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 loved polio. I distinctly remeber one round where all marines were dead on FOB on Solaris LZ1 and i asked around and they told me it was a bad case of polio and i thought that is so cool that there is sickness (APC was still around btw)
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)
