I agree with you Dancho.
I played without chat and killfeed yesterday,
Not having the killfeed makes you check twice the Guy you shot, you are more careful.
Not having chat is hard, if no one is using mic, you lack information, because almost all of Intel are written on team or squad chat. I was able to write but not to read.
So if getting the chat smaller or to change its position is possible, that would be more than great!
