<div class="IPBDescription">Is it cool?</div>I haven't yet played NS2 and was curious how people liked the all black armor? I was one of those who snoozed, and now I'm hoping they offer the armor again, as I'm waiting to buy the game until then. But is it worth it to wait?

But I also love "eternal gratitude".
I would pony for a special skulk skin.

Hot pink. So that everyone would start fearing the hot pink skulks.
+1 interwebz to you sir!
Most likely.
Not that I can really tell unless I'm looking though, colourblind, so normal marines look dark grey as it is.
and I was about a month to late. :-/
According to UWE It will never be aviable again.
But I hope that UWE has some other special thingy ready for active beta players and supporters in the forum once the game goes 1.0.
I don't believe we ever said that the black armor will NEVER be available again. Its conceivable that we may give out a few here and there as contests/promotions or something. However, there are certainly no plans to re release it at the moment, and it likely wouldn't be in any kind of widespread way like the original special edition deal.

Where is my Special Skulk skin!?!?
hmmmmm???
Love the idea and it would be really cool if there were slight variation skins/models other than the default or se that could be chosen. Clearly a feature like this isn't priority but something that would be interesting to consider for the future. Once custom content downloading is enabled, something similar could at least be done on a server running a few alt models to choose from.
To counter, skulks will be adorned with white wigs. While wearing these wigs, land around the skulk will be 50% less productive (for both teams).
I think we get to play the game pre-release
Does this mean I have to stock up on more fuel for mah flamer in me shed?
In addition, instead of a skin bonus for aliens, it would be better to offer a USB driven odor emitter giving the player a real total immersion experience sense of what life around the infestation must be like. Then offer formulas such as 'gorge-funk' or 'what have you been eating' as tourny prizes.
Fortunately, I already got it with the first.
Giving out black armour as prizes or rewards is a fine idea. Or you could give them some other armour that isn't green or black. Hot pink seems to be getting a few votes.
