new alien weapons?

dudepuppet

considering this game is sort of based on starship troopers and there is a 3rd one comming out and in the trailer theres a bug"grenade" so im proposing an organic type grenade for the aliens upgradeable by the alien commander

There's is going to be a alien comm for sure?

Bile Bomb?

Also, an alien type 'grenade' would have to be adren based, meaning they would be able to use it a lot. Meaning that a lot of aliens spamming these could probably easily decimate marines.

Although, there could be a whole new thing, where once its upgraded, its like a once off use sack on the aliens back (or once every few minutes). That could work.

Its pretty likely, im 99% sure. Listen to all the podcasts.

From what i understand, the HIVE will act like the command chair, when theres noone in it, tentacles droop down to the ground. Then a gorge walks into these and pushes 'use' key. The tentacles wrap around him and pull him up into the hive. The benefit of this is that youd always essentially have a gorge at your hive (providing only gorges can command).

Well if UW is doing what i think they are doing and creating new weapons for the marines. That means they are most likely gonna create new ones for the aliens too. In that case they most likely are going to have to make a new alien creature. But then that will conflict with the others and then the might have to take away some weapons from the NS1 aliens... I hope they don't destroy the Lerks, they are my favorite class if you haven't noticed yet! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />
