Now that is impressive stuff. I am guessing they use dynamic mesh building and overlays to pull off the effect itself. Complete with collision no less.

They definitely have engine access. Licensed Source Engine?

I yelled "no" when they said natural selection was gonna cost money, but I'm now extremely happy to see like the ship, their access is going to good use!

Well when I read that whole article I was blown away by the idea. The infestation seeping over computer terminals and turning off power in certain areas till they fight the infestation back. Knowing exactly how far they have come in the levels. Just sounds awesome.

I want to see a mech for the marines so the ones can eat them but the weapons is weak and PLANETS I AM SICK OF SPACE STATIONS!!!

I think it was well balanced. Mariens easly dominated early game, but soon the aliens could over run the mariens having a cahnce to strike back, then the mariens get back with heavier weapons then by late game, after mariens and aliens struggle enough, if mariens cannot kill the hive, squads full of onos's wins the game.

It gives each team a completely diffrent play style, gives each one an advantage without giving them over-powered abuilities, and encorages teamwork without having ot devote yourself like you need in empires.

marines allways get stormed at the start and I want if no robot that heavys cant be ate!

Eating someone is a very rare occasion. You may be stormed quickly but just hit them. I know they climb on walls and such but it's not that horribly hard.

ROFL

Oh and , there's a huge difference between classic and combat. You should specify that when you mention things about the gameplay.

I think they went for Source engine because they got the license for free. Also there developers read the suggestions forum and even comment the ideas given there so there adding some fanbased ideas in 2 if its fleasible.

Well its got my buy, I cant wait!
