<div class="IPBDescription">Not to be taken seriously</div> Ok, i'm bored and i'm waiting for something to download, so I thought I would start this post.
You must reply with answers to this question:
"What do you think natural selection 1.99 would be like?"
You can reply seriously if you like, e.g "A flamethrower that works"
But i'm hoping to get more 'silly' replies like "OMG MAREENS WOULD GET RAILGUNZ!!111ONE!!"
Here are a few of my own:
Marines <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif'><!--endemo--> : Will have railguns, lasers, mounted guns, guns which take 2 people to fire, a flamethrower, vehicles that you can drive around, portable sieges, a gun which is an official counter to onos cuz it killz an ownoz in 1 shot!!1111 AND AND A SKORPIAN THING THAT HOVARS WITHOUT FLAPPING, AND A GUN WHAT KILLZ EVERYTHING IN THE MAP BUT ITS BALANCED COZ IT TAKES 3 YEARS TO RELAOD AND AND HAND HELD GR3NAD0RZ AND YOU CAN PICK UP TURRENTZ AND HIT AN ONOS WITH IT AND ARMOUR WHAT MAKES U UNVINSABLE AND IT COSTS 10000 RES!!!111ONEONEONEONEHUNDREDANDELEVEN
Ahem
To balance this aliens <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif'><!--endemo--> will have the following:
-Gorges will be completely invincible (for all the people who complain gorges are too weak), skulks will have 500 armour and the devour ability. Also, all aliens can eat marine corpses to heal up to 100000 health in one go.
-For all the peole who complain onos is overpowered, Onos will be severely nerfed, it's attacks will be Umbra, Parasite, Lerk bite, and Babbers (onos babbers of course).
-For all those complaining about lerk bite being removed, in 1.99, ALL aliens will have lerk bite. Also, lerk bite will do 200 damage and heal the user, but it will be balanced because it will use up all your energy.
-For all those complaining about babblers being removed, in 1.99 ALL aliens will have Babblers. But to make things more interesting, the Babblers look and act like the alien type they spawn from. I.E, skulk babblers will run around, bite stuff and say "OMG NO CARA YET??? F4 F4!!!11ONEONE", Gorge babblers will roam around building mini-wol's (the chambers they build will be half size) and farting (they also have the gorge's 'fart' attack). Lerk babblers will fly around, make bird noises, and poo everywhere to distract the marines, Fade babblers will not be imlemented until Version 1.991. Onos babblers won't either because i'm getting tired of typing.
-Singing chambers (as mentioned in the "Freaking ridiculous ideas thread") will be implemented, and can be set to play either Britney Spears, S club Seven, Spice Girls, or the Teletubbies theme tune through the other team's voicecomm. The hive will also sing like Cher when attacked, killing all marines instantly, or at least making them <i>wish</i> they were dead.
-For those who complain the hive is too weak, the hive can now get up and walk around (which means it can, of course trample marines to death). It can also eat the marines and laugth evilly. It has an infinate amount of health and can only be killed by the power of love.
Several changes which apply to both sides:
For those who complain someone is hacking with no evidence at all; anti-cheat systems will automatically perma-ban anyone who has more kills than deaths at ANY time. If they are better than you, they are CLEARLY cheating.
The ready room would serve refreshing beverages to cater for the needs of both human and Kharaa customers, including 22 types of beer (for the humans and possibly the oni) and 15 types of nano-sludge (for the aliens and possibly the marines who dont mind being horribly burned). This will, of course, encourage ready-room idlers (well, they're not idle, they're having a pint) but that won't matter since servers will be able to host 10,000 player games with no lag at all. Also, everyone will have permanent 100 fps, even on a 286.
*Hides in flame proof bomb shelter*
(Not all of these ideas were my own, several were inspired by the "Freakin' ridiculous idea thread". Do not think of this as a blatent thread-theft, think of it as a tribute. Please.)
(and no, I don't think this belongs in off-topic since it is NS related)

How bout a scoped sniper rifle that has an xray vision scope that can see and shoot thru walls but can't see thru lead walls?
How bout a remotely flyable Sentry plane/helicopter with Stinger missiles that has a random chance of shooting at marines because of bad code that runs it?
How bout a full sized helicopter that you can get in and fly with 3-4 other passengers, however it can't leave the room its in because the doors are too small?
How bout a chaingun that takes 10 secs to powerup before it fires but can 'tunnel' thru walls like in Red Faction?
Instead of a flame thrower how bout a spraygun filled with DDT that 'burns' the Kharaa that touch it's spray? You could cover the whole map in it to limit the Kharaa's movement.
How bout a random rifle jam that makes all marines gun not shoot?
- Marine knife now changed to lightsab0r. Does 99.9 damage, but has a 20% of cutting yourself in half (to balance it you know).
- By n00bie request, the scope on the LMG now works. Hence you can use it as an Uber AWP.
- New anti-n00b technology! Anyone who starts a chat message with "how" will automatically be perma-banned.
- Due to popular demand, marines have more useless stuff:
Porta-toilet, Deckchair, Set-top box and mini-dish to recieve sky digital, a vacuum cleaner, a computer (so your marines can play NS), an X-BOX (note: due to it's size, the controller can be used to bludgeon Onos to death), a fax machine, escape pod (so marines can run away), a steering wheel so that you can steer the ship into the sun if the map is set on a ship, three french hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.
- The new alien class (Skorpian that hovars without flapipng) has the following attacks: Lerk bite (compulsary for all aliens), burninate (by popular demand), Broadsword, Melf's acid arrow
Also note that version 1.991 will be released on the half-life 3 engine.
lolfighter: Hey, saving all these res was sure worth it!
lolfighter: how would you like two hives going up simult...
*** kicked by console ***
NSPlayer: Where did our gorge go?
Plus, offence chambers should be able to fly and chase marines.
Also, to get the onos babblers (Slot 4) you no longer need to get 3 hives, you just need to get two onos to hump!
(Only one of them will get babblers)
Oh God, bad image...
You've scarred me for life, hope you're happy now. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
The teamplay weapon will be like the UT 2003 link pulse gun , but called the "quantum wave plasma torch" : linking particle flows increases the burninating effect of the first shooter , to let them wreak havoc in the overcrowded hive room.
The nuke will be reintroduced , but would be priceless : instead it's a neutral item at the center of the map , usable by both teams. Fades or GL marines could carry and throw it to their teammates if threatened. The goal is to nuke every hive or command chair. First implemented in ns_anubis.

Just wondering, where they indirect attacks at America's Army? I remember in an old version, the sniper rifle had bad code and randomly hit things. And also the large number rifle jams. Just wondering.
My Ideas for 1.99
Gorges only have to lay one web across a hall. The web grows itself exponentially. After 20 seconds, the hall or room is covered. 40 seconds, the halls or rooms connected to that one are covered, 60 seconds, the next halls or room... and so on...
The implementation of Bullet Time into the game. Aliens can dodge bullets and marines can dodge spikes, parasites, and paralyzing things.
The Hive can be used like a Comm Chair. Only gorges can get in though. Once in, you can take advantage of the hives telekinetic abilities and fly marines around and smash them into walls and drop them down the holes and things.
When Skulks have Celerity, smoke trails and flames follow them around.
Marines get a new Drill weapon, they can drill tunnels and caves around so they can make their own route to the hive. (Does not work for maps that take place on space ships. IE: Nancy)
New Shape Shifting evolution for aliens. Can form into anything you want to. Costs 3,000,000 res points to evolve.
New female models for marines. Look like Japanese School Girls with short skirt.
Giant robots for marines. Can bust walls down and carries a really large gun.
Thats it... I'll try to think of more.
You can now enjoy

All day long !
But i have to say it : You're weird
<!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Sims Selection..
Now invite the ONOS over for a BBQ in your fully decorated house.
Now control your marines as they must eat, shower, clean and use the bathroom...
Marvel as Fades and Marines live together, (though watch out when fights break out)
Walk around the hive to see how the gorges have cleverly decorated it.
New careers including: Devourer, Space Cowboy, Hair Dresser (Edward Fadehands anyone?), and of course skulk-walker....
Coming to a download site near you....

Seriously, why are we fantasizing about 1.99, and why are we being so unrealistic? Sheesh.
I bet you'd all be lame and stack DC's in the cockpit though, wouldn't you...
lol. New sig! This is such a great comment to take out of context <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
wierdness. It doesn't like sigs 300 chars long. or 299 chars long...
Lvl 0 upgrade: normal damage
Lvl 1 upgrade: Teeth/claws/horns are armour piercing and ignore armour completely
Lvl 2 upgrade: Teeth/claws/horns can shoot out like lerk spikes, doing the same amount of damage they usually would. Naturally, the teeth/claws/horns instantly grown back
Lvl 3 upgrade: As above, but teeth/claws/horns are heatseeking
More pointless errors!
Natural selection has far few bugs, so we decided to add some more.
-Ns will now regularly refuse to connect to a server. There will be no aparent pattern to when it refuses to connect, you just have to keep trying every 1/2 hour and hope it works.
-Skulks will be horribly unbalanced and will have jetpacks
-Anyone using AOL will instantly be kickbanned from every server. This isn't actually a bug, more of a punishment for those foolish enougth to use AOL.
-Hives will randomly explode
-Commanders will be able to be killed if an alien looks up and uses a ranged attack, hence screwing the game up becuase the game thinks the chair is in use
-Gorges will die for no reason if they try to put an rt up from the wrong angle
-elevators in all maps will randomly crush passengers halfway up
-A new "I am a lamer and I want to crash the server" button will be included. This button will, of course, crash the server. The theory behind this is that it will make crashing the server so easy no-one will bother. (naivety alert)
The ability to purchase rooms on the map, and whenever someone from the other team runs through, they have to pay a fee in res. if they don't have enough, they die!
New alien, has ability to go straight through any solid object (No Clipping). Can also shoot spikes through walls at marines.
New Shrink Gun for marines. If an alien is shot, it shrinks to the size of a chicken nugget. Marines then have the choice of shooting it, stepping over it, or knifing it.
