tbh I can only think of a few other fps's made in the past 5 years and they are all pretty much about being as realistic as possible.

I mentioned 2 games that have a sci-fi theme and a way to jump and increase speed.

I'm not even saying ns2 needs bhop. I'm just saying developers do still implement it intentionally when they feel the game will benefit.

2009 - 2002 = 5? Sorry you lose. CPM is even older.
The point is, it doesn't exist in new games.
my bad, didnt think about the year range 
your right though. the system helped to define the success and/or style of the alien play. if you could bhop, you could get around faster and thus be more helpful. otherwise you might as well put a weight on the w key

What about on slopes?
this made me laugh.....

It might be interesting to note that

Our gut says $20 but we're not sure.'

We got over 1000 unique hits the day NS2.com went up.
Re: Natural Selection 2 "What we know" Megalist
just for the mega list in case it hasn't been picked up, cory dropped some info on turrets
The current plan for the turrets is:
--beefier, more powerful then NS
--cone of fire, so it matters where and how they are placed. They can be rotated by the commander when placing
--probably won't be able to be knocked down, as that causes all sorts of headaches
--possibly can run out of ammo so the commander needs to keep an eye on ammo count and reload them
--no turret factories, currently
--will be linked to the power grid
--I haven't talked to Charlie about upgrades for the turrets, so I don't know if any are planned or not
--no talk at the moment about alt fire, though it's an interesting idea
Please keep in mind that the above is all subsequent to change if deemed broken, annoying, useless, etc. based on adequate playtesting and what Charlie feels is going to work the best. So, please refrain from too many "OMG, they are ruining NS, it's gonna suck!" comments.
Thanks.
--Cory

Re: Natural Selection 2 "What we know" Megalist
awesome, thanks. I'll update tonight... got to add in the skulk video anyway.
Re: Natural Selection 2 "What we know" Megalist
Hey, a couple of things for your megalist(great work btw):
Max updates us on netcode.
Dux wants to add secret readyroom rooms.
The pics of the new frontiersmen are in-game renders.
Dux updates the system specs slightly.
Dux also mentions that skulks will be able to bunny hop.
From the new interview(October 7, 2009):
"Commanders can affect the team through team resources but also have their own units and abilities that are all theirs."
"We’re not sure about vents but yes, all doors are now weldable ...
This also means that we have less doors on the map (about 7-10). We’re currently planning on having the Commander do all the welding through his “builder bots” instead of players doing it from the ground, but that’s not definite ...
One trick with doors is we have to be sure that even if all doors are welded, players aren’t trapped anywhere and can still access all the resource points and hive/command-station rooms."
From the twitter:
"Refined marine tech tree some. Now have Armory add-ons for Adv. Weapons and Exoskeleton/Jetpacks. Also have dedicated MASC lab."{link}
"Brainstorming "dynamic" musical themes which are looping tracks that layer together. "Marine", "Shotgun", "Room powered down", etc"{link}
"Working with Cory to help design a 'lockdown' mode for the heavy/exoskeleton (lower recoil but must fire in one general direction)."{link}
"Oh, I forgot to mention that we're planning to allow the heavy/exoskelton marine to dual-wield miniguns (yes, seriously!)..."{link}

Ahh, sorry about that. Apparently the post link button in the UWE forums is relative, so it used the base search url instead of the thread's actual URL. I'll have to post that in the Website Feedback forum. The links should be fixed now. Also added bhop post.
