Gameplay:
"spectators can only chat with spectators"
maybe you know why i think this is poison
for deathball. i hope countermeasures will
be taken

Maybe Epic are trying to tell us that Deathball is so excessively spam orientated, with game rules that were decided with 1 seconds thought and it should be converted into a chat mod, where we all go into spectate mode and fly round the maps...
We can then wait around for another mod, where the design team arent hell-bent on not upsetting their peers (i.e. combining a set of rules with no balance), at the cost of destroying what was a nice concept in its infancy.

Spectators only chat with spectators
This will be optional in the next beta patch (and off by default).

i have that problem that i don't have rings around the ballcarrier when i have the new beta patch installed, and the "can't sprint bug" happens quite more often than with 2199.

well just played 2 maps with the new patch online and in the first one (cube) i had no rings around ballcarrier, but in the second one (november) the carrier had these rings again. so possible reasons may be: rings don't like cube, you need a mapchange on the server to make them visible for you, there are no rings for you if you join midgame.
