Hiya, new user here on the forums.
Im in oldschool fps gamer, since 98. Been playing both competative and casual, now days i play for fun but usually get to a quiet high level of gameplay since i love dem games!
I have been playing the beta quiet alot the last weeks/months, and really starting to enjoy NS2, since the performance is getting better you finally can start doing somthing good :P
Anyhow I've got a few thoughts about the game, they have probably come up before, been reading around some but i'll state em anyway. Feel free to comment.
Team/Player balance.
REALLY a big issue if you ask me. Alot of the games ends up with stacked teams, and often a quick end. If you are unlucky the server will go on with stacked teams the whole day.
I understand that people are new, the game will balance out, this issue isnt really just for NS2 but games in general. But i feel that NS2 is so dependent on a good team that something needs to be done, maybee force all random on pub servers? Ofc this wont fix it but it might screw with those who always follow the winning team, or the "good" players. A healthy mix is always needed.
Classes/Weapons usage.
Well, this is beeing discussed alot on the forums, this is too good, thats i too bad etc. Well weapons balance is always something that is needed to be adjusted over time. But as today i feel that some classes/weapons are really to overused. Fades and SGs seem to be the thing to use, and well its really nice to play fade, quick and fun. SGS do much dmg and if you confident in you aim you can almost down any alien. I would like to se a more evenly used class/weapon choice throughout the game, i dont really know how this could be achieved, but i just hope we dont end up with a game where the goal always is to be for example a fade, or marine with sg+jp/exo.
Ill end this with some short ones.
* Serverbrowser needs to be enhanced, would love a que function since i usually want go play on the same server.
* Grenade Launchers delay is really too much, and no it isnt my latency, got usually 15-20 ping and a good comp, 60-100fps.
* Skulks/Machineguns are too weak lategame, would like to see something added to these, maybee that you are able to upgrade the mg and skulk.
* Peoples awareness of what makes a team win a game/be able to do a comeback in a game is too weak. Maybee some tooltips during the game, for example if you team is loosing something bout "try take out the enemy teams RTS, upgrades bla bla.." so newer players will understand what to do especially when fighting from a loosing position.
Well this is just random thoughts so far, really enjoy playing NS2, and when you get two even balanced teams, nothing beats it atm. Really like the heavy usage of voicecom ingame even thou i dont use it myself :P
Hope to see you ingame.

-Yeah, we definetely need a 'Remember to kill RTs'-Tooltip!
-We need Res for kill.
-GL delay seems to be the same problem like the Gorge spit has. It's always been like that.
-Server Browser needs <i>much</i> love, true. Use Fsfod's Menu Mod if you want quick fix. It's much faster and has more functions (even the auto retry-function)
-Skulks or Aliens in general need Focus for late game, I think.
EDIT:
-If people are stacking and you call yourself a good player, join the other team. I do it this way. Someone has to start.
-And yes, with even teams it is the best Game that's out there. Epic rounds and battles.
