From the perspective of controls, this is so far from doable it's stupid.
From the perspective of UWE's resources to make a port, this is so far from doable it's stupid.

Gather is too vague of a term, and doesn't feel good as a button on the menu because it's not informative as to what it does, instead sounding like some kind of advanced option that newbies won't touch.
I'd go with either an informative … -

Perhaps the title was a misleading. I'm not talking about a straight-forward "buff" to rail exos but more of a quality-of-life improvement change.
The hold n release mechanic is hard on the wrists of many people and for me personally it … -
Through all of this I'd still like someone in the know to give us any scrap of info on the organised play system. Anything. Please.

The skill gap will always be there, and any overhaul to make it less important would be too much.
What I believe is that if the games are consistently balanced, rookies will still get to win and be able to enjoy the game, and if their wi… -

I think the issue has more to do with the way the game is being played than the content of the game. I don't think any amount of new maps/balance changes/toys are going to help with the fundamentally uneven nature of the game exper… -
the decreased quality of gameplay experience caused by "stacking" is real, and is especially prominent whenever there is an influx of rookies following a sale, because rookies don't yet have a concept of who is good and which team to join.
Stacking has and will be a feature of NS for as long as the the underlying system of team formation remains unchanged:
1. Tab showing which player joined which team
2. Players have choice which team to join
There could …seb, it was not my intention to be un-constructive in my negativity. I can't deny feeling let down, and perhaps you make a fair point. The tournament is probably going to turn out to be a positive thing in the end.
But you know what woul…Wait, can someone explain to me how organising Tournaments help sell copies of this game? My impression was that things like Tournaments cement customer loyalty of existing players, so they will buy more in-game stuff further down the line, or are m…I actually don't really understand the reasoning behind this whole thing, I don't think it's about marketing needs or making more money or whatever... I just think that their priorities are wrong.
Granted this thing was apparently organi…I for one am a big fan of 32 mansMy personal peeve as Marine comm is that we'd usually do quite well and then midway through the game the aliens start making a comeback with gorge bile-bomb attacks. It looks like everything's falling apart and then I take a look at the scoreboard..…(Quote)
The original Focus was over-powered since everyone got it and there was basically no reason you'd ever not get it unless you were going to dedicate yourself to attacking structures somehow.
I do think that the original …this patch was sorely needed.
I was about to quit in frustration last patch due to how horribly imbalanced the game was in favor of aliens. The new patch has at last evened up the odds imo.I want to reiterate again that I could have easily donated ~$200 but the onos badges were sold out when I arrived and the next level up from shadow was $8000.
EIGHT THOUSAND

And this is better than the current state of the game "You can only get full enjoyment on a handful of servers where vets frequent, the rest are full of one-sided stomps"
This IS the current defining problem of this gam…Yes that's exactly what I was envisioning. There could be like a "war map" set up where each in-game map is represented by a location on this war map - I recall the idea that every in-game map represented a unique location in an industrial complex.<…this mindset of "oh this is my game it needs to be kept pure from selling stuff that in no way impacts on my own game experience" is utterly stupid.
If you don't like it, DON'T spend money on it.
I would not dismiss F2P out of hand.
Currently most players are basically jumping on the hate-F2P bandwagon, and I don't actually understand why it is looked down upon so much.
Is it because F2P implies and pay-to-win?
…Uhhhh, why is this a problem.
"Contamination" is nothing more than spreading some unavoidable infestation for a little while.
It's the whips and crags that echo in that do the damage.
So, use some creativity. Why …I would have. Except its now sold out. I would have been comfortable donating anywhere between 200-300. The lack of such a level and the next being $8000 is just laughable. This is not Project Eternity or Tides of Numenera. I think UWE will be hard …Two UWE mistakes:
1. Not putting Reinforcement Program link in big noticeable letters on the main game screen so people don't have to dig through the front page to find it.
2. Having no level between Onos badge and Shadow bad…OP speaks for himself. For me there is little to no down side to having new content, aside from the glitches it introduces as well as some balance issues and performance hiccups.
I love the exciting feeling of seeing new stuff and improv…Ok wait, how does one claim their shadow badge? Does it automatically do it after awhile based on my profile email?I skulk in the dark
I lurk in the shade
I prowl in the SHADOWSI've been wailing about this issue forever. They really need to fix this with the upcoming "Organised Play System". I'm thinking of a global chat lobby.I fundamentally disagree with all the "oh but NS2 can't be balanced for both pro and noobs" argument.
Notice as someone said that the Saunamen vs Legendary Snails was all about shotguns and Fades?
Yea I got no problem with th…THIS.
I don't care how much people stress this game is balanced for 6v6 or 8v8 or whatever.
I like my NS big and crowded and rowdy. And that means at least 9v9 and preferably 12v12. 'Sides here in Aus the best server to play on is …
