That's a normal marine who's in the middle of his death animation. He's buckled over and about to fall over.

screenshot number four is just the marine bending over when he dies.

death animation noticing skill +1. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Looks like he has huge arms and legs for some reason, lol...

I heard that it would be around 10-15MB. But i guess It could get bigger though <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Maveric

probably very small when you think about it. it uses all the same models/sounds/etc and only some code has been added. i suspect it'll be smaller than 50 MB... maybe even less than 25 MB.

Gadzuko

Question: Are you able to "save up" levels, so that if you really suck as a lerk you can just not pick that upgrade until have 2 levels saved and you can go immediately from lerk to fade?

Maveric

Question similar to Gadzuko's:

Are you able to save up levels so you can get xeno without getting leap?

I'm not positive (as I no play), however I believe that if you want you can save so that you can get xeno at the same time as leap, but you will never be able to skip over leap.

Unknown

I think you save up levels to be a higher life form. So I believe you'll need 3 or 4 saved levels to go Onos w/o upgrades... I could be wrong though...

Diablus

can u devour in NS:Combat? (if it was posted in this thread i didnt bother reading the posts, sorry just too many)

MrMojo

Prolly....are they changing weapons and weapon orders and such?

snozzle

nothing is changed from current ns: same upgrades and everything, same guns- but now some guns require certain upgrades

such as:

shotgun requires lvl 1 weapons

hmg and gl require lvl 2 weapons

jp + heavy armor require lvl 2 armor

Whoa whoa whoa!

Is this for the regular game? Because in NS:C you get all the armor upgrades at once along with all the armor upgrades at once...

Maian

Screenshots look great <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Generic question: If some ability is radically altered in one game mode, would it have to be altered in the other? If so, wouldn't this slow down development? Maintaining 2 projects at once, even if related, seems like a daunting task...

Opps, when I say PS stop the flaming I wasn't talking to you at all, but to the thread in general.

yes, devour time is a lot shorter though.

Majin

What happens if you join a game already in progress, wouldn't you be under powered? I can't see a basic marine beating a UBER FADE!

Cronos

I'd think that as long as you stick with your higher level team mates, their experience will percolate to you, so you wont HAVE to kill that fade, you just need to be nearby when your higher level team mates slay it. They gain experience, you gain experience etc.

So it should be fairly easy for Level one marines in the middle of the game to quickly progress provided they stick with their team mates...

CoolCookieCooks

soz if its been asked b4, but when u die do u keep the same upgrades or do u have to start again, or do u keep levels and u can get new upgrades with the level u got?

SillyGoose

What I really want to know is if 2.1 is being tested on steam servers, and if flayra has fixed the "right-click menu" problems? <!--emo&::fade::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/fade.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='fade.gif'><!--endemo-->

Seeing that the games are supposed to be very short I dont suppose it's any more of a problem than joining a CS game after the buy time. You'd have no chance against an AWP sniper, unless he was really bad, but you might get a few lucky shots off and even if you dont there'll be a new game along in 5 minutes.

Jeb_Radec

I think combat is a good idea but I'd really like to see it be more then just DM, add in some CTF or something PLZ then i will acutaly balance my tiem between NC and NSC.

There is an objective. Aliens defend, marines try to kill the hive.

40 minutes? It's a 2-5 minute round....

niaccurshi

great shots!

But...isn't devour something that is a bad thing for an onos to use? Unless a digesting marine counts as being in the spawn queue when all the other non-digesting marines are dead...a devoured marine could save the marines from a loss?

I know this is comming pretty soon, but I would just like to clear something up.

In the change log it says.

"GL, HMG, Shotty, HA, JP, motion, scan, beacon, welder, mines, lv3 weapons, lv3 armor, and resupply" are the choices for marines.

But looking at the SS it looks like the choices are instead.

sg/gl hmg
Weps1->w2->w3

Am I to assume that the marines are required to level up the guns/armor a couple times (hence a couple levels) to get the good stuff.

I hope so because I was thinking that at level 4 there was no way a regen adren fade would be equal to a level 3 jp level 3 hmg.

Anyway good stuff. I really really wanna play this because I get so bored with how slow ns can be. Esp when the enemy just won't finish you.
