    The Sabot matchmaking is relesead. The system goes on-line October 12th, 2013. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Sabot begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, October 13th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug...

    Normally I'm not one for sensationalism, but you got me this time, on my favorite game no less, I'll be there!

    (It's totally matchmaking)

    It'd better not be orange pantz for my Fade... I've ordered purple pantz way back before NS2 was even a thing!

    Last time there was "something massive" about to be announced, it was the skin for the female marine that everyone already knew was coming.

    So I will be stopping myself from getting too hyped until I actually know what it is.

    This time it is the genderqueer model.

    Sorry, but that was so underwhelming! I don't care for fucking events... "every player will be affected?" Get real, guys!

    Bloody waste of time!

    Begging for cash for another NS2 comp.... Yep, that will have a big impact on the game for the next six months....

    aaaaaaaaaand it turns out I was completely right not to get my hopes up

    0/10 announcement, gg

    I am confused. It has "never been done before"? But you already had a tournament that was global. We had Australian, Asian and South American teams (the few that exist) in the Summer cup and that other one with ARC v Nexzil in the finals, didn't we?

    So what's the real difference? " the community contributes". But they already did in the Summer Cup. So the only real difference is having another two teams live.

    Unlike most, I am excited about this. It's not matchmaking (this tournament would be a good way to celebrate it) but I suppose it's something...

    Still - that was quite terrible sensationalism.:P

    Completely disappointed. It´s so sad :(
  • CCTEECCTEE Join Date: 2013-06-20 Member: 185634Members, Reinforced - Shadow
    I mean, I love competitive NS2, I've done my fair share of shoutcasting competitive NS2, I love the tournaments, and so on, but honestly asking the fans for $30,000 to run a tournament instead of $30,000 to hire some freelancer to make the game better seems like sort of a waste, especially with the Reinforcement program ongoing. NS2 is a tremendous game but the competitive scene needs performance increases and better balance, not a chance to fly to Germany.

    If they do both i'll be happy :)

    Badge + lottery tickets for the same amount of money as the Reinforced badges only? Good I waited to get a badge :P

    Yeah this doesn't affect the majority of players who uwe should have been focusing on instead of this competition rubbish, sorry but as much as you may hope nothing noteworthy has or will ever come of it, ns2 is just too small for that, but well done for letting the majority down once again, it's disappointing to see how ns2 has gone, people wonder why it keeps losing players, perhaps if they had thought more about pub play and included stats, rewards, matchmaking etc which is expected nowadays things would be different, oh well...
