    Movement mechanics for the skulk and fade.

    It's funny, because I suggested this +2-3 months ago and people blew me off.

    I'm biased because I played Ns1.

    The lack of any kind of proper collisions with other players. Its quite infuriating to have fades blink through you when you try to block them. Or leaping at a marine as a skulk, but just go right through. I think its one of the most important thing along with movement, in a game thats heavily about melee combat.

    Hopefully the new physics changes do something to help the situation.

    The map is bad. Difficult to see creep, no alert to being attacked, alien building don't stay when uncovered. Basically just really need an alert (red ping or something on the map) when something is under attack. Especially power nodes, all they do is flash.

    Two hives is REQUIRED by Aliens. Hate that.

    Marine Command Centers don't feel very significant. The fact that a second CC is left open seems dumb.

    Early game movement ie. skulk (clumsy/slow/controlless) and lmg marine (sprint, slow dodge/strafing, jumping is too heavy)

    Movement

    1. Marine sprint
    2. Skulk/Fade Air Control and lack of bhop

    alien upgrades still having downsides like slower movement or activation time for cele.
    downside for cara is not having the other crag ups, that should be enough.

    - The obvious performance issues (getting a lot better with every patch though)
    - Nanoshield
    - Medspam
    - Turret spam
    - End game as Skulk vs Marine with JP + GL
    - Arc trains (5 or more)
    - Lerk bite
    - Onos speed is too slow

    Turret spam? I think you should actually play the game from time to time. It is changing because of beta and stuff. ;)

    Jet Packs really need fixing,,, maybe making them more of a GTFO than lets just jetpack bounce and nothing can get near us, maybe having a more limited fuel amount or making them take alot longer to recharge, just now if a marine has a jetpack and shotgun flamethrower or GL they can wreck the alien team ,

    Also why don't the alien get upgrades for bite damage , even making this a evo upgrade making it a choice between that and sumthing else

    Angular view bobbing when sprinting with the rifle, forcing me to switch to pistol or axe to avoid getting sick.

    Gorges cant even make a damn harvester. NS1 gorges were perfect. NS2 alien commander sucks. They should have made the races different instead of the same. Aliens having cons for upgrades. That's not evolution/natural selection.

    That Marines get no real defensive measures outside of 'throw Marines at it' while Aliens get like five.

    Marines are more mobile than Aliens at and above T2. Aliens need hive teleport or a PG equivalent. Celerity doesn't cut it.

    Unless you count the disfunctional (and now offensive) Turrets, well said sir.

    The most of the posts just want back natural selection 1 ... too many people forget, that this is natural selection 2 :D

    i for myself would like too see arcs being more effective, for the reason, that we can start atacking hives from outside the hiveroom again ;) ...
    i know its possible, but it should set up faster ;)

    Movement mechanics.

    Quake/HL engine movement was excellently accurate and responsive.
