It's too bad that the article is inaccurate at best, and (to stay in line with Wikipedia's brutally anal guidelines, I'm sure) completely ignores a great deal regarding the game.

You... aren't? One instance of the game is hosted a dedicated server, the other is playing on it.

As stated in the 1.5 thread, the laser won't be making it in.

Sorry for the late response... right now we're pretty much good in terms of manpower, though the offer is very much appreciated.

AI has never quite worked online - fixing this may or may not be practical in the slightest bit.

They are - and they all look absolutely terrible. I think I recall reading somewhere that PM was never able to get the laser working quite right, which was why it wasn't included in the game in the first place.

Something of that sort is probably outside the scope of the project.

So suggest them - that's the entire point of this thread, we want to know which maps you lot like. :P

I don't think the shield itself is going to be adjusted too much, but there have been some ideas tossed around for making the jetpack more of a viable option to use against shielders - mostly having to do with making it easier to evade shots and such.

What could be interesting in term of gameplay would be to allow meccs to cary flares, grenades, mines and a syringe at the same time.. I think this would further imbalance fights between shielders and jetters... allowing all four items to be used at once would allow shielders to enhance their defen...

@ Z0PharX : I understand well what you are trying to do, I'm just pointing out that balancing the game shouldn't be made at the cost of the fun... Typically, the "sword bug" is part of the fun of this game, and it's not an instant killer. Just to be sure, when you added the delay for the ...

but to me there was no need to "fix" that. It's part of the gameplay... And you gonna fix rocket jumping too? :P Well, obviously not everyone is going to be pleased with every change... As for reaper mines specifically, the goal is to reduce their focus on relatively easy instant kills (t...

We demand maps!

We're going to include maps with 1.5 - preferably a lot of them, and we want your suggestions as to what you want to see included. Obviously, we'd only be accepting ones that are absurdly good and don't have any technical issues, or aren't otherwise overly gimmicky. Maps that have already been inclu...

Yeah, I was a shitty little highschool student back when the game came out, now I'm working full time in a hardware store... I want my goddamn youth back. :P

MMORPGs are the fu**ing devil, by the way.
