awesome haxball update

Hi!
Couldn't find the journal about it here, so I'm asking - what do you think about new update? I think it's fantastic. Apart from rounded corners, longer goals, a small pitch and halo around your player there is something special. that special thing is a big pitch.

From my recent experience, 6v6 in FFA environment is too crowded (but perhaps it could do well in rational gameplay coming from two teams?), so I think 5v5 is the best for that pitch. Anyways, what things are still missing for haxball to become haxball.pro? :)

My guess would be:
- dedicated servers (impossible) or some other way to make a room and other players independent from host's lags, etc.
- mute (kick is already there)
- lock & unlock (when teams are unlocked, spectators should be able to join teams)
- referee (host should be able to drop a player to spectator mode and forcelock and forceunlock)
- some stats? like... 1.who scored (OGs too), 2.assists, 3.number of touches (like number of passes in real football), etc.

:D a better login system would be nice. :D
go play table hockey lmfao
looks good :D although i don't know what this halo is for. should it make somethign easier or what am i missing here?
i thought it's obvious :D it simply helps you know which balloon is actually you. To quote basro, the maker of the game, "he who has never lost track of his own player, cast the first rock" :).

Well if people really can't tell which ball is them, it might be useful :')

you are ubermensch, or you have never tried 5v5 with moronic people running in random directions :D
Parent
You've got a point there, but i rarely play 5v5. It's just complete chaos, no fun :[.
Parent
at the classic dimensions pitch anything over 3v3 is a total chaos. i'm talking about 5v5 at large pitch (it came with new update, check it out).
Parent
Yeah, i've got to try it out with more players, can be fun :).

pitch size sucks imo, would be pure fun if the rounded were in normal size imo..
