Flayra has given Vets and Playtesters the go-ahead to post about NS:Combat.
Just thought it would be wise to create a thread to keep future screenshots in.
So go ahead and post all those screenshots you've taken, Vets and Pts. I'd also be interested in seeing images of the co_map(s).

Due to the increasing stupidity of people in this thread, I have had to add more rules:

edit: RULES:

Please Refrain from Showing any screenshots of the Scoreboard. One was
quite sufficient thank you.

No more questions asking when 3.0 is coming out. NO-ONE KNOWS!

Try to limit posting in this thread to commenting on screenshots. Less talk, more screenshots. You get it?

This thread will probably look rather silly empty, so here is a screen Flayra posted in another thread:

looks fun
edit: why is someones name blurred? looks like its someone we all know and love...

Er...ok? you reposted his screen and called it a thread, norn .

Shush you
Give it um...a week..yeah...

Cleanup in aisle 5. Cleanup in aisle 5. Thank you.

i like

Highest level is 10?

Just one word: WOoT!

I orginally posted this to the private beta forum, but now that we are free to share

A screenshot that perhaps embodies what Combat is all about

bahahahahahahaha, that is Flayra... saying a nauty word!

I'm the onos in that picture, and was stomping those marines for about 30 seconds, waiting for some backup. Flay was one of the marines and let go of that comment, teehee.

Great fun!

(in case you're wondering, the aliens won that about about 20 seconds later, as that is the marine spawn )

Just allow an "upgrade" every level. You can choose to get carpace level 1 when you first level up, and then regeneration level 1 in the 2nd. Then level 2 regeneration in the 3rd level up. Etc. You could pick and choose any upgrade (not just limited to one per category).

Can you share any info right now or are they still restricted yet?

Gorge 210hp?

AWESOME more than 1 skill per chamber!!!!

and hows the gameplay with gorge? conisdering there is no building?

Its lookin fun.

But lets make sure that combat won't be all that 2.1 is about, and that 2.1 comes out before the end of....october?

*Cough* Gorge = Ambusher now lol (Can see it at the bottom of the screen there. Same with skulk which seems to read Attack? Maybe Attacker? Attach?
[EDIT] Nm, guess the Ambusher and whatever names are a name for your level [EDIT]

Now on to multiple upgrades. If lets say an onos were to get, lets say... CARAPACE, REGENERATION, AND REDEMPTION IS THERE ANY STOPPING HIM?! It's like the mega unstoppable onos.

So, if you die do you keep all your upgrades as well as it having that level up part? or just lose it all?

Me and my 170hp, lvl 8 skulk about to chomp down on Grendel . You can see on the right all of my upgrades, including leap being shown.

That is also a new map, co_daimos, made by Hypergrip.

rofl I can't wait to try combat!

yeah..looks nice! it´s a little bit like roleplay

all upgrades for my alien? nice...

i want to play that nice one ****

Wow, that is looking really cool now. Especially the multiple Kharaa upgrades, very very cool.

/me smells fried marine against multiple upgraded onies

say u take the defense chamber upgrade you get 3 carapace, you take for your 2nd level defense chamber again, you'd have lvl 3 carapace AND level 3 regeneration

The first pic...looks...er...not quite finished/good.

Isn't redemption useless then since you spawn back as whatever you were anyway?

its VERY unlikely to see many oni.

Well, lemme rephrase...... "elite" skullkah skillz with multiple upgrades is a scary thought...

*Merged* the two NS:C screenshot threads. Might as well concentrate all of the NS Goodness ™ in one place.
/me rushes off to do homework to get back to another attempt at properly installing NS:C

Crazy looking gameplay! CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY!!!!!!111one but still cant wait to play it .

Combat looks really fun, but i have a feeling alot of the servers out there are gonna be combat based.

Well, I dont think I'm ever going to give into running NS:C on any of my servers, looks too biased to me. Ah well off to NS 2.01 again.

Weee I can be the true superskulk at last ^^ I can't wait. At all. I WANT IT NOW!!!!111111oneoneelevenmillionandthree

Well, as I'm writing this, I'm also installing NS, again >_>

Looks neat, hope it's not too overhyped in the long end though

Reminds me of going creeping in a WC3 match.

Awesome.

That looks amazing, I think the idea of being a "Super Skulk" is just cool, I assume u have to choose between evevolutions and upgrades?

Marine in sewers of co_daimos

w00t! Flayra added the ranks

Dont already be giving suggestions when it hasnt yet been released to the public

Maybe you should make the levels the ones on the forums?

[Hatchling, Beast, Foul Beast (not too sure about those), Minion, Dark Minion, uhhh Dark Queen, Hive Queen, Hive Keeper, Sire, Dark Sire]

Or are they already like that? I noticed 'minion', but I dunno.

There are ten ranks on the forums. Are there 10 in the game? It sure lookseh like it.

Then again, some people might not want to be queen.

(monkeybonk's sig)

At this point in time I've seen, Attacker, Ambusher & Exterminator. I don't think it is the same at this point in time

Well it wouldn't be completely useless, as it would deny the enemy experience.

Why not?

(This is not snippet I just don't know what the actual rules/level progression of NS:C are)

just so you all know the names are changed ill just list a few off my head

lvl 10 alien -behometh
lvl 10 marine- general
lvl 7 marine - commander
lvl 2 marine- first class private
lvl 3 marine - corporal
those are the only ones that i can think off, but its so darn fun you wont be paying attention to what your rank says ^_^

Here's a shot of me, spawn-camping the MS of co_angst as a cloaked skulk. The marine on the left is Flayra, trying to figure out where that parasite came from.

That SS reminds me of the movie HollowMan

dont wanna be a parteh-poopeh, but dont the maps look...err simpler and lower quality than the classic set? Does this mean I gotta decide between hardcore action and cool looking maps?

These maps (especially co_angst) were slapped together quite quickly to catch up with Flayra having finished the code. I'm sure the officially released co_ maps will be just as cool looking as the standard ns_ maps, only smaller.
