polio was peak cm and you know it

Everyone is thinking it so I will just say it. When the coders in their high castle patched out polio they BROKE THE GAME. Honestly, I cannot understand why anyone would conceive of removing it. Polio was LITERALLY perfect. The game is SUPPOSED to be scary… what is more scary than randomly a round results in everyone being perma stunned when they fall over?

Forget 2 larva caps and removing the XM51, the removal of polio was a travesty. It was an affront to all players, xeno and marine alike. All these baldies now coming in and complaining about this and that change - they don’t know how it really was. Polio was perfect.

I will not be taking any questions. Thank you for your time.

it is a joke. polio was a very bad bug that sometimes affected a round, causing anyone who fell over to be perma stunned

I sadly never had to experience polio, but from what I’ve heard from everyone who has, it was the best (allegedly accidental) feature ever.

We should add it back, if you ask me.

Yes, IT WAS ME!

The best part: the root cause of polio was because of monkey AI. If they got stuck doing something forever (e.g. using a sink, then getting handcuffed while doing it), it would cause the server to lock up and shit itself (ergo polio)
