@Talesin I actually prefer the new skin, fits better with the ammobox (which they should redo anyway so it fits with the new medpack <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> )
Well, as far as I've noticed the ladder fix seems totally borked. Might be me playing with 150 ping though.

Overall lookin good. <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Ever tried commanding with a green medpack? From commander mode it looks too similar to a catpack/ammo pack. The white reskin makes it much easier to distinguish.
Has anyone commented on this yet? What do they mean by that? Will aliens have "increased visiblity" or will marines be able to see then better? If the former option is the case, how would they do it... dynamically changing FOV? Like the FOV gets wider when you pass a certain speed?

Marines will be able to see them better.

If some people didn't get upset with each release, it wouldn't be bast.

That's for cloaking...
I'm of course biased, but I'd argue that the cloaking tweaks will remove a lot of the abuseable aspects without of hindering 'first-strike' capabilities too far.
I got the same kind of hitreg problems in this version. Sometimes you can get clear shots dead on and the alien doesn't seem to take any damage, kills you and laughs at you. Wonder what's the cause for this )':

i thought that everything was reverted back to b5 hitboxes, how would that cause problems?
btw, is there a server comman to show hitboxes? like the cheat command in css? if now, perhaps the dev team could implement it to possibly help in tracking down the problem.
