Feature Request

[-=NC=-Larva]

When using the in-game chat or BF2CC to warn a player, they hardly ever see it because it's extremely challenging to make it prominent enough for the recipient to notice. Yes, this may be because they are a noob, non-observant, too busy breaking a rule to notice or a comination of all 3.

Bottom line: it would be nice to have the recipient's entire screen flash red while the warning text is highlighted VERY prominently. An audio alert to accompany the warning would help. It would save admins the trouble of getting knifed in the back while they waste time warning a player 4 times before finally having to kick them to get their attention.

It's not an official bug, but lackluster warning text is a nuisance. Are there any game server admins out there who would appreciate this simple chat-color enhancement?

I'd appreciate it.

Re: Feature Request

OK, this one doesn't even affect gameplay, but it'd be nice if it wasn't much work:

do NOT pop up a message from EA to download a booster pack, expansion pack, or patch if the user already has it installed?

Re: Feature Request

Back to my original point: it'd be nice to be able to message everyone on the server telling them some like "We have to reboot... come back in 5 minutes" or something. In other words, it'd be nice to be able to grab everyone's attention, whether you're warning them about breaking rules or about getting disconnected for a few minutes.
