Cobo: I'm just going to put your suggestions as a vote for the new map format, since that's basically what's required to do all that.
nightryder: I like the idea of a kill cam. It might be a challenge to implement it without breaking a bunch of stuff, but I think it has some interesting potential. What would you want in the new menu?
oli887: Map packs are already available from the files page. I'm not sure what you mean by the "channels" request. A new loading image has already been made for build 17. Good call on the edit field thing. It was never really intended to require the mouse to hover over it, but I had to move on. It's always kind of bugged me the way it is and I need to go back and fix it at some point.
