I am happy to read Marines will lose the tech when Armslab/Armory gets killed. It is silly now to buy a GL on each armory (even non advanced) build. And like the Poster above me said, it is just fair!
Btw I have a question. Some weeks ago I saw a taske about Redemtion/Regen. It is still planed?

Something like this would be pretty awesome for NS2. :D <a href="http://game.worldoftanks.eu/news/general_news/world_tanks_release_plan_2011_2012" target="_blank">WoT release plan 2011-2012</a>
"Add icons for pickup-able weapons and packs on the ground" This is what I'm interested in. By this, do you mean a HUD element that tells you "hey, you're standing on a weapon" or a 3D element that will stop commanders crying when a marine runs in circles for half an hour trying to find a health/ammo pack?

Most likley it will be something like borderlands or something.. like a little Floating Icon above the medpack with a symbol, or a Floating ammo clip a foot or so above the ammo, things like that.

What does it mean when something goes into accepted Status.. to me the Status order would seem to be Accepted > Started > Finished > Delivered... But a whole crap ton of things just went from Delivered to Accepted. After further thought the only thing I can think of is goes Started > Finished > Delivered > Accepted. Accepted meaning that QA has accepted that it has been completed and has been "OK'd" for launch
Started => Finished => Delivered(Testgames for bugs) => Accepted (no bugs ready to patch)
I smell patch day... at least i hope so, getting a little bit bored of this build... (not that its bad, but you know...)
Hope to see some summit adjustments too. (Currently i think its a bad design decision, that heli is favoured for marines(too open), and Xroads can be shot from the doors. => this restricts alien tactics a bit, not that its not possible to build at Xroads or Heli - but its a lot more risky)
Delivered means tested for bugs and works, Accepted means it's been merged into the main patch. As opposed to existing in some branch code and maybe not being compatible with other additions

Its funny in the NS2 wiki it has only 4 rounds, but ingame it has 6 grenades which makes a defence as alien very hard. Also the flamethrower shoot still through walls :( The old "ns1" grenade launcher was powerfull and you had to protect it as marines, this was so nice. Now the marines got 6 rounds+rifle+very fast reloading+unlimited ammo near armory (refill like in a second). But its a beta, i hope its just not done but as gorge its just painful to see how everything of your defence goes down in a second and there is nothing you can do because healing is to slow.

They also have a huge explosion radius of 8 (larger than Whip attack range)!
Pretty sure it is not the gorges job to defend, and yes GL will kill buildings fast, but its not a great deal faster than a fade swiping at a building.
As a fade if you get on top of a marine with a GL its a free kill.
I have no issues with the GL as either a Rine or a Alien.
GL is definitely overpowered. Splash range and damage is crazy. It's fine against buildings (it should be good against them), but it's too powerful against skulks, lerks and gorges. It's very difficult to avoid them as the range is so big. A few marines spamming them are very difficult to get close to. I also think that if a marine fires a nade at his own feet then he should take massive damage from it and it should only be used as a last resort.

I agree. Accordingly un-advanced armories should not offer advanced weapons.
On the other hand, I miss the Hand Grenades (also, Mines) from NS1. They weren't too OP, since you only got two and no refill.
