Lmg's Are Powered By Windows 98! Proof Inside!

blackjackel · April 2005

<div class="IPBDescription">no wonder the aliens are so overpowered.</div> Before the flame wars start... this was all done in good fun =D

Anyone else other than me see the resemblence?

Ive seen this since NS first came out (1.0) but i finally decided to post this. If this has been posted before, then my bad =D

Lt_Patch · April 2005

Would that be suggesting that a Linux-powered LMG wouldn't run out of ammo?

Bad Linux! Windows FTW (less kickings) *pre-empts the flames and runs from the room*

blackjackel · April 2005

ya lets not turn this into a "linux is better than windows" or "how dare you! windows is better than linux!!!" or "i'm going to hurt you all because cupcakes are better than donuts damnit!"

DarkFrost · April 2005

Next you'll tell us its powered by cyrix =/ (ofcourse that could never get out of the testing stage, as a speck of dust on the LMG would cause it to jam completely, and thats nothing compared to what would happen if the room temperature was about 30 degrees at time of firing)

BigD · April 2005

I hear they tried a mac version that looked REALLY good but wasn't compatible with the comms ammo packs.

bassport · April 2005

Well at least I never encountered a malfunctioned or overheated LMG with Win98 installed on it! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' />

Did it randomly turn off, and delete the trigger too? Essensially turning the LMG into a nice looking door stop?

No, last time I heard, they decided that our 2 triggers were not good, and so they made the choice for only one!. Utter madness if you ask me!.

Either that, or the Mac LMGs are so chic, that only "yuppies", and publishing houses would use them. Or American's <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

*edit*
If we can't turn this into a Windows vs Linux fight, can't we turn this into suggestive metaphors about how much better PC's are, over Macs...
*/edit*

DarkFrost · April 2005

Of course, there would always be the ever leathal irritating noise the LMG made when you readied it with a new clip.... that you just can't find the off button for.

I hear they fixed the problem with the clip transferring fake bullets to the firing chamber though? But there is still no reliable way to remove the clip from the gun, where the hell is the button to eject?!

Lt_Patch · April 2005

But then again, people who wanted to use both the Win LMG, and the Mac LMG would be s*** out, becuase the two are so hopelessly different. Which is where the Mac LMG is so close to the LMG that the Penguin-Lovers use. So different, hopeless to try to use 2 of them at the same time.

Are the WC sequences even the same?

*edit*
WC mean Weapon Condition. a sequence of numbers given to the sequence in which ammo is loaded, and the weapon made ready for firing. 0 being the bit just before you point, and spray...

PRTe · April 2005

does that look like windows? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' />

more like an lmg clip

blackjackel · April 2005

its simply windows in black and white...

The same type of screens that watches use.... liquid crystal or whatever.

dont deny the conspiracy!!

omgomg! windows 98 logo is realy a LMG clip, but how can it be that way?that means ns LMG was pre windows 98 time.

Redford · April 2005

Maybe you should tell that miniature marine to stop standing on the barrel of your gun instead, nub!

DarkFrost · April 2005

I thought it was meant to be the clip reflected on the guns display.

CaptScum · April 2005

<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /> Uh.... Ok. Upgrade LMG to Linux or Win XP

SinSpawn · April 2005

I don't get it...are you saying it looks like the windows logo...if so..then no...you are just crazy.

Curve · April 2005

It doesnt read the clip to begin with, plug and play yeah right you have to turn it off and on again.

Lt_Patch · April 2005

Now remember, when upgrading your LMG 98, 98SE, or the much broken LMG Me, to the new LMG XP, remember to apply the LMG XP Service Pack 2 to it. It gives you all new features, like a little bubble to remind you to always wear you personal armour, despite LMG XP SP2 coming with something that resembles personal armour. It will also remind you that you need to keep your anti-Snonos rounds up to date, and will tell you to carry them around with you all the time, even on your R&R, when you're nowhere near the Kharaa.

Better yet, LMG XP SP2 will also keep your LMG XP up to date, will all the latest upgrades, however, we will be marking a minor visual, and sound upgrade for your built-in LMG Media Player, as 150% critical, and will tell you that you will die if this update is not applied.

However, if you wish to disable the little bubbles, they will come back in force after 30 seconds, and if you refuse to keep your LMG XP up to date, then we will not help you fix it when it breaks, at least, until you go to your local Compu-Global Hyper-Mega-Net store, and do all your upgrades...

Had to do some sniping...

Cereal_KillR · April 2005

Yeah honestly I don't see the Windows logo. LMG clip yes, memory stick, maybe, keyboard possibly, but I don't see any windows logo from any angle.

keep_it_Gangsta · April 2005

The MAC powered LMG was great to look at, except commanders complained when it cost 3 times the res to get ammo upgrades.

DroneFragger · April 2005

the Windows logo is streched, so its like a smear.

Also

Lmg XP recomends you download all the service packs and anti-kharra updsates before restarting your lmg. Without doing so, your lmg may become infected with para-ware, and cause annoying pop-ups and jamming of the weapon.

Drummer · April 2005

you also forget that the Mac LMG, while looking all flashy and new, and costing triple that of a windows LMG, the Mac LMG shoots arrows instead of bullets, because they were more concerned with making the scope all pretty and smooth instead of making it compatible with the latest ammo

Lofung · April 2005

w00t the heck
thats why i get a blue screen when i shoot <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad-fix.gif' />

DroneFragger · April 2005

Lmg Mac doesn't have a cliup, as all clip is contained in the casing of gun. The same goes for the additional weapon upgrade ports.

Sky · April 2005

This is what happens on slow news days. Release the rest of the BUS details, and this'll all go away. The spam is holding the forum hostage until then. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif' />

[ April 11th, 2005 ] :: NS v3.1 announced (Nemesis Zero)

We are pleased to announce that work on Natural Selection v3.1 is progressing nicely. This update will features the first public implementation of Unknown Worlds Entertainment's 'Nexus' System, about which we will release more information over the next weeks. NS v3.1 will also see a number of improvements, <i><b>such as a Windows RG Edition LMG</b></i>, aimed to make NS more intuitive as well as a number of optimizations.

We have also begun to research the efforts and challenges involved in a port of Natural Selection to VALVe's Source engine (Half-life II). So far our results have been mixed but with some positive surprises in terms of the artwork. We hope to begin asset creation relatively soon. There will however be no decisions on the code and the initial scope of the Source port until after v3.1 is released.

Your change to the update will confuse many people, as there are people who don't realize it was a joke.

Yeah it's a good thing you warned people. That could have been biblically disasterous with all those people thinking a Windows RG Edition LMG was being introduced in the next version.

DarkFrost · April 2005

The sad thing is, even tho this is one of the funniest topics I've seen in a while, it will probably get locked, shame =/
