<div class="IPBDescription">...please</div> I haven't played a full game of NS for three weeks, and it's purely the fault of cheaters.
There's three servers I get a ping of less than 100 to; Terminator in Hong Kong, [TW]HLADS in Taiwan, and pagn.net NS in Singapore. And every single game, <b>every</b> game, has had at least one alien exploiting the marine-skinned aliens bug. It's been out so long that you'd have trouble finding anyone who doesn't know how to do it by now. And lots of people are abusing it. What I'm asking is that the developers would release minor patches for major exploits as soon as possible, before they get out of hand and start ruining too many games. It's fixed in 1.04, but 1.04 still isn't official, and in the meantime, there's been countless games ruined by a severe and easy-to-abuse exploit. I doubt I'll play until 1.04 is official and widespread, because I'd rather not spend my games either getting killed by an exploiter or having my team win easily and without any help from people who are interested in a fair game. And, beyond my enjoyment, any new players are confused as hell by this, and the game gets a bad reputation for not fixing big exploits in a timely manner. So, please, patch big holes before the ship goes down. Thanks.

now this is what happend on a server running defualt installations of the versions currently available for download. So this should be the norm for all servers running ver 1.03. I dont have anything else installed or configured in my NS or HL so it beats me why a server running 1.03 isnt protected against this exploit.
I've been playing NS for months, hours and hours everyday... I do not know how to do the skin-hack exploit. Not that I would do it (cheating is lame). But to reassure you there are plenty of people that don't know how to do it, and never will.
