Beta testing continued this month, feedback from the beta testers resulted in the return of an old feature from our parent mod Rival Species, crouched aiming. Players now have the choice to stay mobile and less accurate or crouch down for a more accurate shot. Beta feedback has gone into improving the game balance too, our testing games are now closer and more compelling than ever.
The last of the planned HUD elements was added to EX for this months Beta. The new HUD element shows players their team's mission as the game progresses. Typheron continues to develop his map Dig Site, having overcome corrupted map files, an IRC ban and and his AOL internet connection to get it to us.
Finally we would like to thank the (highly productive) Foot Clan for their final set of sound effects they contributed to Exterminatus and wish them the best of luck with their new projects. If anyone is interested in finishing the few remaining sounds EX needs please get in touch (I shall be getting back in contact with earlier volunteers this month).
Great Mod, I hope they finish the closed beta soon!!
Looks so awesome! Cant wait!
So on the stats screen, I'm assuming the tyranid class "Fex" is a carnifex?
yes it is
i hope this becomes popular or i'll never get to play it. :( living in australia kinda sucks sometimes. absolutely no servers.
I hope it will be balanced with suitable player numbers
Possibly 6-8 Marines, 8-16 Tyranids
With Tyranids Respawn time at like 3 seconds
and
Space marines at 5 or more
As migb says it's planned to be balanced 1 on 1, with additional wargear or brood creatures being handed out when one team outnumbers the other.
Nope, it's a 1-1 match, meaning 1 tyranid equals 1 marine.
I know the team considered an asymetric solution, but decided to do this instead.
There is a Tyranid class called overmind, which control a number of hormagaunts or termigaunts, so the Marines will be outnumbered.
This looks cool. As a Warhammer 40k fan I´m looking forward to this. And Tyranids?! W00T!!
Hope somebody want to play the Tyranid, Im all i for the marines only!
The maps need more grass I think.. And Details..
Hell yeah people want to play tyranids, me for one :)
you wont be laughing when im 12 foot tall and have gigantic claws :)
HIVE MIND!!!!
