<div class="IPBDescription">Great fun!</div>Even though I am playing on a laptop at 640x480, just had an awesome couple of games on HBZ's server... The thing that made it awesome was that it was the smoothest couple of games I have played yet. I do really like docking because you can distinguish players more easily.

It was a great scrap between the two teams, aliens winning the first game and marines the second.

Feels like things are really coming together, and once the polish is added and the performance is sorted I think it will be awesome!

For me the smoother gameplay is really helping to be more tactical, so I can position myself in good areas and shotgun aliens that come round corners. It is hard when they come round and your computer stutters.

For me the basics of movement, aiming and positioning/location make a great fps. Especially when moving down corridors with your squad.

Keep it up UWE, great stuff!

    I agree. Keep in up. I can actually kill with a shotgun now. Most of my best games have been on the norcal server.

    It was pretty cool indeed, and my framerate was mostly constant =D
    (apart from one little spike, but that's not really that big of a deal.)

    Also, people kept killing me when I was playing as gorge. Why would they
    do that? That poor little piggy

    HBZ is annoying me this patch. Some reason when marines lose their second CIC, they still have jetpacks. Drags games way too long.

    Haha, you wernt the Gorge who kept spitting at the power node in Cafeteria were you? Had a continuous battle with that Gorge!

    I kept running back to the armoury to heal, and then I'd turn round and some Gorge kept spitting at the power node. For some reason, I just couldn't kill him. Even though I unloaded 4 shotgun shells into him from 5m away as he bellyslid back to the safety of some whips in Onos bar... this happened probably 5/6 times repeatedly.

    I even hid round the corner when he came back, jumped out on him, and even though I chased him all the way back firing into him... still survived.

    Probably carapace or something?!!?

    I like the HBZ servers, but people there tend to stack teams heavily. It takes forever to complete teams and then it's a one sided slaughter.

    Is that an HBZ issue? ;)

    At least the HBZ guys try to even the teams skillwise.

    Use the Voterandom command, even if you are in a Team you may get swapped to Aliens.
    Or catch me in Steam (Nick is Floodinator) and I will join the Server to do some random teams.

    HBZ - home away from home.

    That being said, it took long yesterday to get a troll banned. :b

    How do you catch someone on Steam? I mean you gotta be on their friendlist rite? (Steam user interface is really clunky sometimes.) Would be nice to have a quick way to catch HBZ members incase of le trolls. :p A votekick (with a 1hr ban) would also be appreciated.

    Well you have to add us in Steam, or ask on the Server if a HBZ member is online, alot of players are "connected to us".

    If you have a Troll on the Server you may record a demo (before you enter a server write record in console) and send it to us, so we can add them on our watchlist.

    Keep in mind it is summer and other things than NS2 exists for us so we aren't always online.
    We have some subadmins that are displayed the moment you join the Server, f.e. Dusteh, you may also ask them for help.
