Don't you wish you had one of these? :)

What this nifty program does is allows you to chat with your team mate while your playing the game. You can read there minds fast and easy. All you do is click the button you want to tell your team mate and they have instantly read what your trying to tell them. This really helps peoples game play. Too bad you guys can't have it. :P

Why isn't there a button for "i sux" and "i rox"? That's the only information I ever share with team members. And usually they pick up on the fact that "i sux" through non-verbal communication, namely, watching me play.

Take your worthless product and cram it.

There should also be one for "let's spike them with our last pill".

By the way, I think the helper is cool. I don't think I'd use it tho.

No, it looks stupid.

Why does it look stupid? The one improvement that bolo really needs is the messaging system. Everything else I'm pretty much happy with as-is, unless there were more colors for more than 2 groups.

P.S. I can't believe I'm sticking up for a guy called 'fagzilla'.

I agree with FI. The standard size winbolo battlefield screen is so tiny that I found it to be ridiculous. With the winbolo program set on double size, there simply isn't room for these addons. I also don't see any advantage. There is little time to use additional features in a heated game when every second counts.

Yeah, you better know the button layout of that extra helper before playing some intense 2x2's or else you'll get owned looking for the "help me" button.

It's a good idea but poor implementation. I still find that with a majority of the players using broadband and speeds increasing (Comcast just upped their caps to 4Mbps/468Kbps or something similar) a chat client such as TeamSpeak or Ventrilo provides a more efficient means of communication.
