    Last I heard it got removed because it worked a little TOO well and allowed marines to completely lock down areas by going afk in strategic places....

    I think it was meant to give the player an AI while he is afk, but seems powerful to me, a bit too powerful <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The idea was that the dev team realises not everyone has a mic and so incorporated overwatch for AFK situations and for when your typing, cos theres nothing more annoying then getting killed by a skulk whilst your typing "Watch out! Theres a skulk around the corner" <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    As far as I know it was removed because as Revenge said it was too powerful and difficult to balance. I suppose its a possibility for a future version but it might have been canned all together.

    Wouldn't both sides have it, thus balancing?
