    This is what I want to here from the Voice Commands:
    "Landing site selected. Commander en route."
    "Impact in [insert countdown]."
    "Commander has landed."

    But looking spiffy, really spiffy.

    Damn, this is really cool. Finally it looks like the commander comes from somewhere else instead of just chilling idle on the planet till its time for a battle.

    Was commander selected automatically, or you used a hotkey? That would be a nice quality of life addition.

    Selected automatically.

    If I remember correctly, it does that automatically in the live build.

    The new spawn animation looks awesome!
    Don't really have much more to say, other than well done Uber with that animation.

    I want to see a few people spawning at the same time next to each other. Even across the map, I think it would look amazeballs :D

    It was always a work in progress.

    Hey, at least it is an example of something they swore would work and now does.

    We have to set up and record something on teamspeak later. Then hand it to Geers for gif-making purposes.

    Better yet, go spectator and watch 10 different teams spawn in on the same point with "spawn anywhere".
    See who wins.

    I'm not sure if I like that weird purple circle... thing that shows up, honestly. I guess it's supposed to be a force-field? Maybe if it was a little translucent.

    Also it'd be really cool if there was a small impact-site crater. Not enough to destroy surrounding metal spots just a little crater to show why that explosion was so huge.
    Also scorch-marks. Looooooooots of scorch marks.

    This is one of the many "polish" type features you'll see in the 1.0 release. Also, spawn anywhere! CRAZY!

    I still desire an awesome cinematic camera animation of epicness that shows your commander coming in from space and landing, and then pans up to your standard game view. :)
