    How do you know you can hit someone with the crowbar in HLDM?  You just get close, and smack 'em.  

    I hear Bob has a leap ability that helps get closer to deliver that toothy grin, though.

    ya but the crowwbar swings n is actually thin
    this ...well just closes his mouth and dosent advance...a crowbar is long range sort but this just...closes  <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    If you can't figure out how to run up close to another player and press your fire button, you might want to stick with Tetris.

    Pr0phecy- you're overthinking the way the bite attack - and even the crowbar attack - works.  It's a simple matter of a VERY short range weapon.

    You press the attack button, it checks to see if you're in range (ie, point blank for crowbars and teeth), and it assigns damage.  Simple as that.

    You don't actually have to get your teeth around an arm or a leg. :D

    Heres a simple anology, a cat can bite yer butt, it's generally pretty flat..... (right? <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->) and it hurts like hell (speaking from experience, but his claws slashing down my back when he was trying to stay on hurt more...). So if you give aliens sharper teeth, and bigger mouths, they will be able to grabs chunks in the marines armour and rip it off.....


    ps: pr0phecy, when someone as 'high' as monSE sends you a threat i dont think your meant to tell everyone....

    This post brought to you by:

    SpyderMonkey for President, Intl.

    I wouldn't go so far as 'funny'. Overly-sarcastic, or sardonic, if you will, might be a little more correct. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    MonsieurEvil is obviosly under much pressure and this unfortantly is turning into snappishness, but i don't blame him. Every time I go into the ideas forum and i see 2-3 new topics started by names i don't recognize with titles that sound a lot like things that have already been discussed I often need to take a breath or two before diving in. Poor guy's probably close to having a nervous breakdown.

    Ahh, well, I'd rather not link to the reason why he was threatened with suspension.  He broke a cardinal posting rule. Hopefully he just won't repeat the conduct that led to the warning.

    As for me being snappy - true. But I'm a short-tempered SOB and was long before the mod kicked into pre-release overdrive. Just me being me. The 'friendly PR' guy is actually pretty much an act, as I'm neither in real life.

    Being a forum moderater must be fun. You'll probably edit this and make it say "I'm an idiot and I don't know what I'm talking about."

    Moderators can make you look stupid...but they never do...in truth, it's just stupidity in posting that makes them change your wording to something that makes your stupidity Blatent. If a Moderator Edits a post, they're not Editing something to make it stupid to punish you. Nope, they're just making your stupidity Obvious.

    I'm offended that you think I would do that without justifiable reason. I promise you I, nor any other moderators would do any such thing with the intent of making someone look like an 'idiot'. Anything edited by a moderator was edited because of content, not because we're heartless, elitist, power-abusive ########. <span style='color:red'><--You of all people should know the swear filter is there for a reason.  C'mon.  Seriously.</span>

    's true. I've had some threads I made or helped push of topic locked, but I can't remember I time they've had to modify my posts. (But there was that time SpyderMonkey changed my post when i quoted a post the had said, "Don't quote me on that." But that time I was just asking for it) Just don't try to post anything obviosly unsuitable, don't try to link to anything obviosly unsuitable, and you'll be fine. The Mods here are very decent ppl.
