<div class="IPBDescription">For i have played gloom</div>I installed gloom today. I feel like hitting myself in the face with a baseball bat. Please tell me that NS will have little resemblance to that mod.
The action was too fast, the height on the levels was wa too much (too 3-demensional to be fun) and the classes just blew!
How can some of you play that game?

its so much faster and more deathmatchy than NS will ever be, EVER
nowadays it's just a spamfest *sigh* i remember the days when it required some skills

a) play as a drone, jump on marines
b)save up to be the big bug
c)die
d)rinse and repeat
This is more off-topic than general. However, some gracious person my actually want to answer it's main intent, so I left a link to it.
ON TOPIC: Look! A bandwagon!
o well, what i wrote then was something like:
I wont play gloom cuz i dont like deathmatch, and i dont like deathmatch because i dont like disorder, blah, blah...
and ns will rock because of teamwork (order) and the fact of it being 2 teams adds a LOT of order, even if there would be no teamwork...
it was mainly about me not wanting to test gloom cuz of high speed and deathmatchy gameplay...
however this is what i like:

Best experience is when you have the right group of people playing to win as a team (winning solo is very hard unless they are complete noobs you need some one to support your classes weak points or repair/maintain defense etc)
Class just give you different tactics and rolls to play(bigger are not all ways better) frags are cheap can get them easily hell on 700 ping I can get some
Goal is actually destroy the enemy spawns (like NS) any way you can (usually falls down to kami/c4 Spamor or organize them selves to coordinate the attacks)
If you dislike fast pacing, play a support class. Both wraith and bio have pretty relaxed jobs.
Or try being a builder, they don't have to shoot anything ... directly. However, you will still be "rushed" to build quickly and efficiently, much like in an RTS. So it requires some learning. I didn't attempt building until I had spectated a number of games with veteran builders. The builders make or break the team in Gloom. :)
Oh, about the deathmatch-y gameplay. If you keep dying over and over again, you are just feeding the other team points for higher classes. You know, so they can come clean house against your team of level 1's. Tsk, tsk.
