Everyone got fatter

So, a couple of builds ago (note: before collision/hitbox change build) I've noticed that you can't evolve in some of the places you originally could, and you can't fit into some narrow holes you could before as a marine.
Can't evolve on top of terminal anymore

Can't get into this pot under ET techpoint

Could fit into this hole before as a marine

Question is: why and when was it changed? I don't really remember any mentions of this in changelogs. Once again: it was before collision box change (which was introduced 1-2 builds ago?).

    That ET techpoint one was changed way back, I believe it was a map change rather than a player hitbox change.

    All of these have nothing to do with players(well, not in that way). Tram was fixed because you could exploit that spot. Pretty sure ET tech point has been that way for a while. Space required to evolve was also increased prevent stuck spots. Type collision in console.

    I've noticed that also, and it prevents me from evolving to Gorge in like 95% of the vents (or even getting a Skulk upgrade)

    I've been yelled at by my team because they think I'm just sitting doing nothing, when I'm actually trying to find that "sweet spot" that will allow me to evolve.

    Not sure why they changed it, but it seems totally unnecessary and feels like a HUGE nerf for Aliens. I've lost count of how many times I've died evolving in the open because I had to leave the vent. (or I had to move to a spot Marines can see, like the west junction opening of the skylights/overlook vent on Veil)

    I tried it all.
    It was always tricky to evolve there in terminal, but you could do it with ease on the other side of pillar, where there is more space. Now you can't evolve even there :(

    A. You still can evolve in most vents.
    B. You got your clogs that can take you anywhere.
    C. Gorge in vent equals awesome.

    Holding crouch while trying to evolve was a stupid bug, made absolutely no difference to the model.
