Parasite's "use" Function

<div class="IPBDescription">Removed...</div> I was curious as to why they removed parasite's ability to activate buttons and other usables? Also is spit's ability to do the same fully in? Just noticed that I hadn't played on one server that it wouldn't happen for me.

    I've noticed it too Gashi. One of my all-time favourite Marine scare tactics doesn't work anymore. It doesn't seem like much at first, but it can scare marines pretty badly. Be courteous and open the door for them.

    Yeah, but one can see, ergo trace, spit. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    You might want to try sending this to Bug report, as I don't remember the changelog mentioning anything about removing parasite swicth fun.

    Yea, I liked this. Perhaps it has somthing to do with removing the ability for parasite to detonate mines (IMO shoulda stayed)

    Heh, I actually used that trick today as a gorge. Buncha rines were standing around in mess hall, and I wanted to run down that back hallway (behind the glass that always gets smashed). So I poked my head out, aimed at the door button and fired. Doors spring open and all the marines instantly turn to look at it. Meanwhile im hauling my chunky butt down the hallway. No one shot me or came after me, so I assume they didnt see me. Fun! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    They changed the parasite's damage type to organic I think. that's why you see the gasmask icon when paraed.
