As for explaining to new players, we can all do that really easily. Every time I'm on Endor, I send a message saying, "Remember, imps can't retake control points" at least once during that round. I try to always do so in a friendly way, and there's almost always someone saying thank you.
I'll make an "x Important things to remember" thread when 1.2 comes out. I'm also considering gathering all the loading screen tips (we've got new ones!) and posting them in a forum thread, even though there's a lot of them.
Yeah, little things like disrupt carefully-planned gameplay mechanics in maps.
Unfortunately, even if the loading screen text was relevant to the gameplay (it's more flavour text) people still don't read it anyway.
If there is a specific game mechanic for a map, it should be painted on the mini-map.
