<div class="IPBDescription">Playtesters i need your opinion...</div>I was just curious do you playtesters test the game on more than one server? My second question is what's the amount of people needed for a good game on NS. I don't know how many playtesters are out there but whats the largest amount of players you have gotten on a playtest. 20? 10? 15? 30? Oh yeah, are the teams even on both sides for marines and aliens

Strangely I can one of them even though I'm not a PT. They usually play on one server, but I've seen two up at a time once. There are around 45 pts. What do you mean by "Oh yeah, are the teams even on both sides for marines and aliens?"?

Please don't title your threads like that.  If you are worried about the balance, don't be, they're hammering it all out.

Jeez Gazaar, don't be like that. If someone wants to ask a question, they're welcome to ask in the forums. <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

Silly Jedi!  You're mind tricks are beginning to rot your brains, har har har me matey!  It's just a silly question.

I think they said they need at least a 3v3 to have a good game, 5v5 is pretty much minimum though, and 10v10 is FUN!

Ginger

yeah 10v10 would be very fun but with 56kers maybe a bit laggy? <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->

I think a 11v10 would be even funner.  Then the teams would truely be even.

There's been talk about that - that the need for one of the marines to be a commander hurts the marines' team, in that they have one less combatant.

The concensus seems to be that even teams are better, that the commander's abilities make up for the lack of him being on the front line with a gun in hand.

I was not worried about balancing, I just want to know what's the needed amount of people for a good game on NS.

that also does bring up another Q I have been wondering, how is the netcode and such holding up? (though I have cable I will be at collge soon and that can mess with my OL gaming)
are there 56Kers playing? and can they handel the strain?

yahh, also every one seems to think that the game is rather well balanced? (that is just asking for conformation from PTs)

JediYoshi

A pt plays 56k in the UK over to the US server, and he said it was still good. So lag shouldn't be bad.
