Longer Endgames When Aliens Lose..

Dopple

<div class="IPBDescription">What happened to these?</div> Remember the good old days of 1.04 when the marines JP/HMG rushed the last hive, but an enterprising gorge was hiding somewhere in a vent next to a DC to counter the 'ping of death'? Marines would have to search the vents, or if the gorge had /stuck outside the map (like the window at subspace in nancy), they would have to siege it.

Now, it seems that whenever aliens lose and the ping of death kicks in, the aliens accept their fate quietly and just die.

I miss 1.04. Why the short endgames?

It can still happen, but I'm glad it doesn't happen that often. Boring.

Aliens go sensory or movement first instead of defense so there are no healing chambers to hide by and the aliens die off quickly. I dont see why you'd miss that though, its just an annoyance for everyone involved.
