Some games just don't work on consoles and this is one of them
-
LG and rail are typically used 60-70% of the time though
-
Playing Quake makes you better at any kind of shooter.

Maybe they are like exos after all...

It's 50 GB which feels truly absurd. What could possibly be in this game? whatever, I'll just finish downloading it tomorrow
-
Preloading it now. It's the first MP shooter I've been excited about in a while, hope it doesn't disappoint.
-
He only bumps blog posts because they don't become visible on the forums until they get at least one comment on them (never knew why they didn't just change that in the website code, maybe it's difficult or something). This is just a normal thread s…

Pretty sure Gorgeous introduced the brick skulks. That was NS2 at its worst. -
I don't mind complete newbies. My least favorite players are the ones who have played for like 20-30 hours. They've played enough to know what everything does and they think they're experts on the game, but they don't know the deeper aspects of the …

The time is going to come when F2P makes sense... I would wait until the matchmaking and skill ranking systems work better though. A more complete tutorial would be good too. But if making the game F2P will increase its lifespan and allow us to cont…

The tournament itself was very well run and an enjoyable event, but the way Hugh and UWE marketed it was beyond misleading. We were led to believe that our experience with NS2 was fundamentally going to change, and it turned out to… -
Yeah, since this game's movement relies so heavily on jumping on walls and then immediately jumping off, it would be far too disorienting.

It's been a year and a half since the game's release. If it had all of these things upon release, it likely would have maintained a much higher player base. I just hope that UWE learns to take their time and that their next project… -
I sense this thread will get tons of disagrees and might even be locked. These forums are very sensitive to anything that's at all negative about UWE.
However, much of what is being said here is valid. NS2's a great game but a lot of bad… -
I don't see any reason to assume that a person can't be attractive just because they are involved in an online gaming community, and I also frankly don't think there's any need to discuss things like that here... It's really uncalled for
-
Of course the problem is that Hive is down right now and has been for several days making it impossible to earn the badge
-
The best case scenario would be standalone NS2C... But I mustn't get my hopes up.

I'm officially finished with looking forward to "big announcements" from UWE. If it's something worth getting excited over, I'll get excited after it's been announced. -
I've noticed some improvement with hitching since I started using it
-
UWE held off on making any balance changes while the WC was going on, but posts by prominent playtesters lead me to believe that a balance patch is in the works and will be out in the next couple weeks
-
Yeah, I much preferred when exos were stronger but couldn't be beaconed. Forcing a beacon to strand exos was an exciting part of the game

If you need 6 of something for it to be OP, then it isn't OP. It's just balanced. If your suggested change were to be implemented, it wouldn't take six exos to be OP. One would be enough.
-
I'm not particularly creative when it comes to these things, but like turtsmcgurt I can't really think of a way to make exos viable in competitive that wouldn't make them crazy OP in pubs.
-
Yeah, I can't claim to fully understand the cost of the reinforcement program vs the revenue being generated by it, but the way I see it if players are willing to donate money UWE should be willing to accept it. I don't see how shutting it down woul…
-
So what's the status on the next balance patch? I had heard that it was being held off until after the tournament, should we expect something in the coming weeks?
-
I've spent many, many hours commanding and I don't have that badge... I guess I don't play enough on Hive servers?

Well, it's not fair to discount something just because it's negative. For example, I think that Fana's negative posts surrounding the NS2WC a couple months back led to a lot of bad rules being fixed and made the event more of a suc… -
John of ARC - hero. Taken too soon.
-
Am I to assume, based on the above image, that the Evolution Chamber is still being tested and may one day be added to the game?
If so, hell to the yes. -
Clogs are really great for countering GLs and railgun exos because of the unique way they take damage. It takes 4-5 grenades and rail shots to kill a single clog
