    "The marine will now cough when taking damage from spores (not from the marine's perspective yet, working on that)"

    "Attacking marine sentries makes them less accurate (the sentry fires through the actual model barrel now)"
    "Sentries now fire exactly where their barrel is pointing, so damaging a sentry will make it less accurate"

    You say that twice :S


    EDIT:
    wow, just finished reading, that is a lot of things. Sadly it is 4 am now, so I think I rather go to bed than wait for the patch :(
    Also, will be fun to see your changes to the minimap, as maybe my mod is obsolete now (other than the fact that it makes a small minimap visible for spectators at all time).

    Nice change log! We'll probably have to wait till tomorrow for steam to update though. They usually don't update after 6p PST.

    Fall 2009

    But who needs finished games? I already have had more fun in ns2 than in (goes to check steams hour counter to compare ns2 with his newest games):
    NS2 has 238 hours
    Terraria is at 55
    Magicka, which I enjoyed a lot, is only at 50
    Fable 3 is at 14
    Portal 2 is at 6
    Sanctum is at 6
    Gmod, which i probably played more than anything, is at 2822 (not newly bought tho)

    Some games might have a few hours more than I actually played them, due to being on while im afk, especially singleplayer games. The exception is gmod, which I often let idle while I code for it, or when I go eat.

    I'd rather they take their time and actually get a working game before they release.

    Hmm should this be done? What if you wanted to defend (order) a target and have marines stay there until the commander decides otherwise?

    Respects for that you rarely see this kind of devotion.

    I used to play it a lot even before steam started tracking hours, and afaik their tracker is bugged anyway, getting a too low number. I think that the real total count for gmod is somewhere closer to 5k.

    And it is not really devotion, coding just happens to be time consuming. And so is building (minecraft, anyone?).

    Pathing is greatly improved, but I ran into a big issue in heliport on Summit with MACs. The MACs won't go from the platform by the power node to the next hall near crevice. They slow down asymptotically as they approach the hall, then stop. I had to baby sit them around the long way by the tech point to finally get them to move.

    Some of the next patch updates look amazing.
    I definitely think a shift or shade are in our future soon.

    Downloading now, looks awesome UWE. Apart from the other stuff you've already talked about changing before now, I like how cysts will now die off gradually rather than loosing an entire chain of them at once. Does this mean that both sides of the broken link will start dying, or just the one furthest from a hive connection? Will find out soon enough I guess.

    With the leap change I hope it's because it scaled with the Lerk's speed and needed to be reduced to remain at somewhere near the same power. If not I'll get used to it I suppose, I just hope that I can still leap from just outside the vent in Crevice to over the rock arc leading into Heliport.

    Keep up the great work guys, the beta has been really enjoyable lately!

    Edit: Also the new vent in Summit sounds nice, I was thinking there needed to be one somewhere through crossroads.

    Is it just me or is the game much better threaded? Seems like to load is more evenly spread across 4 cores...
