I'm putting in another vote for more high-res textures.  Though I must say, the game looks pretty decent as it is running at 1600x1200 with 16x AF and 4x AA.

As for installing Vista: I would recommend against it, if you do a lot of gaming (which I do).  I ran benchmarks in numerous games in Vista and XP and found that the performance hit is a lot greater than you might expect.  For example, I averaged 47 fps in Prey with the Guru3D benchmark in Vista, while in XP I averaged 69 fps.  This might have been due to the fact that drivers for Vista are still crap (at least for nVidia, can't say for ATI).

How about something to limit in-game bind spamming?

OMG
OMG
OMG
OMG...

Maybe also an option to disallow eliminated players from communicating with teammates still in the game? I.e. eliminated players could chat with each other but their text would not be visible to those playing.

Both of these are already implemented into the game.

The bind spamming is floodprotect and it should be set to 1. When enabled a person should only be able to spam about 4 lines.

I believe the dead talking to the living is deadtalk. I'm not positive about this part but if it is set to 0 the dead can only talk to the other dead. And if it is set to 1 the dead can talk to the alive.

I have a quick question.

If a new map format was implemented would we convert all the old maps to the new format or have two formats for maps.

Better AI!  (aka better bots)

Better pathing/jumping/different skill levels.  You catch my drift.

use of the left and right mouse wheel control on the new mice

Handy for switching between left and right gun holding

Client-side auto end-game scoreboard screenshot

Global-login based bans

and i didnt see this but, there should be someway to sort out all the servers.  Just something so you dont have to scroll through 100 servers until you find one with people.  Maybe make a tab for players and ping.

You could use Jitspoe's serverbrowser for this.

I like knack's idea about the mouse thing, but also for a mouse that scrolls up and down.

Another idea I have is that you would be able to create how your character looks. Kinda like the sims 2 game? It might be too much work, but you might be able to make it so that you can download new clothes, like shirts and pants.

I think that this has been talked about before and the outcome was that it is not happening. I also believe that it was considered cheating because you can make yourself harder to see for the other team, which obviously is an unfair advantage.

If I am wrong about the above please correct me.

You have the thing to where you scroll the mouse up to switch your gun to the right or left and if you scroll the mouse wheel down, then it changes the oppisite direction that the scrolling up does?

Let me see if I got this, if you scroll up, the gun goes to left handed, down to right (more or less)?
