<div class="IPBDescription">Discrimination in the scrrenshots.</div>The new screenshots are looking great!  However, I couldn't help but notice that they are heavily weighted towards the Marine's side of the game.  Lots of cool gun pics. and commander mode shots.  Where are the aliens?

I would personally like to see some shots from the alien's point of view.  What does a flyer see when he stink bombs a squad?  How does a Marine look through the eyes of a Behemoth (shortly before being eaten)?

Surely someone one the alien side captured a view screens?

    im pretty sure they did but they dont want to release it because its a surprise they probably want u to see it when u play and not a screenshot.

    me i rather wait to play as aliens then see screenshots of them.   <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    and it certainly ain't number 3, and number 2 is worker?...

    It's the level 2, the builder and he looks really amazing, wow the detail that gotten in the skin is amazing, the model itself is nice too, monsE I think you should post  the credits for this model, so we can tell them what a good job they did <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    I'm surprised there's a problem with Bob's size... resizing a model takes about 5 minutes and HLMV.

    Holy mother of crap! Whoever is doing the modeling for this game should be doing it professionally. But then again, I don't mind that they're here making them for this wicked game.

    Just hurry up and release it. Hehe.  <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    I didn't say anything about making them professionally. But if using HLMV takes 5 minutes and MS3D takes 30, I'm going to chose HLMV. Beaner probably agrees.

    You are right ( I modified my post above). This is the levl2 builder alien, aka 'Pudgy'. And both both Beaner and Cory are pro game developers. It shows, don't you think?

    I hope this goes a little ways towards making you loyal NS fans (who aren't getting to play yet) feel a little better.

    So what models are used as placeholders for lvl 2, 3 and 4? The G³s from HL? (Gordon, Gman and Gina.) <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    Just imagine a lvl3 Gman coming flying over you attacking you with wicked blue clouds. :S

    It's not like if the NS team gave out playtesting jobs just to please those selected. They needed people to do a job, even if it was a really fun job. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0">

    That is one freaking amazing looking model.  Just like all the rest.  Seriously, someone hand those two gentelmen the keys to the executive washroom.  They certainly deserve it.  I can't wait to see this bad boy in game.   <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    Kassinger, in the current build, pudgy looks like the NSTR2 bob.
    The level 3 looks like some wierd bat thing (its TINY) and...
    The level 4 kind of looks like the genestealer from sven.

    All 3 of those are place holder models, and for the heads up, lvl 5 is currently not in the build, so i can't give ya imput on that.  I hope the next builds have this critter in action, pudgy pwnz.

    I don't think they were able to build up enough resource points to make a L5. I might be wrong though.

    I simply prefer the level 3,
    I loooove anything that can fly, especially in a half life mod because you rarely see that!
    And this team has gone through some lengths of coding,
    they had to have lots and lots of coding individually for each alien, like bob can walk on walls and climb in roofs,
    level 3 alien can fly, etc etc,
    I can't wait for this mod to be released,
    Hope it's soon though <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    No, the level 5 just wasn't coded into the playtest version that we had.  I'm positive that I had, at numerous points, enough resources to morph into a level 5, because if it takes over 600 points, I'll cry.
