There are a few things that I'd love to see in games, but I've yet to see perfected. I don't think they're very hard tasks to accomplish, but I'm a regular Joe-idiot.

• Squad based gameplay

  Yes, BF2 had a great run with this, but it didn't really perfect it. Without enough squad-only commands, you were forced to wait for a commander who knew what he was doing tactics-wise and knew how to use the commander tools.

• Player customization

  I here this is coming in Insurgency Beta 2, which I'm definitely gonna download to see if it's as great as it looks. Anyways, I've seen but a few games with this in it, and their names escape me, so they must have really sucked. I like to be able to change what I look like; to make my character very personal...And not just my arsenal of weapons. A game that doesn't let you do that sucks in the first place (*COUGH* Insurgency *COUGH*)

  I remembered a few of those games. There's Halo that lets you do something like this...I'll try to find some more in my memory.

• Overview map

  Well, after I wrote that title, I realized that BF2 really perfected this one. My box can't handle BF2, though, so get cracking, HL2 mods! Yeah, you, Insurgency! I HAD HIGH HOPES! HIGH FUCKING HOPES!

Edit (02/10/08): I lied. I still haven't downloaded Insurgency Beta 2, or whatever the version is up to now. I've been way too preoccupied with coding and Team Fortress 2. More with TF2, though :P
