Actually we're using 5.3 already. I updated the week it came out

The SD settings are there because it has been my experience that SD causes camping, skews balance, and just makes the game boring as hell. This puts the pressure on teams to actually _try_ to win, instead of just camping until SD and using it as a crutch. It also removes some of the inevitability from the alien team on some maps. SD votes need >65% to pass, so I haven't seen any issues with them. Most games they are never called. Less games than you would think end up going to time.
I will accept some map-specific changes if anyone wants... not sure. More bp for maps like Pulse, etc. Any opinions on this will be appreciated. Extended time for some of the larger maps might be good.
Another note; if you can't talk, do /!register in console.
