<div class="IPBDescription">too fast ?</div> I was thinking if the marines (without Heavy Armour) are too fast? They are almost as fast as a skulk without celerity. Their backpedalspeed are realy nice and slow, but the sidestepspeed is too fast imo. The running speed should be lowered a tad and the sidestep speed should be lowered too.
And how about not being able to jump while fireing your gun or something? It just looks silly to see a marine in a realy heavy metallic armour, jump around like mad, while a small skulk is running around hes legs. And it also makes the game feel much more DMish.
It would be nice to hear others opinion about this <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

I really hate getting squashed as a fat old gorge early game because some skulk idiots decided they don't like parasiting rambo marines wandering around picking on random structures and gorges <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
As for an opinion, I think the slower backwards motion was a good idea (this was used in the oldschool FPS Marathon (1,2 and infinity), one of the best IMO). The sidestep could be slowed down, I've learned to do a sorta side to side motion with the strafe keys to back out of dangerous areas faster than if I had used the backwards key, and safer than if I had turned around and ran.. *shrug* I think it shouldn't matter, because it's not very practical to do what I just stated.
Im just thinking that lowering the speeds will make the game more tactical, and not just "jump-as-much-as-you-can-while-wearing-a-100kg-heavy-armour".
And yes DarkAngel that is a nice and constructive post you have there <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

then you turn around and rolls backwards over it ofc... what do ya think? dork..
was that supposed to make sense or do you just like to spam?
and the aliens should all have bubble gum dispensers instead of weapons, and they should all look like cute little puppehs and kittehs.
and then the object of the game should be to see whoever can give the most 'big hugz' to the other team.
Obviously they can't make it so marines can't jump or move, but something needs done about strafe jumping and it needs done soon.
And yes I know bunny-hopping is not the same thing as strafe jumping, but I don't really care and it's not a point that's relevant to the discussion at hand.
Who's to say it's 100 kilograms?
This is the future, perhaps they've found some super strong lightweight metal to compose their armor of
Look at a spider web, spiders silk (proporsionally of course) is 5x stronger then steel, but it's super light, why is that? I don't know, but it is
So maybe they're perfectly mobile in said bit of armor and able to jump like a 5 year old
also I have absoleutely no problem dodging marines fire, just run circles (broad, not enclosed) around them and then they empty their clips, then run up for the kill, and I have never EVER seen a marine jump faster then my skulk can leap / jump
In less you count bunny hopping, but aliens can bunny hop as well, let's nerf them too!
Oh and stamina bars, yah they're fine and all, but give aliens them too, if a marine has stamina then a Fade does too. (Jumping doesn't do anything for the yellow stamina bar, that's what I'm talking about)
then see how slow you move. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
fixed.
and yes, it is a "power-armor"ish sort of thing, too, so the suit kinda supports itself...
