Simple thing
At the end of the game if someone posts it will get overwriten by "xy player disconnected" it needs scrolling thingy or something really.
Its not big thing
Few lines of code
Thank you in advance

+1 to this. I had the HUD glitch so couldn't see chat and there was this one guy firing one ppc after another and not overheating, was looking forward to seeing what was said but alas no scroll.

The text chat in this game sucks.
1 - Team chat needs to be separated from all other messages, inculding the global chat where you can talk to the other team.
1a - an option to separate them or keep together
1b - an option to fade it out, how many seconds, never fade out
1c - size the text
1d - show more than 8 lines, 8 doesn't seem to be enough (see 1c). Smaller text should show more lines
1e - show/hide team, lance, team leader
1f - ability to scroll
1g - logged to a text file for later review with time stamps in My Documents

2 - damage info, kills, disconnects should float up somwhere else, smaller text size
2a - a toggle to show them or hide them
2b - an option to fade out or not, how many seconds, size the text
2c - logged to a text file, not the same as the chat channels in 1 above. Different folder in My Documents

On a side note, but related to the social aspect. There needs to be a way of adding a contact in a match. On the window opened by TAB or the map, since it also lists the team and there is a cursor there.
Should be able to click on someones name in the chat as well, add them as a contact from there.
- an option to accept messages from people not in your contacts list or not accept messages

There should be a last battle report after exiting a match on your Home page similar to the one you get at the end of a match.. List of peoples names, etc, ability to add them as contacts or send a message.

After all this time you would think the in game chat would be fixed. But here we are with no good control over the chat screen. We need to have control over the chat box, like the always on option, font size, color and the other basics you would find in other games. Also a waiting room chat would be great so new players can get info and we can chat with other players when changing up stuff before another match.
