Sorry if this has been answered, but I was wondering if the Dynamic Infestation system would be in the full version of NS2. It looks amazing and I would love to see it ingame!

    WOO! Thanks guys, any idea how it starts?

    Is it something like the infestation starting in the hive room and wereever it spreads, the aliens can build in the infested area?

    It's just cosmetic for now AFAIK, some people have sugested it giving bonuses but right now you can build wherever you like.

    no details on its functionality... my guess is that you are right about aliens only building on the infested areas but that would suck for gorges not being to put their structures down wherever they please. maybe if they give the gorges an ability to drop infestation creeps (im totally ripping off SC2 now :P).

    I think it's more like the infestation spreads out over an area around where alien structures are built.

    From what I recall the dev's saying, they have a version of it that has been working, but it is not implemented in the alpha currently. There hasn't really been anything said about how it will work in gameplay. I've made a few posts of speculation (DI is a huge feature to me). There was some talk from the devs over 6 months back about 3 levels of DI. Each level would give more benefits and cover more space. The last level was to also create more cover (DI growths) for kharaa players.

    I remember the devs saying that the plan to have DI to cause powerfailure as it spreads throughout a station and give perks to the Kharra. DI is also a big feature that im really looking forward too.

    Oh god yes, this is something I was looking forward to as well. Can't wait for the game to get to that development point when it is rolled out.

    I remember reading this as well, apparently Marines can combat the DI with flamethrowers and whatnot. Should be awesome.

    Just wondering as I've haven't seen any reference to this; I know DI won't be in the alpha, but what about the beta?

    ...there was also some no-promises talk of the infestation sealing doors, deactivating systems, and possibly getting thick enough to choke normal-sized hallways down to winding vent-like tunnels, giving the aliens some natural defense advantages over areas they've held for some time.
