Pistol should be automatic when the button is held down. There are plenty of legal/gray areas where you can fire the pistol at max rate and not technically be scripting - they're all just arbitrary and annoying (ie: mouse wheel to fire, binding 2 ke…

You realize a fade is going to completely crush your team without armor upgrades -
Armor over weapons, always. Rushed armor 3 (by 6:30) in particular is pretty ridiculous for winning pubs.
Any lack of early weapons upgrades is more than compensated by the existence of the shotgun. -

Oof. Coming from a competitive FPS background, any FPS that isn't a steady 120 FPS feels bad to me. Playing with dips into the 30s in that video was groan inducing - I can't imagine how people play with worse fps on a regular basis… -

Just the opposite really. Average pub marines are awful at shooting, which also means they won't actually be pushing in to anything without some level of combat advantage. Rushed phase gates simply ensure that you'll be able to (s… -
1000% correct.
Adding on to this, if you delay phase gates you open up the following:
6:00 Exos (as in research completed) with 4 RTs
6:30 Jetpack/shotgun armor 2 with 4 RTs
6:30 Armor 3 with 4 RTs.Also, since actions speak louder than words. Here's a video I recorded on one take after being accused of cheating on a server. Playing with terrible FPS and stuttering the entire time. This particular part demonstrates what happens when your…(Quote)
Apparently you don't have much success being aggressive against RTs in any sort of solo fashion. Because if you did, you'd know there are plenty of situations in where you kill 2-3 skulks, and still have more coming at you when bot…(Quote)
You can play the way you want to play - it's just going to be severely suboptimal compared to the people who actually know what they're doing. And it's not "just me", it's any top level marine who consistently does well in this ga…(Quote)
As much as you'd like to think otherwise, the quality of a player speaks volumes about the quality of tactics he's using. A player who's drastically outperforming other players is clearly approaching the game in an objectively …(Quote)
Here, I'll spell out the facts in a way that's easy to understand, even for you:
1.) Dodging enemy attacks leads to less damage taken.
2.) Less damage taken greatly increases your odds of winning an encounte…(Quote)
lol.
Jumping doesn't make good marines less accurate. Sorry. And if you're playing well as marine (ie: being aggressive) you'll end up in situations where skulks will be able to close distance from relatively safe vant…(Quote)
Step 1.) Find someone who can play a premium level fade
Step 2.) Go quick second hive and drop a fade egg by 3:15 into the game
Step 3.) Profit.
241 is better than 240, but the best overall…(Quote)
Movement options when dealing with skulks aren't really a matter of opinion or preference. If you're not actively trying to make the skulk miss you, you are playing badly. Crouching and essentially making yourself im…There's no problem with jumping as marine. Changing the mechanic would just dumb down movement skill even more than it already has been. The problem is solely with the skulk, and how changing ground acceleration for hitbox reasons had this particula…(Quote)
This was addressed earlier in the thread, but to restate: companies that engage in shady practices already have it baked in that keys will get disabled at some point. Meaning the act of deactivating the keys isn't really going to d…(Quote)
The flow of illegal keys was stopped by taking down the UWE store and implementing safeguards. Meaning the websites selling the illegal copies of the game cannot maintain stock of the game.

As opposed to the thousands of people who got the game for free via UWE approved methods?
Obviously the cost of implementation of such a thing might be a reason against this, but I feel like giving people who were affec…(Quote)
All you've done in this post is link a giant strawman that really has zero relevance to the overall point in this thread. Physical goods are not digital goods, as much as content creators would like to argue otherwise. It's …(Quote)
Lets just throw out a few logical questions here:
1.) Is the NS2 community in any way advanced by these keys being banned?
-No. From a community perspective, a mass ban for non-cheat related reasons is very …(Quote)
Because the natural reaction to a game suddenly locking you out (for no reason on your end) is to immediately put down another 24.99 when you've already paid for the game? That's not how most people are going to react to a situatio…(Quote)
People generally don't put much thought into things like this. Arguing that, "Oh, they'll learn a lesson" is pretty absurd. A lesson of what? People buy products from places that advertise them as being lower than MSRP all t…(Quote)
So, the bulk of those people probably won't end up rebuying the game, won't end up referring to the game to their friends, and the game ends up being smaller as a result. How is that an ideal solution on any level? In the end, deac…(Quote)
It's a bad situation, but the action that UWE took in deactivating the keys was wholly unnecessary. As explained above, most of the people who end up with deactivated keys will just leave the game. And they'll be out money because …On some level, there's part of me that disagrees with the policy of deactivating all the keys. And the reason for it is directly in the press release:

Deactivating the keys only punishes the innocent people who bought the keys.…(Quote)
Your average marine learning to attack harvesters instead of wasting time at one gorge wall all map would be a pretty good start. The solution to the average marine being incredibly stupid is not to make the skulk movement system …(Quote)
Here's the thing about that: Anything that doesn't fall under the umbrella of erratic and unpredictable is by definition predictable. Predictable skulks are easily slaughtered by good marines. You can try to "plan" as much…(Quote)
If the bolded part were changed to, "has some knowledge of base mechanics" it'd be much more accurate. I'm going to go out and say that the vast majority of this forum (mirroring the player base as a whole) is not particularly goo…(Quote)
No. Jesus. No. Holy christ, no.
One of the worst parts of this game, and certainly the most frustrating in a pub is the arbitrary umbilical cord between marines and their comm. As it is, being a smart marine who …This change is badly needed as a nerf to forward armories. Main base restoring armor isn't a problem, but forward armories being near impossible to assault (against good marines) is a serious problem. If you have 1-2 good marines who are pushing fr…
