<div class="IPBDescription">What changes can you name?</div>I thought it would be fun if we could all name an old feature, and then name how that feature changed into what it is now
For instance
Marines used to get their resources simply by killing aliens, but now they get their resources from resource nodes

Then, after, a particularly frightening yet trippy dream Flayra had, induced by a 3 week old piece of moldy tofu he accidentally ingested at dinner, he decided to make the terrorists aliens instead.
And history was made.

<i>Skulk's</i> original name was Okegite
"Medium and heavy armor (slows movement, greatly increases damage and carrying capacity, purchased)" So I'm now guessing that it isn't a new concept, just something that they've finnished, or decided to bring back. You used to have to purchase things. Now everythings given by commander or picked up by someone else dropping it.
The penguins are all out to steal my sanity...

Tzarcon, great thread idea
I dont know when alot of these changes took place actually, I remember the before and after but not that tiny grey period inbetween wheres its discussed to death (amid spam) and discarded.
I went and got it hosted for ya. I was wondering Freemantle, buddy, could I join the <span style='color:red'>Pistol Fanclub</span>? I'll go ahead and get the logo in meh sig.
used to be topics would stay on topic, but now it's evolved towhere a tread on something (like changes in NS) evolves into a series of messages that should be PMs and off topic posts
This is their fault for not reading the FAQ, more of the questions, etc. However, and this is the important part to remember, this is no excuse for rudeness or yelling at them. Show a little patience and restraint, and just answer their questions politely and point them to the FAQ, etc. If you are so fed up that you don't think you can do this, then refrain from answering and let someone else who is feeling more cool-headed do it.
Otherwise you get someone new who shows up, says something along the lines of "Hi, I'm new, this mod looks really cool, so when does it come out?", which is a pretty reasonable question on many forums, and he gets in return something like this:
Flame Flame ARGH! READ THE FAQ Flamity NO SPECULATING FLAME FLAME!
totally ignoring the fact that he said the mod sounds cool, and that he obviously is new and interested. Responses similar to the above, while perhaps mildly justified are more likely to aggravate and drive away new people.
We all like to say how wonderful NS is, but let's try and make sure that the community lives up to and is worthy of the Natural Selection mod.
Sorry, this was supposed to be a short comment, but it is something I really hate to see. The more persistent newbies will remain and get the hang of things, but losing everyone else who isn't hardcore and determined is not necessarily a good thing, in my mind...

As far as changes...
I seem to recall that the marines weapon of choice for battling aliens was the AK-47. They also went for a little armor that showed off their necks as was probably the fashion before har har har.
Or perhaps you just don't feel like talking, or maybe forgot?
