Trailer Questions

<div class="IPBDescription">Inequalities?</div> I noticed two things going on that i assume are in the changelogs for NS2.0 which wern't there.

First, they said that they were replacing the marine LMG model so that the optical sensor on top does NOT look like a scope.

Second, Were they, or were they not, supposed to have fixed the Marine's minimap? It still looks as useless as ever.

Or is it just that this video was taken from an early build of NS 2.0?

Sorry to ask in a topic all by itself, but hey, i figure its all electrons anyway, and those are cheap.

    The minimap was one of the last things to be done, i.e. post-2.0z. It's being worked on at the moment, if it's not done already that is. In other words, the trailer was made before the new minimap came into the picture.

    how about the CZ LMG has it been adjusted to account for that Optical Scope on the top?
    Also, when you do a upgrade to weps the icon shows the Hand gun getting Big time Sexy scope and bigger chamber and stuff, any possibility of that as of 2.5 you can get new models of gun to coinside witht he upgrade to the weps via the arms lab?

    Mini-Map was put into the final beta release 'RC1'.

    It really is quite amazing =D What I have noticed so far is that it displays the marines and what direction they are facing (friendly in green). And I havent noticed what it does for res nozzles or aliens yet. Normally I dont look at my minimap when a skulk is 5 yards away from me.

    More to come.

    The LMG model is going to be adjusted in the near future, but don't look for it in 2.0 . . . it's been remodeled, but has yet to be skinned.

    But yes, one day soon the nasty scope will be not quite so scope-ish. Just not in this build, though.

    Wasn't it Flayra saying in his numerous interviews that after NS 2.0 the whole team is going to go on break and decide from there where they want to take NS?

    Does this mean we have to wait a few months for a new patch just for correcting the LMG model, or will there be a minipatch in NS2.0's future?

    Flayra said they would be taking a huge break after the release of 1.0. 1.01 was released three days later =]

    Then again, 1.0 had that pretty major marine resource bug...hopefully, 2.0 will be strong enough to stand on its own for a while. Long enough for Flayra to actually do something else, like eat or drink, anyway.

    why? could you seriously zoom in and focus on any of the aliens? ok, sure, the onos might be slow enough to do that, but if you have to zoom in to hit it, you're playing the wrong game, kiddo. Go back to Pong.

    nope this has already been settled, 11th hour was going to be in 2.0 but was removed due to sub standard game play, however the preview was made a while ago and the videos of it slipped in.
