i cant wait till i try this version, the shotgun is finally beeing an valid option due to the cost, mariens actually need more strategy than some dumb rushes
as long as marines obey the comm and the comm do know what he is doing i dont see what the problem would be with this patch now hopefully well see some shotgunning marines battling the fades and not dying like madmen
yumyum
oh and there are a lot of newbeginners opinions here imho

Honestly, this IS like asking what you thought of a movie ten minutes into it. In fact, most discussion of strategy in NS is like this, because it's only been out for almost 2 months. That's not enough time for anyone to get good at the deeper levels of the game, let alone the whole thing. Only some of the playtesters can lay claim to understanding NS all the way through. Don't complain about strategy balancing until we're all good at the game (or at least as good as we can get).
