WHAT NEXT FOR RA2?

RA2 has already proven itself to be one of the top mods for Quake2. There are lots of servers running it, lots of people playing it, and lots of new RA2 competitions starting up. crt recently stated that he would be releasing a new version of RA2 after the source code for 3.17 was released. What is gonna be in this new version? Well, I dont know. Let me tell you the one thing I would like to see in there.

IMO, The  most important thing we need in this new version is a competition mode. Some way of making a specific arena or a whole map tournement/clan war ready. If anyone has had a clan vs clan match in RA2 it can be difficult. The scoring is hard  to keep track of,  unless it is private server you can't keep other people from joining, etc.

Also, as with most good competition mods it needs to give the players the ability to vote on a map change. It should also allow for clans to play team games in their clan skin, not just the red and blue currently used.

I think creating a version of RA2 that is ready for tournement play will elevate the already great and popular mod to new heights.

What else does RA2 need? The only other thing I think it needs is more cool maps (hehe like the ones at MAHQ). Doh!! I was doing good until tht shameless plug =)
