<div class="IPBDescription">A simple discussion</div>I wasn't sure what to do with this topic, so I threw it in OT. Though version 1 is still in works, though seemingly close to being finished, I was curious to know what sort of ideas are planned/desired/up-in-the-air for v2.
By now we should all have a really good idea about what is and isn't in V1, so any comments on V2?

aliens vs aliens game type
stuff that was dropped from version 1
my maps
Lv3 perching ablitily (like a bat can)
New fgd for mappers <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->
Maybe my mulch_dm style map
I can't really think of anything else right now...
pwned.
As long as Confucious can't show me his degree in computer sience, I'd rather stay with the good old 'regular update' strategy, thank you <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->
I always wondered about that.
Also, can aliens open doors?
I'm not trying to bug the Dev team, just wondering what people have been thinking about it. Didn't I hear something about a marine ability something along the lines of beserker rush? Tweaked for balance of course.
it would look like this

Exactly what were the un-serious ones?
Maybe fades should have the ability to pick a location and then teleport there (a bit like UT's teleporter). Obviously the location is reset when he dies so he cant just jump into the fray. Itd be more useful for returning safely to an area and maybe take more energy than normal teleports.
common, you gotta a bunch a marines running around who need to EAT, POOP, and freshan up every now and then... pooping in a john will give you like an instant 50 health, and then if the aliens attack the john, it "flips over" and and....
ok, nevermind, maybe Ill just map a bathroom and a caffeteria...
@toppic i think it would be interesting if we had tanks for outside levels, maybe a few more alien tyoes (meaning sth. like different races, that evolve different, which would be cool also). but that would take even longer than v1 did, since you have to create a better physiks engine for cars, and outside levels cant be too big because hl has a not good enough engine <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
Mmm...maybe those marines could reproduce in the same way? Of course they wouldn`t use alien queens but human sex slaves.
Perhaps not on v2, but somewhere down the line a third race sounds good- but it'd resemble SC and AvP all the more.
Suddenly I get this happy vision of 4 marines welding a small mech together... oooo. I can just see the balance issues =P
Alot of mods have started to use this system and it works great if you ask me, adds alot of effect to the gameplay.
The first mod i've seen to use it was FLF and it still works nice.
For those of you who dont know what im talking about, here's an example.
Player1: Enemies here, ehh in that big room to the left.. furnace something! <---- No locationtext.
(Blast Furnace)Player1: Enemies here! <----Locationtext
See how it simplifies and shortens the actual line you have to type?
power armour and overwatch back?
ot, what got cut, the faqs seem a bit...dated...
bot:
w/out actully playing:
Marines: vibro knife: allows slicing of doors (opening welder functions only) + knife stuff
Power Armour: none of this regen crap, just allows j00 to cary more Stuff
Deploable explosives (mines)
LL and Thermo Vision
Laser Sights
Belted Backpack feed for the LMG and HMG (a la Wolf Brigade)
Aliens: maybe a flying version of the lerk gun?
deploable explosive pods (mines)
Floating sentry drones?
He is busy 100% to release Beta 1, so why should we possibly give him more to think about?*
