Things people will definitely use;
GTV
A built-in ladder and/or league (especially if it feeds into some kind of lan/money finals)
Graphics presets (which apparently do exist, but are tucked away in a vague, obscure corner)
Better netcode
Better servers
Servers in more appropriate locations
New maps (that are worthwhile)
A petitioning system, to get names from dead or disputed accounts
Things people will definitely not use;
Roughly 95% of maps
Settings or servers which harm their playing/watching abilities
Streaming-video, if they have the option of GTV (in particular, if shoutcast is included with GTV)
Third-party organizations, if 1st-party exists and third-party is prevented from using the game commercially
Things people might use;
About 95% of player-models (really, people only need keel/bright and one other model)
Freeze-tag (or probably any other new gametype)
New weapons or other items
This seems like a good list to start with. What you should do, with such a list, is first build all the stuff people will definitely use. Once that list has been exhausted, you should consider building things in the list of stuff people might use.
