Topaz walked on his way. He had seen who he was looking for and walked along sharply. Too sharply. He walked up to the man, a medium-sized person with a crisp blonde crew cut, but before he could make physical contact, the man looked up. Immediately, his eyes met “Topaz”'s. Just in time, the turned away from the club he had been lurking outside, and sprinted into the night."

Iamanoob :oops:

What's wrong with it?

Selena, look up at what I said. There was nothing constructive. Basically, all you said in your post was an elaborate of saying "This is boring, I hate it.". That type of criticism is rarely accepted by authors.

CP rocks. New graphics - I hope we can get used to them.

I think we should take it one step at a time. And I think that in-game profiles would be the next step towards that. Let's have profiles before we go for friends lists, voice chat, clans, etc. They all are great things, but profiles should be first. The only problem is that they will take up a heck of a lotta space, and unless Tanki have a lot more memory than they once had it's going to be the Hall of Fame all over again. An achievement system might be able to be implemented before profiles, although some part of me suspects Tanki will be going for profiles before achievements. I'm not sure though. Old models is a must, if they have enough space to accommodate it. I am guessing that Tanki are trying to get everyone used to the new models, and then bring in the old models again after people have warmed to the new models. This would ensure that the new models are actually played. New tanks and weapons: The weapon rebalancing will have to be first before we think about new guns and tanks. As for new paints, well I guess we could have them. As for game modes, I would like to see new game-modes. All of the ones you suggest, however, would not tickle my fancy.

Very gutted we can't choose between old and new. Hope old comes back as an option.

Unfortunately, that will only come with the weapon rebalancing, which will not happen for a long time. It isn't true. :(

I guess that this is the right place to post Tanki-related memes, eh?

Well, I've just had a try of CP in the test server, and this is what I have found: -The (seemingly) random respawn points are good. They aren't completely random, but at least you can respawn close to the opposition base. -The graphic of the CP points are amazing. -One person can make more of a difference than I was expecting, although still nothing like in CTF. -Takeovers actually aren't completely unlikely. It is not too hard for one team to control all the points. -Shafts are pathetic in CP. -A Clan war in CP would not be as stupid as I first thought. It's a good battle of wits.

Mary looks ugly :( On a serious note, CP is awesome, and the graphics are average. I don't like the shot graphics, nor explosions.. the props are great. The tanks and weapons are ok, except the amount of grey makes the paints look ugly. Random respawns in CP, however, and the animations and everything of CP, makes that CP will certainly be an awesome game mode. Not too convinced by everything else though.

Make the funds and the avatars only given out to the top 3 on the winning team in team games (except parkour, for obvious reasons). This will: a) Enable the avatar only to be given out to the best of the best, rather than the common commodity it currently is b) Bring circumstances where the leading team is bickering with each other over position, rather than working together to win, making comebacks for the losing team easier to occur c) Make sure that the game is not "decided in the first ten minutes"

:oops: Oops, I forgot about videos... maybe next time.

Of course they can. The whole purpose of these graphics is to reduce lag. The new graphics are far simpler than the old graphics and will be able to run faster on weaker CPUs as a result.

That doesn't actively sabotage the team play though, does it? It's more "passive sabotage", which does not hamper a team as much as active sabotage does.

There won't be mults, you mean? That's one aspect of CP that I didn't touch on - CP is a lot harder to mult in. I guess that would be a really good thing about CP.

^Sorry 'bout that. I prefer to write my articles without checking the forum, you see (b/c the forum distracts me) and Beareau wasn't in my dictionary.

For clans in the English and German sections of the forum. It doesn't matter what language they speak, although I guess that they must have one person who can speak English to be able to discuss with the championship organisers.

Correct, that is "all" you need to do. You also need to be holding those point bases yourself, of course, if they are neutralized. However, it's not as easy as it sounds!

Awesome job, I think this is the best so far! P.S. Just to let all of you know, Tommy didn't design this. :P He's not that epic yet.

To the two above: I guess that that's the point. A paint with either of those protections would be overpowered.
