Can't hit me alien!

Tomodachi · August 2002

<div class="IPBDescription">Just a simple question....</div>Do aliens have any type of range weapons?

humbaba · August 2002

dang you........

Bile is made in one of the lesser organs, I can't quite remember but it's on the tip of my tongue, it's one of the bodies forms of chemical digestation.

Tomodachi · August 2002

Bile is made in the liver and store in the gallbladder. It's a enzyme used for diguesting food, it breaks down protein molecules such as cholestoral and fats so the body can absord the nutrients. When bile is first introduced in the the stomache it is a thick green mocus but it turns into a yellowish color as it breaks down protiens. Sounds like a acid just made for breaking down flesh, doesn't it. Who would of ever thought that stuff I learn in HS Biology would come in handy. That would explain why its always green when monsters in games spit them at you, its not acid it bile!

JediYoshi · August 2002

Oh...

DexMachine · August 2002

Cholesterol and fats are not proteins <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>
and bile actually INCLUDES cholesterol in its mixture

perhaps you meant carbohydrate?

Warcraft 3 rox..... did anyone else think 'WTF have I done!?' When they completed the first campaign?? heh

I don't know about anyone else, but I am worried about when marines get jetpacks. I mean, flying with ranged weapons is incredible.. especially if the aliens are the best at melee fighting.

Hopefully the jetpacks don't hold enough energy to keep out of reach of the gound-based aliens for TOO long at a time. Or that most of the areas aren't really that big so that marines can't jetpack to the roof and rain hellfire down on the helpless landlubbers. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Legionnaired · August 2002

Well thay always have Lvl3's, and, of course, their own Anti-Air attacks.

Dan_Forever · August 2002

Bile just has thta ring to it that goes well with alein weapons doesn't it?

Thats quite ironic actually, naming alien weapons after human bodily functions <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>

Evil_Sonic_Death_Monkey · August 2002

XyberBob · August 2002

Snake13 · August 2002

bile is made in the spleen and it breaks down fats into their base elements (lipids and fatty acids)

MutantMFM · August 2002

WOw the aliens have some interesting long range attacks. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

parasite - goes into enemy and all aliens can see him through the walls with out a alien having to see him

Gwahir · August 2002

written in a slightly confusing manner sbv

Just think of parasite as a homing beacon planted on someone. I'm not sure, but I think that aliens can also see items in that marine's view.

Parasite is ranged, and yes, it does a small amount of damage, so it could be classified as a ranged attack, however its incredibly weak. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Mark my words:

Within the first week that NS is out, I WILL kill someone with the Parasite "weapon".

Can't be much harder than killing a HWG with a crowbar while playing as Sniper. =P

My sources say 'No'.

Longtooth · August 2002

Its going to suck being parasited as a marine, you are pretty much marked for death.

h2o · August 2002

damn the aliens sounds more of the noob class now..

Xerxes · August 2002

Don't forget that Level 1s can climb walls, so if a Marine on a jetpack isn't careful, an equally airborne level 1 can make his little aerial bombardment nothing more than a flying snack. <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

Speaking of which, just gimme a large anvil and a jetpack and those level 5s are 0wnt! w00t!

Can't hit me alien!
