I found a few servers in which I pinged an amazing 300 and had a full 2 hours of gaming. This game is bloody fun. I can't wait for the server patches.
My only qualm was the jerks who said "play marines first, they're easier." I wanted to try out marines, just because I wanted to try both. First game I played alien just to savor the moment of clinging to walls and jumping around as a skulk.
But then, NEXT game, I joined, and looked at the teams. 11 vs 1. Hmm...that's cute. *sigh* I'll be an alien again, for the greater good. And for the first 15 freaking minutes, not a single marine switched, even though we 2 were constantly begging, so we could never catch up the game. I had fun jumping down and stuff, still.
The maps are fun, the graphics are good. Some of the animations look a little odd, but what can you do. I like it much.
I'm an avid StarCraft/WarCraft III player and still can't wait to try my hand at commander, but it seems I'll never get the chance...as everyone whines about "noob" commanders...how the hell else are you going to learn?
ROCK ON NS DEV TEAM!

I agree with thorkos... it really get's tiresome having everyone pile on the side of the marines and no one go aliens... so I seem to play aliens most of the time now. Also once the lag goes away I'm sure it will be even more fun... it's kind of annoying trying to chomp some marine when he's jumping 30 ft between each refresh...
I'll never forget this one moment I had as the skulk... I was completly cloaked just sitting in the middle of the hall, I watched them build a base and aabout 15 turrets... (my team was loosing anyways and I just wanted to scare the crap out of them) well they finally start advancing and I had 6 heavies walking right towards me, when they were about 15 feet in front of me I did the lung attack and jumped straight at them, Oh I wish I could have seen their reactions in real life I couldn't stop laughing, I actually survived that and made it into their phase gate. then I toured their bases and was killed when the commander got out of his command station to get me off him <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--> It's moments like this that make this game so much fun... Great job and I look forward to playing it without any glitches. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
I played as commander for the first time and pounded some aliens into the ground. It was a little confusing at first but I got the hang of it...it was much fun. A feature I suggest you add:
Multiple selection of Marines...if possible. Would make things a little easier.
After that, played a game as aliens. The <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/skulk.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='::skulk::'><!--endemo--> is by far the coolest. Clingin' to walls...jumping at prey. Oh yah.
