The chat box is only screwy because we have kill messages enabled on our servers and the game was intended by the developers to not have these messages. Because the game itself has no kill messages, the only place we can make it be displayed is through the chat box. The only thing I could see ever happening to fix that is a) get rid of kill messages or b) INS developers allowing kill messages in the game. Neither of which I ever see happening. Kill messages are too popular to get rid of and INS developers created this game to eliminate kill messages.
Now, what would I would love to see (only because of my love of role-playing games) is a level up system similar to the ones used in CoD4 and WaW. Maybe even like FBG (though don't quote me on that I haven't ever used it and don't own CS:S). I just easily get addicted to a level up system and trying to achieve the next level. Of course, that would also completely throw the entire point of the game out of wack and I don't ever see it happening.
However, Somalian pirates would be an amazing game mode.
