I saw <a href="http://www.lerk.de/wp-content/gallery/ns2-marines-pistole/pistole.jpg" target="_blank">this (lerk.de)</a> and i was surprised. (because i can´t choose a higher resolutionm on NS2 news...why?)
I guess everybody know now, you can buy guns, but what happend if you die?
Can teammates take/steal them?
Or only the owner of the gun, i mean if you buy a expensive gun and you die, somebody take it, so maybe people just wait until you die with purpose.
How long will they stay, i don´t remind it, but i guess in NS1 they disapear after a time...which is to bad for the "buyer"

    The palm print scanner almost certainly won't actually do anything, just like you won't be able to outright remove the laser sight.

    Will the commander be able to lock the current ability to buy the weapons from the armory? I think that would be a great idea since, I am fairly sure that most commanders out there would like to be able to control their resource use at certain times in a game. I think this is a "must have" in NS2 due to the amount of people that could grief the server by buying the most EXPENSIVE weapons and dropping them in order to waste resources. ( Or someone that is just plain bad that wants to use an expensive weapon that would waste the resources instead of giving it to a better teammate)


    I really hope that we will be able to STILL drop weapons as a commander and at the same time be able to lock the armory....

    Marines <i>will</i> buy their weapons with their own resources, completely separated from the commander resources :)

    meh, I wonder how the resources are going to generate then.... or if its going to be like how the aliens got their res in ns1.

    It should actually be simple !

    The things would work like now in ns1 where comm gets the res from RTs and from marines killing aliens
    In NS 2 it should be separate, you get ur own res when killing an alien while comm get's only res from nodes.

    Probably. Really the only way that makes sense in a per-player resource model.

    Maybe everyone has base trickle based on the # of RTs, and comm gets extra shares, but players get extra from kills.

    I hope there is some way to lock out purchasing, if not I suspect there will be a mod within a few days to enable that. ;)
