NS1 eastereggs

<div class="IPBDescription">How would you like to see one??</div>I was thinking about the maps of NS2 and NS1. It made me think about eastereggs, why i dont know.. anyway.

Im wounder, how would you like to see an easteregg from NS1 in NS2?

---

One think i like to see is like blocked of corridors that shows "ported" old models from NS2, like command chair with skull in it as if was acting as commander or something like that.

Or on some montor hidden somewhere that shows "history" of that place or time with picture of NS1.

    I will be sorely disappointed if there is a lack of catbus.

    Secret rooms would be good enough for me :) Maybe with veil's marine start with a bunch of broken marine structures...

    Easter eggs are a long and established mapper tradition, i'd be very surprised if there weren't tons.

    Indeed. I wonder if we'll get to see the "Offical NS2 Rave Room".

    What of non-mapper ones? Those were cool too.

    Their's only 3 siege maps with porn rooms.. And then their was the siege map with wall to wall porn in game which was pretty epic (but that's not a porn room... it's a porn map lol).

    But it's unfair to call siege maps stupid... their quite fun... Your pretty much assured to be getting some HA or JP and HMG or GL... And you also know you'll be getting them almost every time you spawn!

    Essentially Siege maps take the best aspects of CO (i.e. getting cool equipment every time you respawn) + the best aspects of NS (which is terrain-capturing-conquering).

    So ya Siege maps kick ass!!! Their like hardcore NS maps.

    Therefore i wonder why you think siege maps are "stupid"... it's just NS ffs. Maybe your a alien sympathizer that finds it frustrating to be gunned down as fade by a squad of HMGs + JPs...

    Also in NS2... all "classic" maps will play basically like siege maps... Reason being because everyone will have personal res to buy personal weapons... that you're most definitely gonna be getting HMGs and HA or JP... that's a very big change from "classic" NS1 maps where you're lucky to get a shotgun and PG to somewhere... Although i must admit that counterstrike has had this for ages... and Insurgency... well in Insurgency all the weapons are free (but their's a limited number of each type allowed for the team)...

    As usual you make my head hurt but here goes;

    1. No, it's not "just NS". "Just NS" is maps like ns_veil and ns_tanith. Not siege maps. Also, the way you present it you seem to just love marinebiased siege maps, of which most of them are unfortunately. Yaaa, great maps.

    2. No, you wont be buying any HMGs or HA or JP any more often than you would in NS1 (<i>With reservation for game rebalancing</i>). Basically you have no picture at all on what is actually planned, gathered from the info released. Here's a small hint: Things still need to be researched.

    Of course there'll be easter eggs hidden in the maps, this is NS after all. It just wouldn't be the same without 'em.

    Judging by the sheer amount of oldschool players on the forum, it's almost certain that there'll be a fair few nods to NS1 in the maps... Kinda like that one mission in Tiberian Sun, where you run into an old C&C era base with all the original buildings. That made me smile.

    I'd really like to see the image you took after you guys managed to sell like 98% Special Edition packages and holding money somewhere in the game.
    It's a bit rude and it's a bit awesome :p

    As much fun as easter eggs are, I think the team should be working on the basics of the game and not even remotely considering easter eggs, unless things are much farther along than I think they are that is.

    That being said: Catbus.
  • NeXuZNeXuZ Join Date: 2003-08-12 Member: 19594Members
    just of my head..

    a hidden room that has a fade and heavy (old models if they can be ported) playing poker or some card/board game.
