Hello!

I've been playing the game for a bit now. And I've found one thing that's really starting to get on my nerves.
There is no chat log!

You guys, really need to get one implemented fast, please! :)

I've been talking to guys, and when we have a conversation, and there's 3 in on it, then someone random write, "OH NO I DIES!" I don't get to read what that first one wrote. Because it get bumped up and out of the chat area.

So please, please implement a chat log, with at least 30 lines, so we can scroll and read!

Please note, that this isn't about a chat after the match has ended.

Yes, there are a console / chat log.
But I would've liked to have something that's dedicated to a chat log :)
So that I don't have to check the console for what ppl wrote.

Sod the chat log, I want to be able to close chat with ESC and change the console key to anything but ' - it's so annoying for people who actually like to construct proper sentences when they chat, and so ' is required.

Press your ~ key. There is a chat log.

The problem being that ` or ~ opens a console of everything, in which the chat is often mixed up amongst messages of: Picked up x or a whole list of "Cannot stand up here" while I ask for advice (and the answers gone before I could read the first word)

something like in the valve games or whatever, where you press the talk key and it shows a little box where you can scroll and what not

Just open the console, it will show player messages as well as game messages.

What happens when you're in a tank and the buffer of messages gets wiped every few seconds by FORWARDS, LEFT, RIGHT spam?

We need a chatbox, as simple as that.
