These are just for starters. Aliens were boosted so much from 1.04 to 2.xx that most people don't even consider 2.xx to be the same game as 1.xx.
i think the dev should have focus'd more on Polishing NS classic and balanceing it out before the whole Combat Craze
and by that i mean now they should really be focusing on ns classic now rather than continueing to tweak combat. Before we hear about the whole B.U.S thing and how it will affect ns...
The obvious problem lies in the skulk's wallclimb ability. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->
OK, I guess this has arrived at the 'another generic development discussion' stage, so I'll <span style='color:red'>***lock***</span> to avoid 'another generic CO-bashfest', 'another generic pubber-clanner dispute', or to the all time favorite, 'another ten damn pages of "This is so gonna be locked"s'...
