    The way it's described in the design document is certainly not how marine sentries turned out, which is fine IMO, but it kind of makes lerk bilebombing impossible since they also cover the air well above the area they cover. And if sentries stay that way at least hydras need a buff.

    In addition, I honestly don't see how LMGs can be viable lategame.

    DLC cards, must be nice.

    Regarding the design doc, this caught my eye.

    <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->NS1 was a real-time strategy game with a shooter interface, NS2 is a shooter first, and RTS second (more people experience it as a shooter than an RTS).<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    NS1 has always been a shooter first. Being the best strategist didn't get you anywhere if you failed at shooting - unless you exclusively played commander.
    I don't know what makes you think NS2 is further on the shooter side than NS1, because NS2 clearly has more RTS elements in comparision (alien commander, infestation/power nodes, more comm spells, ...).

    The point of the doc is to give the designers some key themes to remember - so i wouldn't over analyse it.

    NS1 was more a proof of concept that rts and fps could combine - this one has to actually sell to the COD crowd so it's just there to remind the team what their priorities are.

    I do agree with you though.

    LOL Ghostrine!

    I think he's a fallen Marine back when TSF was still Trans-System Authority :P

    Ghostrine haunts my dreams. They say he comes at night, mostly.

    Man if I was a Skulk and bumped into Ghostrine, I would swear off marines for good, evolve into a Gorge and bury myself in cysts and hydras and NEVER leave.

    Really excited about the new spectator mode :D

    Can I suggest letting the spectator move at different speeds? The default speed is far too fast sometimes. I'd like to be able to move slower by holding shift or some other key.

    Let us zoom in and out while in 3rd person spectator mode.

    A key for hiding all text and interface instead of having to input r_gui false/true?

    I see those armory traps are just as effective on Humans as they are on an Onos.

    The cyst will remove one eyeball from the closest marine
    As a result half of your screen will go black.

    to balance this marines can now riflebutt onos in the nards.

    The program may have been closed but once a Constie, always a Constie.

    I donated to Constellation last year on the 9th anniversary of ns1 but never got in. I recently sent an email to the ns2 store about it before the humble store transition.

    Should've spent the money towards a ns2 key for a friend I guess.

    <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/constellation/" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/constellation/</a> Also shouldn't this page be taken down now?

    Why
    who is that page hurting.

    Go go PAX boys.
