Game Length

Precious

The shortest game I have play so far is 45 min. (I did play one game where the aliens rushed and killed marines in 1 min)

I have been playing nonstop on a couple of different servers and all the games are long stallmates that go back and forth. Has anyone else notice this? What happen to short games?


a couple of these games aliens went from having all three hive, back to 1 hive then coming back to win!

I concur. I've seen 20+ minute games so many times. The time passes so fast that I'm often wondering why the hell we are at 40+ minutes! 40+ minutes feels common now.

I can never seem to remember what me and my team have been doing all that time, it does not feel like 40 minutes, but the scoreboard speaks the truth. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

people still are playing 2.0 inefficiently. Give it more time. You cant expect the fastest games barely a week after release now can you.

For all you know, people will just become more efficient at forcing stalemates.

I've played some games under 20 minutes. And they weren't that short because one team was just stupid, they were short because the other team attacked with the force and teamwork necessary to overwhelm their enemy.

And I was playing on ns_caged earlier today. I was alien, and marines were dominating us. It wasn't so much that they were running all over us, but anytime we secured a hive or got an outpost up, they came as a TEAM and took us out. We weren't playing bad. They were playing <b><i>smart.</i></b> I think it's already starting to level out.

Witzner, you may have whitnessed the start of it, but it will take time before its common place enough. Players really need to give the game more time. Any 1.0 veterans should know that already.
