Beyond 2.0

MrPink · July 2003

Now that all the features for NS 2.0 are pretty much in place, has the dev team given any thought to what they plan to put into the next version? I was hoping to see a few new gameplay types <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=Search&CODE=show&searchid=3702b28cd3de8b6f14ef393afa0bf755&search_in=posts&result_type=topics&highlite=game+types' target='_blank'>(examples)</a> and a few new marine weapons and/or structures (flamethrower!?!?).

Snidely · July 2003

For the next "big" patch after the little 2.0 patches, maybe they'll put in Marine vs. Marine. I guess it depends how happy they are with the balance.

I also hope Flayra does experiment with "recoil", like he hinted he might (somewhere on the BI board). Not "proper" recoil, mind you, just increased accuracy if you time your shots instead of sprayin' and prayin'.

Kuroneko · July 2003

I'd like to see NS move to HL2, but ofcourse, thats what everyone wants

Forlorn · July 2003

A 3rd race, perhaps? This is really far into the future.

one group of aliens/marines working together against another group of aliens/marines?

So it tryes to push up then tryes to push down, training will result in accuratcy on full auto.

I really hope he takes a nice long break, for the poor guy's sanity.

Snidely · July 2003

What I'm really saying is that if you pick your shots, you'd be more accurate. That's why I put that "recoil" in inverted commas. (:

Majin · July 2003

I say after the minor patches that will no doubt need to be added to fix balance or bugs; Flayra needs to sit back and play his own game, not to fix it, just to enjoy all his hard work!

Then after he gets his relax time, he gets back to making this game into his baby and add all the ideas that weren't ready for 2.0

What is all this "<3" stuff about, anyway? I've seen a lot of people just post "<3 [randomname]" for a while now, and I'm still no closer to working out what it is.

That and he'll (hopefully) be porting NS to HL2 (assuming its a good/great/etc game). <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

It now looks somewhat like a bird. One with a sharp beak, so it can't be a duck. Maybe a **** of some kind. A blue ****, perhaps.

The swear filter doesn't like that kind of bird. How speciest.

I'd personally like to see Flayra take the HL2 engine, liscence it for a million bucks, and then make a MMORTS with NS :-)

Not gonna happen... but it nice to think about.

Snidely · July 2003

It's a heart? Thank you. Now I may rest. But ****, Cheez!, you lied to me! Why, Cheez!, why? ):

You have to admit, though, it does make a convincing mouse...

Personally, I'd love to see NS on HL2, but wouldn't it take ages to transfer everything across? Once NS is "finished", it'd be great if it was ported over. That'd give Flay something to do. No rest for the wicked! >:D

<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>---Edit---</span>
The abbreviated version of "dammnation" is filtered out, but the proper word isn't. Hmmm.

Cheez1 · July 2003

Well if you were up to date on you hl2 info, you'd know that Valve has informed the mod community that they are trying to make the hl2 engine very hl1 mod friendly. By this they mean that you can import your mods into the hl2 engine and not lose everything you did pre-hl2. Sure you'd have to re-work the graphical areas of the mod but at least you'd have most of your code!

Of course this still doesn't mean that it's easy to do...but at least mod makers won't have to start from square one.

Snidely · July 2003

I know about that, but to be honest, I'm very sceptical. I'll wait until we're closer to the release before I begin to believe it. The fact that it seems to sport System Shock 2 type Scary AI for its monsters is too much for my brain to handle alone; if we get to see HL1 mods converted quickly as well, my head will burst.

Wither · July 2003

Maybe multiple 'factions' of TSA? If anyone ever played Warhammer 40k, just think about the space marines and their factions. I'd LOVE mission based maps, as in retrieve an artifact from a hive location, capture a gorge cause he invented a new chamber, starting from a dropship, you move out with 8 guys or more and if you die you respawn next round. 1 guy has a net or capsule where they have to capture the gorge in, 'stunguns' to stun the gorge and then the net guy needs to move in, etc..missions, marine vs marine, alien vs alien..imagine.

Maian · July 2003

If NS is not going to ported to HL 2, the changes can't be so radical as to force major revisions on all maps. So multiple resources probably won't be implemented <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

MrPink · July 2003

I don't think we are gonna be seeing a new race until HL2, and even then it is an almost certain no. There are only 3 weapons that can be added to NS, and a 3rd race would really mess up gameplay (two teams gang up and destroy a one team, then that one team gets to be spectators for the next half hour)

MrMoFo · July 2003

i think 3 races would be sweet
