Here's a shot of me, spawn-camping the MS of co_angst as a cloaked skulk. The marine on the left is Flayra, trying to figure out where that parasite came from.
dont wanna be a parteh-poopeh, but dont the maps look...err simpler and lower quality than the classic set? Does this mean I gotta decide between hardcore action and cool looking maps? <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

the maps are of less quality imo because they are focused on the action... much faster paced with games ranging from 3 to a maximum of 5 minutes. spawns are real close to eachother so far so your always embranced in full fledged action .

IT was ok but there were some bugs with it, so placement of hives was a bit of an issue. Cant remember the link, but it had joe in it, i know that much ! I think it was www.joe.jp or somethin like that. Dont hold me to it though
Are those the ranks from that one guys post in the original NS:C thread? Minion, Attacker, Exterminator, etc?
EDIT: Found the post: <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->With regards to Rank...

Also, gorge should definitely be in. It's a healer and support class. Just think of it as a medic, it can hide behind enemy lines and back up rampaging onii.
However, in my personal opinion I would rather see Marine Vs Marine gameplay first, rather then this. But if this comes first then so be it <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Or are they already like that? I noticed 'minion', but I dunno.
There <i>are</i> ten ranks on the forums. Are there 10 in the game? It sure lookseh like it.
Then again, some people might not want to be queen.
(monkeybonk's sig)
Well it wouldn't be <i>completely</i> useless, as it would deny the enemy experience.

lvl 10 alien -behometh
lvl 10 marine- general
lvl 7 marine - commander
lvl 2 marine- first class private
lvl 3 marine - corporal
