Post here any changes you'd like to see before release, not guaranteed to get anywhere, but perhaps one of you email savvy members could hit Mike with a usefull one for once? The post doesn't necessarily apply to bugs, because obviously they'll be fixed, but actual.. stuff, thats in-game that you'd like different.
For me: Molotov, add an animation where your person whips out a match or lighter and lights it, and when they put it away have them blow out the towel or something. Right now it makes no sense to whip out a molotov, hanging from your belt that was already on fire, and that you put it back on your belt... still on fire. Same goes for Pipe Bomb, although its not automatically lit, when you light it you should be able to blow it out and then store it again... it'd be an extra touch if the wick started off from where it was last.
Second would have to be the blood decals on walls... They're bland as of now, same ones in HL2 and CS:S. Im sure this is something they're going to change anyway, but didn't have time for it when they were working on the build for QC or something. Kind of related to blood... either fix the sprites so that they disappear before hitting the ground, or make it actually appear on the ground. Right now when you see blood, it'll fall to the ground very square-ish, and disappear. Not nice.
Last for now, make it so the tone of voice and attitude differs according to the condition of the team and players. If you're about to die and you're helping someone else up who is bound to bleed to death I don't think either of them would be smiling. It'd be a nice touch considering the facial expressions already do this... I wonder if we're going to see angry Francis chuckling while helping someone... that'd be weird.
