LOL SO TRUE<
i think it will just allow gorges to move from hive to hive.

Word is, they'll be physical tunnels underneath the map. No teleportation or anything. Kinda like move-able vents underneath the map connecting any 2 points. Also word is, marines can enter them too (just like vents) :-D .

No oni, no exos going in there.

That is crazy!

I wouldn't mind seeing some heavy gun emplacements or some other gun options like the Heavy Machine Gun or something. Or maybe an ammo upgrade like High Heat Rounds or something for LMG.

You would have to balance a buff like that

Pretty sure we're going to be seeing absolutely no major changes after the descent/tunnels/railgun/babblers/weldable doors for a while.

My guess is the new things will introduce a lot of new balancing issues, rage, and will take about 2-3 months just to settle that down... then they'll probably do another xD.

Funny thing is, they're hiring a game designer to improve balance and depth in NS2, so I think Charlie's realizing he needs a bit of help with that...

Instead of more mechanics, how about more optimization and a new official map. (Since no1 uses the player made ones...)

Mid-feb for one new map (Descent) .

yeah i like jedi's idea on the heavy gun,i think that would be interesting to see how that would play out
