<div class="IPBDescription">Well?</div> Mine would be a short term effect

Finding a server to play on!!!

Right now there's only 3 servers that I ping decently on and two of them are currently down, so I find myself hitting enter repeatedly trying to login to that server

But I know that as the game becomes more popular better servers will appear, so I just thought I'd share that

What part(s) do you hate?

TychoCelchuuu · November 2002

Er, I hate it how the servers are always full <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'> I ping in th 700's to alot of places, but it is still easy to play. Little or no lag.

I hate how I havnt even played it once because my Halflife has gone absolutely batcrap. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='asrifle.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'>

The splash weapons.

Loaded · November 2002

I hate being aliens, then a whole messload of people come into the game and all go marines. It's really frustrating after that becuase you are outnumbered and out powered.

Poor_Yurik · November 2002

I find finding a server is no problem. God bless Telstra GameArena.

Yes, you guessed it! Sentry farming. Or, an entire team of onos, they should be limited.

Rooster · November 2002

personally i'm not too fond of seeing 20 into either the marine or alien 'team selection area' waiting to get put on the respective team when some picks the team with less players on it, how about if theres more than 1 person waiting in a team selection area we institute insta-ban <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>, maybe not but seriously and go on the other team

Katsuro · November 2002

The maps that last +4 hours because theres no winner after that time and no one has the sense to set a time limit.

DY357LX · November 2002

When marines abuse gun turrets by placing several hundred of them round their base.
Other than that, Natural-Selection = <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

When my computer grinds to a near halt trying to keep up with where all the structures and players are. It's a little tricky to aim with 5fps <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'>

seige turrets

Rico1 · November 2002

People who whine about balance when the mod is 11 days old.

Da_Sarge · November 2002

Lord almighty.......thank God Flayra sent that patch out or we would have hordes in the street. The part I hate most.....uhh.....gimme a minute.......hell.....gimme a few years........

Stue · November 2002

Rico: when shud we start whining? After 1 month so they start working on the balance then instead of now?

True_Believer · November 2002

the lack of TEAMWORK!

today i was a lerk on bast i think and i couldnt keep the engine room clear! why? BECAUSE MY TEAM WOULDNT HELP! first i said can i get a little help (as a skulk because we couldnt get another hive) and this friendly gorge came to help and i cleared the place so he could build. but the marines come back in the middle and we die. and i go back every time yelling for help and dying because my teammates were either stupid/preoccupied/didnt care. it was annoying.

also i was kicked from a server for telling some idiots screaming for sensory chambers when we only had 1 hive and maybe 2 res towers up that we dont need sensory towers, we need res towers and defenses for them and our hive. 1 other guy who was also trying to talk sense into them was with me. but the next thing i know im kicked

although i can find on occasion a nice game with teamwork going on on either side.

Epyon · November 2002

Yeah I'd have to say lack of teamwork.

Khaos · November 2002

The thing I hate the most is the excess of people coming from pure FPS games and thinking they can run off by themselves as marine and expect to own @$$ without any one else's help. This in turn leads to no teamwork, not doing what the commander tells them, and resulting in an utterly humiliating defeat.

preacher · November 2002

i hate gorges that build a hive then leave it undefended and are suprised when someone says "OMFG THEY ARE ATTACKING X HIVE EVERYONE GO THERE!!!"

GhostBomber · November 2002

Lack of teamwork takes the cake. Its the most disapointing thing in the world to scream for help at your hive, get no response, and get blown to bits.

Forlorn · November 2002

I hate the lack of high quality servers.

Other than that, I think the game is perfectly balenced.

Tieom · November 2002

Hmm... I'd have to say the still too-plentiful resources for marines, and the way resources are scaled.

Example lacking real numbers -
Lets say that equipping a marine with HMG/HA takes $1, which is needed about every minute. Building up your base takes about $3 every minute. The way the resource model is scaled, each marine causes $0.3 to be added per node per minute. So in a 4v4 game with 5 marine nodes, the marines have a 'negative' cash flow, that is, 6 incoming and 7 outgoing, so not everyone gets HMG/HA, which is GOOD. But in an 8v8 game, the marines have a 'positive' cash flow, that is, 12 incoming and 11 outgoing, so the marines steadily get resources into a pool, and EVERYONE gets HMG/HA, which is BAD. It's even worse in larger games.

Battousaix · November 2002

I just hate the guys that make a 20 ppl server with a p2 350........ i mean if the server lags with 12 ppl dont make a 16 ppl server god **obscenity**.......
And the lack of teamwork on some marines, anyways i play a lot with friends and clan mates, and if i want some hardcore games i join Nano-Gridlock to meet the ns pro´s and have some fun =)

Dark_Quartz · November 2002

I hate the rate of speed at which the marine does going backwards. Give them a little bit more so they can at least evade and shoot some how (:\

Catpoker · November 2002

server problem:
- lag.....

gameplay:
- <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/siege.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='siege.gif'> how easy it is to get the seage turrents (25 to upgrade + 15 each) raise the price and/or shorten the effect

people:
- lack of teamwork on some servers
- people who think 5 gorges will recive resources faster then 1 gorge (GRRRRRR WHEN THE **** WILL PEOPLE JUST LISTEN!!!!!!)
- [Myg0t]
- lame teammates who destroy the marine base (please take FF off buildings in non-ff servers)

other than that

GREAT GAME!!!!!

And yes indeed tha is exactley my point.

All those guys playing CS for ages come in , shoot/bite as a skulk and are aimed at winning, but the teamplay / building and evolving is the real game here, and they're missing the point here ...

What i also noticed the other day was that a "commander" really "commanded" me to do things , like i'm a f*****g slave or so, like NOT! Words are like music, let them sounds alike <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

Jeebus · November 2002

Easy question with Two anwsers, "GL AND HA AT SPAWN PLEASE" "hold off the skulk rush first then mabye I can think about building an armory"

Also "Ok heres a HMG go defend this base, No dont attack that turret nest theres fades ther....chomp chomp.....Nm" "hmg at spawn again plz!"

Why? Aliens get 5 or so Fades/Onos with all their resources, why can't Marines stand some what of a chance?

Also, Siege turrets only attack buildings, not players, only reason u die to one is u stand close to a building the turret attacks...

And I hate Fades (if that's not apparent already)

I had more to say but it slipped my mind, I'll post it later

SLip1 · November 2002

The map I get 4-5 FPS on.

Jikx · November 2002

i hate when playing marines, your outpost is getting attacked, and people are just sitting around waiting for a HMG while its gets chomped to death..

Windelkron · November 2002

Getting the drop on a marine as a Skulk, and then running past him due to 5 fps and the viewmodel blocking the screen. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'>

People who refuse to listen to anyones advice. They are as stubborn as an **obscenity**. Please! Learn to take some suggestions! Having an entire team of gorges IS NOT A GOOD IDEA!
