Flayra is adding in walk however apparently. Not being a pt or dev myself however, I cannot confirm or deny this information. I can only relay what I have read elsewhere in the forums.
what possesed flayra to change that?

Because think about it;
Marines before owned the vents more than the aliens did.
Does this make sense?... I mean, aliens really have no upper hand, and that definatly makes it rediculous.
You can kinda duck-strafe and suck-baclkwards move tho. But its like......slower then it should be.
Why can you crouch and move, but once you stop, you can no longer move forward?
At least be consistant, and make it so you can never move forward while crouched no matter what.
Rather than limiting the ability of marines to crawl in vents, why not just make spore a little more effective?
The disadvantage marines have in vents is that they can't move quickly. All you need is a brave lerk and you've got a couple of free kills. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> It would be even better if spore could be made volumetric.
Lerks could become the official vent clearers <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->.
This would keep the option of a sneak attack through the vents open, but it would make it a lot more risky. If anyone noticed you, you'd get gassed, and there's no way you'd get out in time.

That would be a great way to get yourself stuck. Why not just make marines without a jetpack always use the clipping hull of a standing marine, even if they're crouching?
And volumetric spores... I like that idea way better. =)
