I would have to agree, I can still remember the long epic battles, I can remember me hiding near the RT in the upper sewer, my buddy on the other side, ti was the perfect ambush, then a huge wave of aliens rushes in and all hell breaks loose <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo--> it jsut gets your adrenaline pumping, people are trying to lengthen the games by jsut delay but that ususally turn into fooling around with the other team (ip camping). Bring back the epic battes!! I would also like to se some stationary guns, like those in the firearms mod, but lenghtening the games is good enough. In NS 2.0 I didn't find anything to like, as soon as I looked at the top left corner of th screen, and within five minutes it was 1 vs 3 rts, I kew our team was domed, and I jsut begna hiding for the rest of the game, atleast it gives me some suspense and action <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Long games (WITH possible turnarounds) are what makes ns:classic the best. but SomeThing just makes it to damn easy for rines atm. I remember aliens winning 75% of the time, now it's rines win 75%. It could be just because of stacking, but still. If i want a short game i'll play combat, thats perfect as it is.
The main problem is really that 5 min rt mark. It used to be the 15 min mark right? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo--> Well that about how much longer games used to be 3 times as long.
I'd rather see alien beefs in stead of rine nerfs, but the hmg definetly needs more acc and piercing. The onos and fades REALLY need some work. And i think hives could use more health.
my 2 cents. I just want balance and long games 1 way or another.
So your saying a 15 minute Marine Spawn camp while constantly getting spammed with acid rockets was fun?
Those are what I remember when I played 1.0X, they certainly were not fun.
3.0 has been the most fun version for me. I don't want long games. They suck and get boring really quickly. I want epic games with squads of marines going up against Oni and Fades. That is much more fun and something that 3.0 Classic does really well.
You know in times like these public's are overrun by newbies these newbies do the following thing:
- stack marineteam
- if forced to join alien they save up for some onos/fade/lerk without dropping chambers or rt's
- drop first chambers nobody wanted
- do just stupid stuff
because of this you can't call it ns what'S played on the servers atm i'm a pretty good comm and when i join marine and got at least 2-3 ppl who listen to me and got some aim i will win this round for sure
alienteamplay sucks atm everywhere you got just these newbies on every server some of them listen and ask stuff other just res**** and get killed in 5 seconds that's the reason why so many rounds end so fast and are won by marines
give it some time until most newbies know some stuff about the game and how it's played after that: start discussing balance
oh and i don't get the topicstarters point at all... first he says stuff like "all alienabillities suck (leap, bilebomb, metabolize) so there is no point in growing any hives"
next he whines that you need another hive to get the stuff or you can't keep up with the marines
leap rocks fixed bilebomb rocks new metabolize rocks (finnaly you can take something else as regeneration and adrenaline and still be abel to do alot of damage) new acidrocket rocks new armorsystem with hives rocks Fade is a killer Onos is a killer Lerk is a killer (and fun to play <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> )
If skill and knowhow are even around both teams you will get long games, i allready got some of these in 3.0.

new acidrocket rocks
new armorsystem with hives rocks
Fade is a killer
Onos is a killer
Lerk is a killer (and fun to play <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> )
