Metroid Online - Pre-release Party Post

and instead of crouch, why not a long jump/double jump?

Or maybe something that would actually work, like a dash. You could call it the speed booster :U

the ice beam is pretty powerful on isolation O_o
tbh, I think you need to reduce the number of times it can bounce to avoid spammage (which happens alot in large games of isolation slayer).

the wave beam doesn't seem that powerfull too :S

also, on Talon IV, the vine things that hang from one of the rocks that make the steps are only visible on 1 side.

I don't like how far away the water plane is from the face of the rock, especially since you can walk behind it and see that it's only a single plane. You might want to put the water plane a little closer to the rock, and curve it around so that you can't really see behind it.

Oh, it would be completely pointless and aesthetic, but would it be possible to set up the waterfall to give people white screen flashes, and simulate the visor steam in metroid prime?

It's not an Ice Beam. Our mod does not HAVE an Ice Beam, and if you've ever played any Metroid, you'd know it acts NOTHING like the Ice Beam. It's our custom beam, the Havoc Beam. Please try to maintain comprehension between these two from now on, since it's been said at least 20 times in this thread alone.

The wave beam is just as powerful/balanced as the other beams.

Welcome to the world of scenery: it's a piece of Halo scenery, it only has one side to it.

Yes. Are we? No.
I really don't think you guys are going to see that version of Tallon IV for awhile, since it would make more sense for us to get a version that actually represents the real area in the game. That, and, it'd be nice if we didn't use Halo textures and Halo scenery all over the map to fill it in.

I might revise my stance on that, but I'd like to think we could release something in the maps department that actually is worthy of the mod we've worked so hard to create.

Needs more Server (No one can join my dedi for some reason).

[Huero]

Needs more rebalancing. Although I did notice that charging the wave beam and then destroying them with the fire beam is a great combo :3

pardon me oh lord odseraphim, I didn't know that (I havn't used an ice-beam in an actual metroid game and that's what I was told it was :| )

Then maybe you should finish Super Metroid you twat.

Yes. Are we? No.

All the visor effects were the coolest thing about Metroid Prime, sad to see you shrug off an opportunity for more atmosphere so easily.

I dunno if this has been mentioned already, but it appears that the top and bottom sections of the HUD are cut off on widescreen resolutions. I'll have screenshots of this tomorrow.
