The longest I have ever been in was back in 1.04 that lasted four hours. Very early off in the game, the Marines took Maintenance (hive) and we sat in the corner of the room for 3.5 hours with only one RT. From then on, we had to defend against 3 possible alien approaches in a pretty large hive room. The commander built a small bunker for us out of armories. About 5 people were HAs and we just held the fort down for 3.5 hours until someone was able to ninja kill thier two hives.

I gulped as much down as I could in the shortest Time possible and returend to that Match after half an Hour and played it 'till 9 o'clock PM. So... 7 Hours or something like that. Was 1.04 or 2.0, can't remember.

( i recommend not to play there, instead of getting more res at aliens. You get less. lets not discuss it, and keep on topic - their opinion on balance is quite weird , that gametime is a fact )
Its funny to rejoin those long games, and usually have to play on the other team and then ending up losing <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

Ah, and even with RFK enabled (and with the balance system running), some games where just as long as this specific one.

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)
Aaah cool! I remember that game. It started off as a 1v1, we were trying to get the Server going. Damn Marines had great JPers and we just couldn't kill them off! Haha, I remember doing a lot of Devouring and Jumping off the platform. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
What a long and annoying game. It was still pretty fun though. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

I vaguely remember hearing once about a tanith game that went on for 3 days back in the 1.04 days.

That screenshot doesn't show the gametime?
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.)
