I haven't had a lot positive to say lately because the last few patches have progressively broken the game more and more, PR has been horribly handled/entirely nonexistent, and the game has never been able to sustain a playerbase above 500. If I rea…

Remember when fan concerns were answered by golden posts? And UWE's rationale for these things would be explained instead of just pages of angry posters wondering what on earth is happening? Ah, the good old days

If you only have one upgrade chamber when you're fighting with fades for any extended period of time, chances are you're going to lose the game either way.
-
There's a sale while a map in the official rotation is unplayably broken. Wonderful timing

Are you? -
The whole thing is bizarre to me. An official map is very clearly broken and it's very clearly easy to fix seeing as SamusDroid was able to get a hotfix mod out very shortly after the patch. Not sure why another hotfix update wasn't possible. Even i…

Silence is even more useful than normal now that skulks are unbelievably loud.

People still whine when they see me go shade hive. Maybe they don't realize how good hallucinations are now.
-
I'm totally fine with the patch being delayed; I always think it's best to get a patch out when it's ready, not when some arbitrary release date does. My problem is with how terribly this was handled in terms of PR, and it's hardly the first time UW…

There's a difference between being entirely unreasonable about UWE missing the deadline and refusing to admit that the missed deadline is UWE's responsibility. ns2isgood's post was directed at you trying to blame the community for building up the hy…

Building your computer is definitely a sound investment. You can save hundreds of dollars simply by purchasing the parts separately and putting them together yourself. I know it sounds like a difficult thing to do, but it's really quite easy. There'…

Is the recommended processor for NS2 actually a Core 2 Duo? Lol.
-
It did happen. Or it pretty much happened - NS2C wasn't exactly the same as NS1, it added some small elements like whip upgrades, but it was basically the same game. Unfortunately people never really rallied around it and it's died out now. There ar…

How many missed deadlines does it take for UWE to realize that they never meet them and should stop announcing things ahead of time?
The world may never know.
EDIT: FordPrefect's guess sounds pretty reasonable... UWE must be … -
I think this game is great and I really wonder how many more players it could have brought in if performance had been better from day 1.
-
It reduces the chances of you instantly losing the game on a surprise bile rush. But it definitely isn't a priority in the same way a second hive is (I would argue that this isn't necessarily a problem, the game is asymmetrical after all)
-
Just vote no. Reset votes fill a valuable purpose and there's no need to limit their effectiveness
-
I absolutely agree that medpacks are the most important aspect of being a commander, and a comm who doesn't drop meds is about as useful as a comm who doesn't get upgrades. Solo marines also tend to me the most productive members of the team as they…

They've done that before... remember the infamous beta patch that came out before the Reinforced sale? -
I'm a big fan of Veil because, as a holdover from NS1, it's probably the map that best caters to the asymmetrical nature of NS2. As much as I love something fully symmetrical like Summit, Veil does the best job of any map at making marines and alien…

The Mineshaft thing is confusing me. Samus has created a mod that fixes the map. Why can't UWE just release a hotfix incorporating it?
-
That's the most trivial reason not to play a game that I've ever heard
-
Haven't been to Mineshaft yet, I'm guessing?
-
Definitely not a fair trade. Hope that's just a bug that will be fixed.
-
Surprised no one has mentioned the fact that hallucinations are given names now and will show up as kills in the killfeed... That is arguably the most significant buff. All sorts of deception plays are possible now that weren't before.
-
I like the idea of a hallucination buff. What about Ink though? Ink is really not that useful right now, and improving it could make Shade even ore viable
-
@Chagui concede is already prevented for the first ten minutes of the match, what else would you suggest to prevent "premature concedes" from occurring?
-
So tired of these threads. Yes, comebacks are cool and exciting. They also happen extremely rarely. It's not worth wasting hundreds of hours waiting for a game that has already been concluded to end. Couldn't disagree more with xen32, one epic comeb…
-
virtually every server forces even teams, so at most there is one more player on one team than there is on the other.

Although the idea of the alien commander converting tres into pres is interesting in theory, it can't possibly work unless lifeform pricing is drastically altered. The possibility of exploitation is simply too high
