ArmoredPriapism

Because we didn't realize Dear Leader wouldn't approve of us talking about what should or shouldn't be included in NS2. I'm sorry, wrong thread.

I think that's sarcastic, but it's hard to tell whether that's all of it or just part of it. Combat isn't going to be in NS2, at least not supported by the devs. That's what <b>Buzzou</b> was referring too I think.

Okay, I'd REALLY like a new update. What sucks is that whining here would accomplish absolutely nothing, but there's not much left to discuss.

I'll take up that challenge. Anyone have any thoughts on what the "scrums" mentioned in the podcast are reference to? Maybe tools to help clans scrimmage/pug? Maybe a different kind of demo file recording or options related to that. Anyone have any other possible definitions?

Looking at the minimap it looks like fog of war is in effect. Any thoughts on how this affects gameplay? What kind of scouting should be available if this is the case?

And what about the EMP/Nervegas/shockwave? Is this an attachment/ammo round that pushes players back, or stuns them(I hope not), or does player damage in an AoE(like spores)?

Actually I find that pretty interesting. Are you guys finishing up a "30-day-sprint" soon then?
