Does anybody else get annoyed at the swear filter because you feel compelled to try and figure out what they said? Please try not to swear. I have nothing against the words but I hate seeing "****" all the time. LOL
omg, PseudoKnight, that's exactly what I thought when I read Weasel's post <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> I was gonna say it, and then I saw you already did
You know what they say... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

sorry to interrupt your questions hour Shzar, but now I have a question as wel <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Thanks for the replies, fellas. The reason I ask is because of one game I was playing when this jp/shotgunner was attacking our hive, so I spored it to keep him off of it. I was later informed in a most rude manner that I should've used umbra, but I had my doubts...
and heres a tip... grenades go THROUGH umbra!!! so when you attack a hive thats got a lerk umbra spamming it, drop a gl! it works wonders.
i played a game were we lost just cause the comm wouldnt didnt do that. our attack took longer than it shouldve and it didnt succeed. if we'd had a gl, the lerk wouldve been gone (and the gorge on top of the hive healspraying it).
Umbra in 2.0 isn't that very effective since it doesn't block the ammount of bullets it should, 2 out of 3, instead it's 33%.. in 2.0? Umbra was fixed in 3.0 to work as it should be, so Umbra is weak in 2.0 atm <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Another Q, If someone is standing point blank away from an alien with a shotgun, inside umbra, would the umbra still block the pellets? or does the marine have to be on the outside of the umbra for it to work?

yea
I was gonna say it, and then I saw you already did
That doesnt explain why you 2 think alike <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Yes, it does. But remember: Not all bullets are blocked by umbra.
