Yes, we are still alive but on life support. Not many of us left but we are still out here. I still have the Team #156 US West server up and running and it was one of the very first real US based NS2 server. Of course I have upgraded it since those days but at one time it was the cat's meow. Now I just wish we could get it populated once again :-)
Now we have over 15 servers including Seattle, Portland, Las Vegas, Central US and in Europe.
The things we have seen and how much the game has changed "since the very beginning" is quite amazing. The days of putting 10 macs under the com chair to using a flamethrower through walls to kill hives... the game has come a long way.
What do you remember from the "old Alpha / Beta" days?

R.I.P
Still love my black armor though.
Gud gaims!
And the ability to place unlimited stuff as a gorge causing major lag and framedrops lategame!
-Being able to clog really fast, and using it to clog phasegates that where against the wall so marines got stuck and continues to next PG.
mini-cysts still feel like they are an option if I gorged
As mentioned:
Cyst a room to the point it was laggy...
Back when I asked "How many sentries can I fit in shipping on the map tram?"
and my guilty favorite: Actual pitch black rooms in the beginning of the round because the skulks had something other to do than rush base - they wanted to fight you in the dark.
2- SMG - GL combination
2- Supper fast chewing lerks, first iteration of lerk bite
Rockdown
Insta teleport Fade
Ranged Lerk spores
Drifters exploding into massive hives (or harvester/structures)
(Also, what was res called then, Plasma and Carbon? Still sounds way cooler :> )
I miss this the most!!
Come to think of it I loved clogging PGs, I saw that happen in the patch I joined.
Damn you for making me remember. /cries
Helicopter LMG was best LMG
Its been awhile since I have seen that video. Gosh the nostalgia.
