Kale - I use a program called HLSW. It's a free program which, when you run in offline mode, shows any game servers running on the network at any point.
It haven't ever noticed it running any blizzard games, but all CoD servers, HLDM, CSS, BF games etc are shown on there. I'm pretty sure it was recommended in one of the forum posts a while back, but it's pretty useful to see which games have people in them.
As for my own comments, I would really like to see more gaming. V16 was the first time I tried to get a team together for the comps and we all had a lot of fun. It just kinda sucks that once our team was out of the CoD4 comp it was really hard to get a game going because no one wanted to play after that. Unless, of course, you went into the Gungame server, which had one of the teams in it, working together in a FFA match.. that seemed a little unfair, but it was the only server with peopl in it, so I didn't really have much of a choice.. any time I made my own server I never got more than about 3 or 4 people.. because it was so quiet, everyone left the server within 5 mins..
I know I can always just play online once I get home, but the LAN atmosphere is just so much more fun for gaming.
I said it in another thread, but I think it will be more appropriate here:
From where I was sitting, which was in that side room and right near the back, I could not hear any of the announcements. I had the notifier running the whole time with alerts on for all post but all that seemed to be on there was "Tron server is up for fun comp" and "Come collect pizza" which were good, but for serious comps they were, in my opinion, pretty useless..
I think all announcements should be posted on the notifier, we're all running it for a reason, remember

Maybe at the start of each round, just post "team vs team - server #". I didn't find out until half way through round 1 that my team had a bye.. We were all wondering if we had missed out on being in the comp.
It all worked out eventually, but I think better use of the notifier will help things be more organised. But that's just my opinion

Other than that, I had a great time! Coming to Respawn is something I always enjoy, and I guess the negative comments are just to try and see if I can help improve anything

EDIT: What's the chance of Respawn investing in a coffee machine? McDonalds makes horrible coffee and I think if admins served coffe for say $2, they would easily make about $30 from me.. I love my coffee
