Secret Plan Or W/e

CrazyFool

has anyone heard anything about this huge, great, secret plan that flayra said was 1 phase complete?

Rue

Yup, its called the Big Unannounce System(BUS)

But anyone who posts what the BUS is gets 'violated' by Nem, so I can't tell you

CrazyFool

haha well can you at least tell me if it will save NS from it's downhill slide?

weggy

I wasn't aware NS is in a downhill slide.

CrazyFool

just read the "stating the obvious" thread. they know what's up.

Supernorn

I'm pretty sure all work on the BUS was halted once XP-Cagey left.

Status_Quo

He left? When and why? I haven't seen anything about it.

Rue

Cagey works for ID now as a level designer for Q4 if I remember correctly

Basicly the BUS will(can?) not save NS from the downhill slope cause all it will be is a global ranking system that is only switched on at places like CAL or specily chosen leagues (to get clan scene going again) and I'm sure we will see some sort of advertising system in there too.

Status_Quo

Erm, where do you get all this info? The last time I heard anything about the BUS, it was to inform me that there was no information about it.

This is correct, XP-Cagey went on to work at EA...

As for the bus, obviously when Cagey left it did put a significant dent in it's continued development for the moment. But things are moving ahead on all fronts now..

Status_Quo

To be honest, if it's some sort of rating system as mentioned above, I couldn't possibly care less.

AlienCow

Mmmhmm. It was EA. He was on about Medal of Honour if I recall rightly.

There was a large goodbye thread. Everyone who was anyone posted in it. I hope you feel guilty.

*EDIT* And regarding Nem, I believe he's away and shall not wreak vengeance on mentioners of unmentionable subjects.

Status_Quo

Me? Not really, no. If it was on this board, I was probably on vacation because I tend to at least skim through the topics every other day or so.

Rue

Then who went to work on quake 4?

I'm sure it was someone from this mod

Actually, both ken20banks and KungFuSquirrel did. So you're both half right.

TOmekki

xp-cagey's goodbye thread was in the mapping forum.

Back on topic...

I daresay, BUS isn't a word I've heard in a while (except when debating the virtues of the BUS over the BOX, in which the BOX clearly came out on top).

Now Zunni, that's a very interesting post you've made. It's good to hear that progress is being made on it, but what that doesn't answer is, how much progress has been made?

Or, in other words:

<b>How completed is the BUS?</b>
