    Factions as a standalone, free to play game on steam would be fantastic, both in getting new players interested in NS2 and also providing a platform to play Factions. I really enjoyed that mod, but haven't seen it being played very much.

    Fingers crossed!

    Actually... wait a minute. The whole drop bears thing being a card game would make sense given Brians microtalk and his general love of card games.

    Mantle and TrueAudio support: confirmed!

    Gorge Race standalone. With Mario Kart-ish powerups. Bile to slip on and blue homing spiky clog that hits the guy in the lead.

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. Just wait for it before getting too excited. Whatever it is, it'll seem a lot better if you don't build it up in your heads.

    On twitter there was some mentioning of them wanting to put the assets they made for discovery to use at some point. I would not worry too much about it.

    Someone make them already. People are willing to drop $75-$333 on in-game pixels with a few extra goodies thrown in the mix. Going by that, gorge plushies would be out of stock by the end of day one on the market (Heck, even I would probably get one and make it into a PC hood ornament :)

    Maybe it will be an update to fix some things that are broken...

    For example:

    -The new force even teams vote - would be nice if it didn't crash the server so often.
    -No border windowed mode - would be nice if we could alt+tab again without it auto-minimizing
    -Onos stomp - would be nice if Onos stomp would reliably work 100% of the time

    Among many other little things.

    Why there is still a discussion going on is beyond me. it's obvious that people of higher knowledge and authority have leaked that it's a hughnicorn costume. gosh.

    Also, everyone's been re-assigned to deep-sea research projects (aka diving, but that's just silly) So nobody is in office long enough to actually make an update on ns2! ...what?

    I think it will probably be the balance change patch that was left out of 263 because of the NS2WC. I expect to see the changes that were mooted around before the patch was released in an edited state. Hopefully a few 263 bug fixes as well :D

    At the moment there are no plans to work on Discovery, unfortunately.

    If the map itself is not going to be worked on, were there any new assets created for it before the worked stopped?

    I sure the mappers would love to get ahold of any new assets they can :D
    There are some assets, yes. We may still have some use for them, though.

    I wouldn't hold out much hope for Discovery, although those posts are a whole 3 months old, so they could have changed their minds, but I doubt it.

    Like I mentioned earlier, there is pretty good chance the assetts may see reuse elsewhere in someway. Not sure what or how, but, I would expect it.

    I am picturing a miniature mushroom cloud of alien guts when it happens! I realize this would be a big waste res if it were real but I kind of want this to happen now.

    There is already a mod some NA servers have for Onoscide. It's pretty funny.
