<div class="IPBDescription">Real bug, not some "balance" whine</div>this could possibly be by design, but i doubt it. As a skulk I had level 3 cloaking(total invisibilty) and was hanging from the wall waiting on lunch and i noticed something odd. If you use the crouch key(mine is space) it moves you down the wall right? but it doesnt uncloak you like any other movement does..... im guessing this is a bug so i wanted to report it... try it out and see if you find the same thing.
also, on a side note, i think the game is near perfectly balanced barring any outside interferance(lag, uneven teams, ghey admins) but i do have one complaint regarding marine <!--emo&::sentry::--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/turret.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='::sentry::'><!--endemo--> 's. I dont think they are too powerful, but i do think that as an onos it is too hard to hit them, i stood in front of one for a good long time(yay carapace) trying to kill it, and no matter how many times i gored its health wouldnt drop, i never could find an angle that let me hurt it... odd.... also charge doesnt seem to work too well on the turrets... i was hoping id be able to charge straight through and at least damage a bunch of turrets in a line hehe, cest la vie.
Absolutely amazing mod guys, the sheer joy i find in the moment when the marine knows im in a room, creeps in looking for me, cant see me cuz im cloaked, then he decides hes safe....<u>this</u> is the moment i strike, the moment when i can inflict the most terror..... it is a wonderfl thing.
happy hunting. <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/skulk.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='::skulk::'><!--endemo--> *chomp* <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/asrifle.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='::asrifle::'><!--endemo-->

One side note: In the help tips it says: "Try pushing your crouch key to walk on walls and ceilings."
Which actually does the exact opposite. I know back in development it was like you had to push crouch to walk on walls. So I think the help tip should be changed, as the walking system is fine this way.
also, i was using the bite...jsut wasnt hurting turrets hehe... ah well ill figure it out eventually...
