when alien turrets die will they just explode with a bunch of acid and stuff or is it all slow and it melts and it leaves a nasty mess that you cant even look at?  heh, that would be icky.    :D

    i don't think turrets contain acid........
    i think they  shouldn't explode but just malfunction, you know they just shut down with a bit of sparks flying and making that noise the turrets in hallife make when they are destroyed, the fiiiiiiieeeewwzzzz.

    hey that makes me wander it just struck me (ouwch&#33<!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo--> that players go in a overwatch(?) mode, and that then some bot or something shoots for you on things that come 2 close. How acurate is that? If it would be very accurate marines or aliesn can just put one of these liveless people near a spot and let it just fire away, oh but now i wonder it won't reload your un would it? Do you have to relaod in NS? Or can you just fire away?Ah to many questions to little answers, maybe i should wait for people to answer?

    Maybe I'm wrong *gasp*, but I believe the Alien turrets are organic in nature, not mechanical, so the acid explosion, or the melting wouldn't be too far fetched. I'm not sure how exactly overwatch is going to be accomplished, but I don't believe it's supposed to be used as an "auto-pilot" or extra sentry unit. That being said, if it reloads for you, then what's the use of you even being there, might as well just log onto a server, and then go to sleep.
