<div class="IPBDescription">Or things you'll miss from 1.0x?</div> I've seen fades cost fluctuate, many bugs fixed, F4ing aliens for res, and the whole deal since NS graced us. Will there be anything you'll miss about beta 1? If so, lets hear it.

    Nope. 2.0 is what we've been waiting for, and its a superior game, with less bugs, and much more solid gameplay.

    If possible, try to avoid saying missing lerk bites and stuff like that it's not to whine about stuff <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I think the only thing I'd miss would be the alien "sayings".

    I have some reservations about the new blink, since I'm <i>very</i> fond of 1.x blinking. I'll also miss the lasers on the mines, because they looked excellent in-game. I suppose I'm not looking forward to lerks' primal scream (though I have my doubts about whether that one's true or not - there's been NO mention of it in beta info) because it's silly to have a tiny alien roaring like that, and I'm also hoping bilebomb will find itself travelling in an arc again.

    Oh, and I remain unconvinced that metabolise is at all worthwhile.

    <a href='http://marathon.bungie.org/temp/' target='_blank'>http://marathon.bungie.org/temp/</a> - Craig Mullins was/is an artist for bungie, he did the art for a game called Marathon and its sequels..

    a bit off track... but you asked anyway...

    Another thing I'll miss were the original unbalanced map designs... they gave a feal of realism...

    I'll miss blink for fades, isnt it being replaced with metabolise?

    AND YES I will miss lerk bite, thats not to say im whining, im more than happy to have 1 hive RANGED umbra! but that means I have to aim at the floor to umbra myself. I guess i'll get used to it.

    I'm going to miss chuckle spamming a lot. I loved chuckle spam. I used it tactically, as a weapon, to mask other noises, or to pull troops off the assault, or to lead marines into traps...

    Mixing chuckle spam with other alien sayings was also nice, variety in sound helped distract less dedicated marines even more.

    But everything else looks good to me, I think. Slightly worried about res-for-kills, but the testers seem to think its pretty balanced and works well, so I'll trust them.

    EDIT: Blink isn't gone, it's just been changed how it works. Bilebomb was replaced by metabolize, not blink.

    I'm going to miss using Leap to propel myself huge distances in the blink of an eye. Leap is still there, but it's no longer a pseudo-teleport ability.


    And umbra is still a 2-hive ability, it's spores that have been reworked for 1-hive.

    All because a lot whiners don't know how to crouch. Bleh

    Out of 99/100 fades I see only 1 actually blinks around instead of walks. Walking is for chumps.

    EDIT: I'll also miss the JPs. I don't see why a particular FUN aspect of the game was taken out. Something else could have been beefed to keep it in. Though I don't know if it's still fun or not. I liked zipping around the map but from what I hear they are glorified jump boots.

    EDIT2: I'll also miss flashlight humping too. <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Lerkbite, and I'll actually miss bhop. I couldn't dodge skulks before, and it'll be doubly hard now. If there was a way to get rid of silent bhop and keep unsilent, man, I woulda been all for it.

    But, other than that, bring it on 2.0!
