Information Burst?

<div class="IPBDescription">Curious..</div> I wonder.. Will there be a large burst of information just before the release of NS 3.0 containing a complete list of changes and new features, along with screen shots, new concept art, etc.? I wasn't around for the transition from NS to NS 2 so I wouldn't know if that's something that is done here. I think it would be good, like, a week or so before the release. I'm sure it would build up anticipation and whatnot...

Thoughts, opinions? <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif'><!--endemo-->

    We'll probably end up releasing the new manual before we release the game, so that should have every detail your heart could desire.

    There is also at least one juicy surprise that will probably make it into 3.0 that we haven't announced. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    We all know the surprise. Well, at least me and beast do.

    I probably shouldn't say this, but i will. In co_faceoff, in the rather sexy readyroom, you can slowly climb up to the top of the big slopes. Then turn and hold crouch and it's a SUPER HAPPY FUN SLIDE!!!

    I'm sure that's the surprise Flayra means... sorry i spoilt it guys!

    OK, I'm done. But a flamer would be cool, and we know that it is possible in HL to have a volumetric flamethrower that doesn't cause uber lag - it's just very hard to make it look anything other than utter tripe.

    what kind of info could possibly be given at ths stage that isnt already known?

    well i suppose there are a few things that not everyone might know about. but theres no sense getting riled up over soemthing that is still subject to change before release!

    in fact flayra may have added the flying scorpiAn but removed it due to balance issues, and if i were to post a screenshot of that... well, there would be hell to pay.

    You see, its easy. The secret is that marines now have the ability to THROW their guns at the aliens. Like the taste of 50 armor piecing explosive rounds? How about me throwing my 5 kg gun at you afterwards HUH HUH. What you gonna do alien, hump my leg?

    How did that _not_ move your screen around?! I've already turned off all scripts like that, what more can I do?

    Oh wait, Firebird bug in latest versions... nevermind.
