The thing about asymmetrical games is they tend to have different requirements for each team and some may be harder than others at first. The thing that balances it is that once a player/team learns the skill/coordination r… -

The one thing I would add is how some public marines don't seem to have the teamwork or coordination they need. I almost never see marines welding each other even though your armor is roughly 1/3 to 2/3 of your health depending on… -

If the commander can drop meds decently he doesn't have to rush gates. If the commander meds their marines and/or drops them an armory the couple extra minutes that they sacrifice by going for upgrades before gates is easily mitig… -
The problem isn't fades, it's that many marines in public play are kind of getting the wrong impression on what they should be doing. Public marine play is usually: Cap to next tech point -> rush phase -> put phase in every tech point -> …

With the faster exos I would like to see bilebomb's range restored or at least increased a little. It's kind of crazy how close you have to get to exos to bile them nowadays and they can chase you down/kill you much easier due to their speed and th…

Because things like different genres of game, differing gameplay between games in each genre, and communities that behave differently makes no difference whatsoever between games and their server sizes.

That's quite a broad statement you got there. -
There was an old server, "geriatric ward" or something like that which would lock when all the open slots were filled.

The second problem is fixed with assists on some servers, which gives half the points to everyone who assisted and full points to the person who got the kill. I'm sure it wouldn't be much trouble to add building destruction/construction assists.It's like this guy has never played a run and gun in his life.(Quote)
They haven't changed the damage of bile recently, just the range.
Bile does double damage to armor and each hit stacks as well. You also don't have to reload bile but you do run out of energy.
Bile is 22 da…(Quote)
They are both turtle breaking/siege/building destroying tools, hence the comparison. GLs don't do near as much damage to structures as bilebomb does, so the comparison is moot. In fact, a while ago some people liked to complain a…(Quote)I'm still not used to the new fade in combat. I used to blink above/behind the marines and shadowstep to swipe them but now it seems like I get thrown all over the place when I try this. I usually just end up crouched at the marines feet trying to…(Quote)
I'm glad they didn't go with the design choice to put "boob slots" (idk what else to call them) in the armor. I mean seriously, who designs armor like that?
in The Female Marine - Natural Selection 2 Comment by BobRossTheBoss July 2013I really feel like all exo tech should require 2 tech points. Exos just make the ever popular 1 tech point marine alamo even worse. Besides, most marine teams should have at least 2 tech points if they're able to tech to exos in the first place.Or, alternatively, leave it out but please prevent aliens from evolving in vents goddammit.Now that exos are cheaper both in tech and res as well as faster in general they seem to be a lot more deadly than they used to be, even with the reduced health and reliance on upgrades. This becomes a horrible combination when paired with all of t…(Quote)

Reduced to link only, this is not an imageboard…I'm more saddened by the fact that you can get so many green ping 16-20 man servers while I mostly get a handful of 24 man servers
One important thing to note about the 4 techpoint change: With the new BT coming this won't be as big of an issue for marines (aliens is debatable, depending on how effective/needed each hive type is when it is released).I'm still confused about how the skulk movement mechanic works. I haven't had any trouble fighting, but the only way I can increase and maintain my speed is by chaining wallhops like the old skulks movement. As soon as I hit the floor, even if I b…(Quote)
There's still the problem that the thing should be spitting out aliens as soon as you try to attack it. Fighting aliens in vents is not fun.

The only thing I would change about the shotgun would be to widen the spread a little so it is less effective over a distance. I can take out 2/3s of a skulk's hp from 15 yards away with a shotgun. All the people bitching about the shotgun against…It's kind of hard to control bots when this game's comm interface lacks one of the most rudimentary control features in an RTS: the ability to box units to select all of them.One big tip: don't be afraid to jump out of the hive and help if you need to.
If your team is having trouble or about to take a strategic position and you have no drifters nearby, hop out and help them take it. 1 extra player can make …(Quote)I usually go shift in larger pubs (>16 players) but crag if the game has less players.
The main reason I go shift in big pub games is for the shift itself rather than the crag. In smaller games egglocks are less of a problem so I cho…
