    His confidence in his team amazes me. Hey guys, this location is under attack, I'm going to continue building more structures.

    Also, drifters aren't one use disposable units. :/

    So many gorges. I can't be surprised that the play was unusual and interesting. They are all rookies. I am impressed by how well TB commanded.

    From Totalbiscuit's tweet
    We only played aliens, the other team hadnt practiced the alien side so it made little sense to switch

    Also the video posted is just Totalbiscuit's perspective, there will be more videos posted at the polaris channel later this week

    Darn. I can't trick rookies into using swalk mode by telling them it makes me play better.

    Watching LordMinion777 made me think; would it be possible to get killcams in this game?

    LordMinion777 actually seemed to have better aim than certain players I've seen with 2000+ hours - but he lacked the awareness; as you'd expect with any new game. Giving deathcams might help to teach new players to check that spot where the skulk was hiding last time.

    Or it might teach new players, that they can go super-fast if they do the walljumping - just like the vet that killed them 10 times over and over.

    Can't record demos so I doubt it. I imagine that would use the same code

    You can record and review them - there are some glaring bugs and limitations of course.

    Have no idea how you got these youtube guys to start playing NS2 but great work!

    Though I doubt this will garner more than a temporary spike in player numbers.

    Thanks for trying, CDT!

    :):D

    Related comments below those videos are interesting. Worth a shot to help them understand how the game is and feels. Many people there are lacking information and/or providing false information (like hearsay). Amount of views is a nice thing though.
