    i love them..ALL of them except for :

    - Faster and more intense gameplay (average game time in v1.04 is 22 minutes, v1.1 target is around half that, though epic games still possible)

    i liked the long games <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    looks sweet, but the movement chamber teleportation should stay, and yes, long games are fun

    it looks like aliens are getting a lot better, we'll be seeing a lot of alien victories until commanders learn the new strategies.

    -Fewer "stuck" issues with Onos and blink

    Hmmm. I dont like the sound of that sentence. Does it means that Fades/Onos still get stuck? That means blink still wont be used since no one wants to slam 54 res onto a wall because of a bugged blink.

    Sounds good except for one thing...what the heck do you need to cloak your HIVE for??? hehehe...

    Possibly partially efective for those JP that land on top of the hive and blast away? Is cloaking going back to full cloak not this partial crap? I could see partial cloaking or no cloaking at all for the sensory chamber that's cloaking everything else but please don't make partial cloaks for alien structures...a group of alien structures will be easy enough to find as soon as one marine wanders into it and tells his whole team to go get it. I bet you can still see the blobs too <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I would imagine the cloaking is to protect from sensor sweeps and the inevitable siege turrets.

    the only prob with 1 hr games is that in clanmatches its not feasible because NO ONE has the time to waste 4 hrs on 1 clan match ;p

    i'm sure what flay has done will be good ^_^

    [QOUTE]- Sensory chambers are now automatically cloaked, and they cloak other alien structures in range (including hives, resource towers, offensive chambers, etc.)[/QUOTE]
    Hrmmm, whats the point of cloaking hive?

    So you cant siege it?
    So commander cant see it?

    Do aliens get cloaked to?

    "OMG, he dropped a D tower! We're screwed, stupid n00b gorge..."

    A short notice for anyone complaining about the '11 minutes' aim: That's an average value. Keep in mind that such averages take 15-second-rushes and the whole other mess into account. The effective round duration may come down, but we'll still be far from CSish rounds.

    When it says "Transforming first-person view " Does it mean AVP style view when wallwalking?

    Im pretty sure a scanner sweep will uncover all cloaked aliens/buildings

    in either case, it should be an interesting patch ...

    I love it,

    but nothing about the 1 hive onos thing, I really liked that.

    he, (k, english not great, I assume stomp is like onos hitting the floor real hard and unbalancing marines?)
    onos: hmmm, marine coming *stomp*
    marine: auch, WTH was that, I'm all dizy
    onos: Let's have some lunch *runs around corner*
    marine: omg !!!!
    onos: *chomp*
    marine: mmmm mmmm mmmmmmmm (translation: u ***** let me out)

    Or the skulk silently comping marine from behind <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
