd the screen if it stays too long. Although, an option to change delay would be nice. On the patch topic. New maps and gamemode are always welcomed. Those guys are really working hard to make this game as good as possible so give them some credit. 1. You'd need like 3-5 people doing NOTHING but spamming their nades and running back and forth between the inventory station and the flag in order for this "exploit" to work. Further, the strategy is crippled by destroying the team's generator, destroying the mobile inventory station if one is being used, putting 1 heavy down at the inv station blasting the nade spammers as they come in, calling in strikes before the flag capper comes through, and probably many more creative ways. 2. This game will fail if not for people playing in random games here or there when they have time to play. It's not a good idea for hirez to make decisions about game balance based on the 10% of players who are competitive. 3. ~ also blocks out a bunch of the screen. Doesn't it also stop you from controlling your character while the console is open? x2 Some dev SHOULD REALLY read this! It's very true! Keep in mind that most of the people, will spend 1-2h a day, make a few matches ... but it will be with a PUG 90% of the time. The in-game reports and commands are good, but still can't be compared to people who are on voice chat together (vent/ts/skype). Furthermore, there is no Clan/Guild interface in the game, hence making an "organized team" even more difficult. Most of these maps are 10+ people. You see where this is going, right? So for God's sake, please Don't make the game to be only PTH ski fest ...

DMB+FW and SH, SEN+either rifle, INF+CC & SH on the flagstand, mines, claymores, shrikes, 2 Arx stickies, beowulfs, 1 hit from xbow/Hxbow/SLD SF/BRT SF/mortar/thumper/discnade/most grenades and 2 seconds of fire from basically any CG-equivalent will counter PTH's
People just need to defend the flag and not the generator
