Secret Features In 2.0

Maus · July 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">speculation here, mes amis</div> Given that HA came completely out of the blue for 1.0's release, and that there's been a lot of hinting at things us lowly non-PTs aren't allowed to know, post your speculations here for what surprises are in store for us in 2.0.

---

I reckon (from Max's comment in the minimap thread) that maybe we'll have a working minimap by release, though that could be a long shot. Anyone have other ideas?

Daxx · July 2003

Heavies never came out of the blue, they were anounced and the first screenies were released back last July/August I belive.

Theres apparently and egg that concerns a certain "hovaring" function, but thats unconfirmed <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Other than that, I imagine that most of the eggs will be map related, like Bast's Alien message.

MrMojo · July 2003

Maybe hidden options unlocked by special key presses ( like in ut2k3). ;D

doubt it. I think a lot of features (weapons/buildings/mapchanges) will not be revealed before the release. They have gone out of the way not to let it all out so I think it is reasonable to assume they will keep things bottled up.

Mastodon · July 2003

Maybe a special option to replace all Marine voices with quotes from <b>Aliens</b> and all Kharaa models with Sygourney Weaver models.

Just a thought.

Biomechanical fembots that serve cold beverages in the ready room. Just you wait...

Mastodon · July 2003

Oh, machine gun jumblies.

MrMojo · July 2003

I got it ! Instead of NS it's called AF = Alien friends. You can join with aliens to dance and play poker. Out soon on a pc near you.

Quaunaut · July 2003

::**** shotgun, readies grenade:: DONT! NO ALIEN FRIENDS!!!

Bwahaha BURNINATED!

The secret feature will be Ready Room related.

DiscoDuck · July 2003

You mean besides being able to jp/wallclimb/whatever ?

MrMojo · July 2003

Omg, lolfighter, now I'm REALLY looking forward to 2.0

Yeah, besides that. Notice how we kept hearing a lot about the Ready Room, what with all the stuff about keeping your abilities, then suddenly it all dried up? It's a giveaway, I tell ya!

NOOB! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

It's on the bridge of ns_bast. If you've seen the movie "Alien" (aka, AvP) its the same message that Ripley reads from the main computer in the movie. I can't remember the exact text, but something about the crew being "expendable" is the main point.

As for the exact location, you can 'use' the command console in the middle, infront of the chair. Its brings up a holo projection of the message.

Another egg on ns_bast is the secret room in the Ready Room. But I'm sure you know about that <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

OMg, Fastfood!! What a brilliant idea <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>
Yes I am very hungry.

MrPink · July 2003

I heard the icon for the release is supposed to be "special"

BlindFire · July 2003

It would be cool if there was a hidden option to replace all marines with fades (just the apperence, and only for the player entering the console command or whatever). That looks funny, seen it, but it was due to lag. When a new game started, several marines would look like fades holding LMGs for a few sec, they actually held it with there claws! I almost fell out of my chair!

Lazer · July 2003

It's called swapping model files.

Now what is the secret room in bast?

Daxx · July 2003

Its in the ready room, inside the Observe Match portal.

Lazer · July 2003

And this is bast? Not hera?

Nil_IQ · July 2003

/Me feels like a nubbin for not knowing all the easter eggs. (I knew the hera one)

I actually only discovered quite a useful vent leading from feed to atmos just recently, I can't believe I never saw it before!

Chr0n1c · July 2003

Daxx your thinking about hera...

Infected_Marine · July 2003

Don't forget the 6 pointed star behind the wall of the Hera Reception location in Hera...

" Ensure arrival of alien organism. All other considerations are secondary. Crew expendable."
