Team Play What?

<div class="IPBDescription">just an observation</div> i was playing ns when it 1st came out as i'm sure a lot of us on here have, and was very much looking forward to 2.0. and despite any bickering i have <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'> with any of the <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'> updates <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'> i will say 1st off that i love to play this game! that's what's most important right? you can't really be mad about nubby comms because let's face it, even CS STILL has new people coming into its community. sure i think the one-hive- <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'> -with-devouror-and-redemption-because-they-put-up-a-defense-tower-first <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'> can get really annoying. and yes, i do think that because they tested this game with clans for beta testing (who usually have better teamwork then your avg pubbers....JUST A TAD) that the game is a bit too geared towards a crazy amount of teammwork. again, hard to find on a pub. don't get me wrong though, i've had great comms on pubs....too few and far between they are. it's pretty apparent that the aliens got some pretty kickin rad upgrades. and for the marines i guess they got some, uh...tweaks? shotguns are a bit.....more.....better? i guess? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'> i dunno. anyway....i already made my point: geared for great teamplay, but not something you find often on pubs. and forcing teamwork among pubbers is about as easy as raping a gorilla <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'> (g'head and try, but i wouldn't). but, of course, i still love the game reguardless. start workin together nubbies!

I didn't understand because I all I saw was a bunch of Onos' trying to eat letters.

tiger_style · August 2003

kinda hard to subliminally get the onos thing into the readers' heads <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'> but my main point was the teamplay business

as you didnt notice you are part of a "free field" gameplay test.
seeing only redempt onos, sens first, no scanner sweeps, and no umbr shows how stupid most ns players are.

My regret for bothering to read that is surpassed only by the searing pain I went through trying to decipher it.

The teamwork is there, and if it's not.

Take control.

I don't know why there are so many little nook and nack write-ups about this, when the solution is under your very own nose.

it does become apparent in a very short period of time about why they say "give it 2 weeks". there's a lot of little things that can be done to make situations easier for fellow teammates, but it's just as i said; the teamwork isn't effecient on the majority of pubs. that's the reason for my own personal hunt for a consistant server with good players that are regs. but just when you think everybody should have their crap together and start working together, you're still going to have new people who have no idea what they're doing. the ns community, like the cs community, will alway have newbs. no way around it. and such intense teamplay necessary for constant newbage is a constant struggle

I agree with your point that this level of teamwork is not something that you often find in public servers. I do know that on my usual servers, we have been working better and better together, and when new people come in, they just fall into the team atmosphere. So, I guess that it is just going to take some time before the new players get past their CS frame of mind and into the NS frame of mind... that is working as a team. The problem isn't that they aren't capable of teamwork, but it takes more effort. Eventually, they will understand this and public servers will improve.

Sens is the best defensive chamber for the aliens, tbh the defense chamber should be renamed it doesnt really defend anything its more restoration chamber. Anyway i was ment to say that sens is great defense but not so good on attack but it is atm as most comms dont know the importance of observatories and scans (which help attack as well). some ppl seem to go on about that u need to get used too comm, its not just the comms fault. I have payed lots of games and commed a few games (im not really a commer) where marines are really bad at shooting and helping each other out. I did well once and got a few HA HMG GL for ppl plus i scanned for an attack yet the oni still destroyed my marines cos they were either looking backwards or running away. I have killed tons of Oni with HMG (with and without HA) even when they had sens near by.
