awesome update as always!

When will the forums be back up? It is annoying there is no way to discuss anything with other players or the team.

You should really check your facts Podcast17. Firearms:Source released their player models LAST MONTH.

There are no more CSS placeholder models. I hope you amend this fact in your next podcast.

Is there a manual somewhere for Neotokyo?

That makes sense, but the game does little to tell you that. I don't think in a few hours of play, I ever received that tip box.

This game needs a manual.

I don't see how that is stupid at all. Rounds are five minutes. If you die early, you have about 2-4 minutes of doing something. It's faster to drop the serve and join another than to let the round play out sometimes.

Simple things like FPS not only make spectating more interesting, they also help players understand the game more as they can see what more experienced players are doing and then learn from them.

The ability to see friendly team indicators is almost a must in this game; with the skins and models being very similar, the ability to cloak, and the multiple special vision modes each class has, it is very hard to tell team mates apart. What is worse, the friendly indicator is only displayed all the time if you join a squad. Why? What is wrong with having it up all the time? Also, what are the point of squads? The game never really explains it. Is there a reason I want to be in a squad other than the ability to always have the friendly team indicator on? It wouldn't be bad if everyone was on a squad, but this isn't always the case. This dose though seem like a problem that would solve itself as the community understands the mod more, but it seems like an arbartiry barrier players must past.

Another point of the game that really irks me is the support classes heat vision? It seems it dosen't work against players who go stealth, which is odd, because would would assume stealth wouldn't also hide your heat source. Maybe it isn't really IR vision, but I wouldn't know because the game only says to use it to see though smoke, which gives an IR outline.

Spectating is boring. You can only do an over the shoulder view, and only your team. Will first person spectating be added in later? You also can't see anyone's health, which seems archaic.

Lack of weapon descriptions. Other than the shotguns, sniper rife and MG, all the weapons feel pretty much the same. Does one weapon do more damage than the other? Does one have a higher ROF? More penetration? It would be nice if when you hovered your mouse over each weapon you could see some stats about it or something. Or some document somewhere that describes the characteristics of each weapons. This seems compounded when the K;D display, doesn't display what weapon killed you.
