<div class="IPBDescription">post pics of long games</div>This thread is created to find the longest NS game ever played.

Sometimes NS games can be really long and epic, comebacks after comeback until one of the teams wins.
We all played them and they are the games that make NS so special.

here is a pic of a game i played recently on NS_hera.
Marines relocated back to the landing pad and kept defending. We took out 3 hives but the aliens always managed to push us back.
In the end we played 80:45 min.

Now post your longest game and see if we can beat this (no bot games plz)

    haha nice.

    2.0 were the days of 3 hour matches, where the teams would be completely different by the end, and you'd join the server two hours later to join in on the same match.

    I played a 2 hour scrim once
    I'm sure some 1.04 pubs have lasted for more than that

    longest pub game i was in was back in 2.0, that went for 2 hours, well i left after 2 hours cos i was mega tired and it was still an absolute stalemate. Longest war was probably when iNi played DoW and both rounds went for close to an hour.

    80 some minutes before, complete back and forth with full tech\lifeforms. Had a number of those, although its pretty exhausting to comm for that long.

    Weren't there games that would last over 6 hours in a couple of cases? I know the longest game I've been playing lasted for around 4-5 hours and man was that exhausting.

    Battle for Eclipse was a 16-hour long game on Nano-Gridlock, back in the 1.0x days. Kharaa went to zero hive at least twice and were three-hive as many times, and Marines were fought back from HA/HMG (this was before JP/shotty rushes became popular).

    Doubt you're going to find one longer.

    its easy to have an 2-hour game in the old bast, when marines tended to hump inside the generator room which was a dead end with one entrance only with hmg jps and HA

    1.04 days- started a game that took place in the morning; re-joined the server in the evening and it was the same round.

    Quite possibly the same round Talesin is talking about.

    I <i>vaguely</i> remember it being on eclipse- but it was so long ago that my memory's fuzzy.

    My longest round was on tanith really early in 1.0 days. I remember because afer about 3 hours, I left to get some early christmas shopping done and when I came back around 5 hours later it was still running.

    I hated that about NS btw. In a long game, every moment needs to be dramatic. The long stalemates of 1.0 got very boring after a while. The epic games we have now that last around 50+ minutes are usually action packed.

    Most likely was the same one, Sherpa. Can you remember who won? My memory's gone all fuzzy. I believe it was Kharaa at this point though, with an old-school Onos rush backed by Umbra and Spores.

    Judging from the gl icon on the comm interface it should be <=1.04... Can't remember how the minimap looked though, so I can't be more precise

    I played a long one on veil where marines held onto pipe for the longest time. We eventually lost.

    And you can tell a bit from the GL icon - it's the old GL. But that could be 2.0...

    Sorry Buddy. And btw, Prometheus longest Round was only about 85 mins <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    (For other readers: don't wonder, RFK's are removed on these servers. These 'longer' games happens quite often.)

    Maybe you should tell the viewers of that pic that all Kills are replaced by a strength indicator of this player. So kills will never raise <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
