I get why they got rid of escaping from nests, but I think hive building was fucking peak during that time.
So many memories.
Cloningā¦ I remember building cloning machines in that tiny room beside hanger.
New Sprite Update causing hivelord āwalkā sprite to be fully invisible
Ghosts could LOOC things
Staff had to return you to lobby to change your name
The Atmos system barely worked, borking itself leading to a round reset, not only that but also being able to install kill aliens if you messed with atmos.
Old lifepods didnāt function, it was pretty much three long hallways
Evac pods on lower ship didnāt launch because it would screw up atmos
Bullets could be shot in a straight line in front and one tile above and below you
^ ā Bullet
O ā Bullet
Hugger combat relied on req sending helmets to prevent hugs (m10 combat helmet could withstand a single hug before being replaced)
Iron Bears would pretend to be friendly then try and take the ship
Death squad was Apesuited commandos
CLF and UPP didnāt have exist
Staff would change the ground map and for a week you would play that map. No votes at the end of rounds
CO was a unwhitlisted listed role
(No BE, but sometimes noobs would get in. Never had a MAJOR problem with unwhitlisted CO surprisingly)
80/20 winrate sucked ass. Last stands are cool but only when they happen organically
Engineering on each map was required to be held, otherwise no power for anyone
Rounds would last 3 hours or so on average
Abrams from normal SS13 weāre still in code and could be placed on people
Equipment was from lockers instead of prep windows. Some dick would steal a extra pair of gloves or something so every person would then be forced to search other lockers for it resulting in shortages of equipment
Squad req lasted a bit, SLās would vend the squad some equipment
Tankā¦
There are also the people of that era that were great. Xur gave me my nickname

I joined at the tail end of Engi Bell use and APC. Now losing Qc, blood/iron changes, āRTOā title change, and the flip flop on having the autodocs I see that the cogs of change do crush.

can we fucking remove grenade restrictions? I miss req being accidentally blown up by PVT baldo or someone misclicking the grenade causing a panic

Sadly this was put in place because trolls would join and blow up stuff you cant rebuild (generators, cic consol, etc) then rejoin and throw more
I do miss it though

Why can we no longer strap C4 to ourselves?

these trolls rarely exist.
You cant already fight back easily if you get caught off guard by someone shooting you fast.
Also can just code the computers so they are actually fixable.
IIRC we only got this grenade restriction because of jakk blowing up briefing or that one time when there was a grenade griefer shipside.

Man I remember a few months ago when the Briefing room was split into four rooms for each squad. No spot for the CO or XO to give orders so I donāt know what the idea was behind that. No one used it, hanger was used during that whole time. Didnāt last long before it was changed back.

We didnāt even have the hangar briefing markers years ago. I never really understand why people try to have briefing there. Most people are trying to stack chairs, barely anyone comes because itās so close to the DS they just go and sit in there, and itās small.

But because itās that small and cosy, the marines canāt escape when the MPs start shooting teargas.

The MPās canāt escape if they get caught in the middle of all the marines.

Who cares:
MPs shoot with teargas at marines during briefing
Marines form a lynchmob
Suddenly all marines drop unconscious
MOOC: Do not harm the MPs, or I start handing out bans!

I remember my second or third time playing CM I accidently armed a grenade during briefing or something and ran into maint and blew myself up because I didnāt know what the hell to do with it.

'Member when we were afraid that Disney, the new owners of the Alien franchise, would come after us for using the Weyland Yutani branding for the company? We had to call it Weston Yamada. God what a stupid time.

This is still kinda true! You will notice the wiki uses the ācourruptedā sprite packs because no lawyer is going to play the game to learn the server is using normal xeno sprites. Or mentions of āThe Companyā and stuff.

Ah, thatās why the wiki has these strange sprites, I always wondered why nobody just copied the ingame ones.
