Not necessarily, for do we not say "Man, that girl looks good."? (OK, we don't, we use pseudo-slang involving various imaginative spelling mistakes, but you get the idea.)

I can promise to you that it will <i>not</i> be small. In fact, my biggest fear is that it'll be a little too big an adjustment to many.

hmm. has it been mentioned at all by the unbeknownst? could it perhaps be discovered in the depths of the i&s forum? or is anything of its mentioning in any place on this forum? its hard to imagine what something so big could be. everything big i can think of has been mentioned. the only big thing that comes to mind is... nah it couldnt be... a flamethrower?

Nemesis_Zero · July 2004

The word is 'system', not 'feature'. It's supposed to add another layer to NS, not to enrich an existing one (not that there are not also plans for that).

[edit]And this concludes my hints since I'm starting to babble, which would not be met with much sympathy by those big, burly men Charlie sent after me...[/edit]

douchebagatron · July 2004

well flame effects could be a system somehow... and what about this systems mentioning? has it ever beem mentioned before? when i find out what it is am i gonna think, oh i read about that somewhere on the forums before!

and i do remember reading a front page update a while ago about giving mappers more freedom to make their own type games. like having a defend the base, or onii vs HA. could this be it?

How come I can see the 'edited by' message in my quote? =P

Also, you couldn't have a <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /> below the edited line anyway...

douchebagatron · July 2004

erm, also make the size=0 to make it the size of the editing print. and its best not to edit your post when u put that edit in there because its not right have 2....

Alkiller · July 2004

Hehe. I didn't want my inbox to be totally flooded with PM's so I threw in a little hint <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' />

ThE_HeRo · July 2004

The post with the fake edit or yours been quoted below you and quotes do not include editings.

douchebagatron · July 2004

i know, if you will take a gander at the times of the posts you will see that nem0 didnt edit mine until after those people had posted.

Forlorn · July 2004

I've know what the BUS has been for a couple of weeks now.

Hopefully it will help the two communities of NS (pub, clan) come together a bit more.

And no, don't even bother PM'ing me because technically I don't know what it is. Or do I? Besides, even if I did know, I wouldn't tell.

The_IRS · July 2004

It's probably some thing that does things to show things.

(I used the word things not to give it away)

Big_Fat_Duck · July 2004

i speculate BUS is some thing that auto-handicaps certain people dynamically based on skill and such

weggy · July 2004

I think the BUS will be that whenever a marine kills a gorge, the entire team is struck with grief and movement speed is slowed by 50% <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

The_Fluffy_Duck · July 2004

great so its "on hold" . thats a nice way of saying its been canned.

on hold = never going to happen

Online statistics, ranks and stuff?

Hey heres another one it sences everytime sombody says nub or noob and kills them instantly. That would bring the pub and clan seen closer together.

IceBaron · July 2004

A New Race!!! Flayra is going to call it Protuss (obviously for copywright protections)!!!

MEShootHere · July 2004

Well my guess is it may have something to do with the impending Source engine now about to launch for CS.
As far as I know it is quite "easy" (and i stretch the word easy here) to switch the graphical engine.
But if I *AM* right and it does turn out to be a graphical update I sure hope it will not eliminate a player base due to overpowering videohardware needs.

And anyway, asides from looking cooler, I don't think it would bring anything to the game.

Well that or the onos suit! 50/50 chance!

*** PS: I think "source" or the havok engine...just a wild guess once more tho!

cortex · July 2004

then rectify our fears by telling us what the BUS is <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />:D

umm yea Nem went back in time to edit your post...right...

anyway at first i thought it had to do with the NS company having some good news.

but then nem said it would be something hard for people to adapt to....what could it be?

Also if some one did mention it it would be edited...or would it!

O I got it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /> althought its not a system answer but the marines vs marines games <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

System answer? Sorry you lost me when you said system.

Reebdoog · July 2004

Well, after hearing and seeing alot about MvM and AvA maps.....

Align · July 2004

Those are made by mappers right now, nothing to do with BUS.

S2R2 · July 2004

I look at the posts that was so called "edited by Nemesis Zero " and realized a flaw.

If They where correct, He would not have "NUKED" your post, becuase that would make everyone think, that you had said the correct bus info.

They are trying their hardest to keep all BUS info away from the general population.

So any posts that are "Nuked" would be incorrect, to make the Bus a larger suprise, and to mislead people.

So if the correct info is posted then it will be in a unedited post, unedited that is by anyone other then the poster.

My guess on bus, It allows for maps to be changed well playing, building and destroying walls adding or removing elevators well playing. and other things along that line of thought.
So you could have a gorge build a Organic Elevator near a vent so the gorge could then go in without the help of a skulk.
Also the marines could build a poratable elevator, so the marines in HA could go into the prior said vent to kill the last gorge, and thus win the game.

Drummer · July 2004

that is actually a cool idea, making it kinda like red faction, but with onii! that would be cool to see an onos charge and break through one of the walls to a marine base and see all the aliens swarm in and rape them

thank you professor overanalyzation.

and i doubt that could be the bus mainly because i doubt that the halflife engone could handle that.
