    Obviously its the addition of the Hive lifeform.

    At 9 Biomass, the Kahmmander BECOMES the hive, crawling around on its tentacles and spawing whips and infestation where ever it goes, stealing the hive skill points of any marine killed by the whips and giving to the Kahmm.

    The codename for this lifeform is RookieWhipFarmer.

    I am imagining the hive walking down a corridor in Tram like a boss. (Btw, Iron within, Iron without)

    After the tweet about NVidia giving cards to UWE .. its probably just something like NVidia releasing a profile for NS2 or something equally as useless .. 3D stereoscopic compatibility with NS2 haha .. but as @blarney_stone said .. there's no point getting excited about any 'hype' relating to anything in these forums .. might aswell just wait for the announcement

    From the drop bear link...
    The Australian Museum has a purportedly serious entry on drop bears in its catalogue of Australian fauna, classifying them as Thylarctos plummetus. The description says they are about the size of a very large dog, have coarse orange fur with dark mottling, have powerful forearms for climbing and attacking prey, and bite using broad powerful premolars rather than canines.

    Sounds like a Skulk to me....

    If we are not going left-field enough, then what we have all feared has become reality. UWE have finally lost all touch with what NS2 players want and need. They are instead going to give us loads of 'Left-Field' stuff, rather than the straight forward fixes and improvements we want, so we can show this game proudly to our friends, without having to explain:

    'ah sorry, yeah, don't use exo's, they aren't as good as they appear',
    'Yeah, I know your computer is way over the minimum specs, but the specs don't reflect what is required to play the game.'
    'Yes, I know the organised play function doesn't work properly, give it time, it will probably be fixed'

    and a myriad of other comments that have my friends accusing me of being a NS2 fanboy.

    Well, I am, but I get genuinely disapointed when my friends just complain this is a shit game, and they can't see why I bother playing it. They are taking the game at face value, and at face value, it has a lot of problems that need to be solved before we start getting all 'Left-Field' in the updates.

    I know it's nearly April, time for the april fools jokes, but a lot of people I have introduced this game to feel it is a joke. Some of them were even NS players, who liked the original game, but can't see past the problems of NS2.

    I know it's relative, and I think UWE have done an amazing job with their resources, and produced an amazing game, but to the non-fanboys out there, there is a lot that hinders their basic enjoyment of the game.

    Although, ultimately, I guess it's them that are missing out.

    At the moment there are no plans to work on Discovery, unfortunately.

    If the map itself is not going to be worked on, were there any new assets created for it before the worked stopped?

    I sure the mappers would love to get ahold of any new assets they can :D
    There are some assets, yes. We may still have some use for them, though.

    I wouldn't hold out much hope for Discovery, although those posts are a whole 3 months old, so they could have changed their minds, but I doubt it.

    Do we actually have access to the discovery assets? Haven't seen them in el editore`.

    if its not DISCOVERY im gonna cry

    Cory confirmed that discovery was not being worked on anymore.

    What? so they just tossed in eclipse instead of DISCOVERY?!??!?!?!? does it not already have conceptart and music made for it? :(
    Eclipse wasn't exactly just "tossed in." There was an enormous amount of work that went into it in concept art, mapping and prop design. I'm just as bummed as anyone that we won't be seeing Discovery any time soon, but I take exception to the characterization that Eclipse was trivial.

    Engine change?
    Female aliens?
    Cross dressing gorge?
    Australian live event?
    New "I want ns1 back" map?
    Natural selection 3?
    Micro-transaction hats?
    A new badge?
    A ns2 mod for stand-alone combat?

    I must be close?

    3 hour poorly written single player, punctuated by big glitchy set pieces and subtle racism and the addition of a perk and kill streak system and weapon attachments, all unlock-able via booster packs purchased with in game currency and/or real money.

    Oh and hats

    Sexist racist homophobic single player. You guys are not thinking far enough outside the box. We all know it is hungry hungry onos stand alone. No point in continuing this discussion.

    Female gorge. Where DOES she keep all those clogs? @-)

    Female gorge. Where DOES she keep all those clogs? @-)
    Somewhere in her stomach like the current genderless gorge? That is unless someone makes a new animation with gorges turning around and clogs seemingly ejecting from their nether regions. o.O

    There's a few guesses that are pretty close, but not quite right - similar idea, but not the right details.

    My guess is something based on "last stand" being released.
