Eavesdrop on Server 2
Eavesdrop is off on Server 2 for the time being. I tested this last night and it didn't crash the server. Sorry for not letting folks know in advance.
This perk was really getting in the way of team cohesion and functionality on a couple of the maps. If I could limit it to one player per team I would leave it in. Unfortunately, in ranked mode, we can only turn perks on or off with the current mod functionality and have no control over the weps available.
Folks opinions on this are welcome.

Re: Eavesdrop on Server 2
I agree with you Drona. Although it's nice to be able to overhear enemy communications, its a supreme PITA to try and coordinate your teams efforts via text comms to avoid giving away your plans. I can't count how many times I have been killed because I was typing.

Yes I agree..... I have been shot several times trying to stop and type. Sweet now I can put another perk in place of this one.

Re: Eavesdrop on Server 2
Good job! I was starting to think eaves was a huge barrier to good teamwork, and it's good to see it gone.
Although with the amount of people on the server these days, sometimes text is the only way to get your message across without someone else talking over you!
When there are over 7 or 8 people on a team, cross-talk becomes really hard to control
Can I suggest raising the time limit? There were times last night when, after Bronco had explained to 10 different people what they'd all be doing, and all 10 had a little dialog to clarify aspects, we were already half way through our time before we got out of spawn*

Balfa that is something Bronco will have to work on..... he is just a longwinded fella.

Re: Eavesdrop on Server 2
Actually, I don't think Bronco needs to work on anything. I think that quite a few players (TG and pubs alike) need to stop running out of the attackers spawn with statements like, "I am going to snipe over there", "I will distract them", or even better yet, just running off with no comms. No-one should be leaving spawn without orders from the SL.
Back on topic:
I am, so far, happy with Eavesdrop off. Now on to those pesky snipers!
