  • I wonder if having something similar to a 'pro' or NSL mod wouldn't actually bring some players together, rather than splitting them?

    I know I don't only speak for myself here when I say that I am a casual pub player who hasn't got the t…
  • Having played a few games on biodome:

    1) Jetpackers (and to a lesser extent Fades) are very strong on this map because of several high ceilings and railings.
    2) The hive on the far left side of the map is highly defensible against …
  • I think mines are most useful when Aliens are being impulsive. When I'm playing Marines I often notice that about 60% of the way into a game where things are going well for us (so perhaps around 12-15min) the aliens have figured out that they are lo…
  • Most excellent tutorial video I've watched of any game ever, right down to the refusal to post Call of Duty videos.

    I found the idea of looking slightly behind a skulk you're tracking with an LMG to use peripheral vision especially inter…

    I made a short test video similar to this idea when the pistol fire rate cap was introduced: I pointed my webcam down at my right hand, on my mouse and recorded myself shooting off the pistol ingame using fraps. Syncing them is eas…
  • New Zealand and Australia will both have worse ping than us, won't they? (Assuming the servers are in Europe). And they're both on the signup list.

    What are lolz-vsdkk, wabbit and furioustalon's steam IDs? I will message them.

    As for what you most likely meant, I'm sure we could find at least SIX players. It doesn't matter wheth…
  • Yes, I certainly miss the HMG. HMG+Jetpack was a proper threat to an onos, and could easily be swapped out for a grenade launcher if it was time to siege. now the marines hardly have an anti-onos weapon.
  • To answer both posts above, thats why I suggested it to display the top 3 rather than only the top 1 .

    If players are too bad to follow your commands to attack a hive, they are probably also too bad to command without totally screwing it…
  • Yes, thanks for the NS2stats links, that did seem similar to what I was talking about. Is there a way to see the text file(s) that produced the information for the graph? (Of course it' possible that the files aren't plaintext, but it's worth a try)…
  • There is one minor bug (I think) with first-person spectating that I noticed

    when you are a player (not a spectator) and then you die and go into first-person spectating and press tab to show scores, the scoreboard highlights the name an…
  • Agreed on the new content, overall a step in the right direction (marines are more fun to play now, and aliens are more difficult, which is good too.) I haven't tried the railgun exos yet but those who have seem to enjoy them.

    Descent in…
  • With Gorgeous build:

    I actually performed much better on a skulk with decreased acceleration - I now find it easier to juke marines by running around them and biting. Something about it feels more precise. (What i do can be summed up as …

    Hmm, you probably joined within 3 or fewer minutes of Repair hive being up (for the second time).

    It can't be too often that you join a game 35 minutes in, and it isn't even half finished yet in Epic matches! share your experiences. Comment by Andinagama February 2013
  • Hey Chizzler.. since you started this thread... recall this game? Just finished it 10 minutes ago.

    Playing Mineshaft as aliens, we were down to a hive under construction at some point (marines had just killed us in cave AND repair, and t…
  • Thanks, these are most informative. I'll definitely recommend these videos to anyone who asks about being a better Lerk, and I'm excited to try this out next time I play!

    The up-down movement does explain why some Lerks die very quickly …
  • And I definitely second the point about giving information about a place even when you're not there - when I am evolving, for example, I check the minimap and call out names of places that I think might be attacked. When I am dead i also watch the m…
  • Perhaps a large part of the problem is that players don't position themselves too well to begin with, perhaps not thinking ahead. I generally make a fuss about it if i think a place is going to be attacked in 10 seconds and there are friends close b…
  • I can make the following suggestion: if anyone on these forums (myself included) sees really good hydra placement (including placement you did yourself), take screenshots of it and post them here. A topic like hydra placement is something that a vis…
  • I have a slow connection (South Africa) and would definitely appreciate the ability to download NS2 videos as well, as I cannot buffer the videos fast enough to watch them (and when I leave it overnight to buffer, that for some reason buffers a few …

    Ah thanks I see.. It's an artifact of live casting. I usually only watch the recorded versions because I don't have the bandwidth to stream.

    Is there a way to download videos from twitch (once they are done streaming of…
  • A question I have: What's with the 'Starting Shortly' intro to some NS videos? I don't understand the point of spending a few minutes staring at a load-screen - I share my 1Mbit line with 5 family members and don't see why I need to use my limited b…
