Now I know that this is not a supported feature, and I know its been bantered about before, but I'd like to suggest an additional security feature. Namely, the ability to lock a scenario.
Specifically, as a scenario designer, I would like the ability to be able to say that the human can ONLY play player 1, and that player 2 cannot be switched to human, that the preference settings I set up in the scenario cannot be changed, and that the scenario cannot be opened in the editor. I'm not saying that *all* scenarios should be that way, but I'd like the option.
This would permit standardized competition on scenarios, insuring a level playing field (i.e. "highest score" on scenario x). It would also permit scenarios to be used for multiplayer battle exercises in a variety of ways that they cannot now be used.
Just a wish-list, I suppose ... I know SPWW2 is next and MBT will stabilize for awhile, but I thought I'd throw it out there, since I bought a copy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
