I think hydras are good as they are, its not like you miss em anyways and they are not obstructing everything you see now that they can placed walls etc
Definitely looking forward to tomorrow to check everything out, how the res works, how the movement feels, and just trying to see how everything works. Hopefully I get to be in with a good bunch of guys to check it all out :)
I'm honestly very impressed, that's a working game I'm looking at.
Kinda figured the alpha would be a bit more ramshackle than that, but that actually looks playable, maybe even fun.

Hell I like the damage numbers in borderlands, I figured I'd hate it but it actually is quite nice, like you said it gives solid feedback and adds a nice finishing note to killing something, rather than an unceremonious ragdoll which is sometimes hard to see.
Ever since someone said the NS2 LMG sounds like a helicopter I just can't stop laughing when I hear it. I just picture Arnold in "Predator" screaming: "GET TO THA CHOPPA!".

as someone who uses helicopters on a bi-weekly basis I dont see the resemblance
If so, I'm sure someone will mod it. ;) Although I kinda like it as long as they don't popup all the time and not in the annoying Modern Warefare way...
Are Hydras are weak as they seem? Not that it's a bad thing, if they're priced accordingly, but they seem about right size-wise if they're down with one clip.
Remember, gorges aren't the main builders anymore, so Hydras will expectedly be much more common than OCs in NS1. I just hope that Hydras are viable structures.

Keep in mind that when I was shooting those hydras:
1. I just barely got away with it - see my health and armor. 2. The hydras were also distracted by the commander chair and pummelling it with shots - not just me. 3. I had a friend show up and tag team with shots about 2 seconds after I spawned. 4. I have m4d sk1llz og og og!
In other news, I am an amazing natural cinematographer. Who knew?

So what are all the abilities that will be in the alpha? What will the commander be able to do? Are these the only abilities: drop CC, drop armory, drop IP, drop RT, drop turret? Are there med packs and ammo packs in this version? What are the alien commander abilities? I don't really care as I'll be there, but I'm trying to convince a friend to buy the special edition before the deadline.

I also don't really see it much.
As I recall the NS1 LMG sounded like someone put 20 ball bearings in a tumble drier.

+1 for popup numbers.
Hell I like the damage numbers in borderlands, I figured I'd hate it but it actually is quite nice, like you said it gives solid feedback and adds a nice finishing note to killing something, rather than an unceremonious ragdoll which is sometimes hard to see.
Sounds perfect, then.
This game is going to be great. I hope they introduce hats also, I love hats.

agreed, i would even say double the size actually... make em REALLY intimidating
