Marine strafe jumping forces intelligent skulk play, I understand why this is daunting for most
Skilled movement mechanics and their place in online gaming is a hot area of debate -
Do any of these skill ranking systems explain how they rank players?
Is only basic data used? Any unique/intelligent heuristics? -
Playing people who understand NS2 gameplay mechanics/tactics better than you in certain ways will take the rough edges off your game much much much faster than if you relegate yourself to playing less skill intensive games.
Good players … -
A comprehension of value for your actions only comes after much play, and for some, never comes. These "retards" prob have less than 20 hours of play, but if not, I totally agree, they are prob not the brightest people.

Fairly sure first two posts are in satire guys...

Since buying the black armour edition, and considering my playtime hours are in the quad digits, I feel cheated out of nothing.
My black armour is, in my opinion, the most exclusive skin in this game. Barely more than half the price of the sha… -
I remember when shade came out, and you could ninja a second hive with a gorge mini-cyst, and 25 energy cloak it over and over again. Gorge had to heal the mini-cyst though, which gave away his location without silence.
Old times. -
Actually the mechanic of kicking those above a certain threshold KDR, will skim off the good players. Then, in the new selection set, previously average players will start getting better KDRs, until they are skimmed off, and so fourth. Eventually...…

I believe UWE should do whatever to draw players back into the game, which should be the main focus of this patch. Those that haven't been playing may not know about docking, or the new performance, even more so, older players who … -
September's NS2 Emergence; bringing new life with Biodome, the female marine, the new LuaJIT layer, new balance, augmentations and more. EMERGE!

Voted, lets get another wave of players in!

The new reliance on welding is an added weight that the gameplay currently does not need, given NS2's player expansion rate.
Other than that no real big issues imo so far.

My nickname ingame is "nuB"
Looking to have some fun with some solid players
I'm not very good considering how many hours I've played

(Quote) I play at basically a constant 60 FPS with my i53570k @ 4.3 @ 1920x1200 everything on/maxed
I have a Hyper 212+ on it, and it's on stock voltage, so I have more to go. This is prob the most bang for buck cpu for ns2. -
Can you provide a tutorial on how to navigate the LUA code? There are some things I'd like to do, but I'm not sure where to start. I'd like to know how to look for game events, for my own scoring system, and how to do something like make a skulks ou…

loving this thread

The lag spiking is an old issue, that's never been addressed I believe. 30 tick, and when it drops late game in situations with many people, it crawls. Though I maintain my 60 FPS, it's 60 FPS of skulks jig jagging.
The netcode needs a re… -
Is there a way the community could design a bunch of animations or scenarios for the default main menu? Mock fights, marines under normal non-warfare duty, etc. Maybe pick a few good ones, and have one randomly picked on load.?
Anyways, w… -

Sometimes getting stomped is awesome, takes the rough edges off your game quick. Also non-stop action. Prob also why I win games others think are a loss.
Winning/losing differ in feeling depending on pride.
Who knows, maybe you've just p… -
I often see concede being abused by players with more ego than skill. Usually in games that can still be won. If you're not a player who tops the scoreboard, and you use VOIP/chat to get people to concede, please stop, you are a drain on the communi…

Jucci?

Stop comparing the concede functionality of non-team games to NS2. Concede has no drawbacks in a 1v1. NS2 is not 1v1. Also the reason ELO ranking would not apply to it.
Also, please consider the possibility of losing games as fun and cha… -
As someone who plays without crutches (not weak), totally for blacklisting of known losers.

Adding a trackable sound to fully cloaked movement could definitely be a balancing approach -

Obs/scan detection would remain the same, only motion tracking circles would be gone. This way all obs/scan functionality remains the same for the commander, but only takes away the marine's circle motion assist icon.
S… -
If Camo remained the way it is, but made the alien not have motion tracking circles in obs or scan range, I could see it becoming more viable, without really gumming up the game too much. (Alien would still be visible on mini-map)

Neither I think.
They just wanted shotgun in, and after that moved on I believe.
Shotgun was in the game before lmg buck was -
The problem has returned, and deleting the workshop folder no longer allows me to play.
Any ideas? -
My issue has always been that the concede feature allows players to prematurely end games, and anyone who would like to continue playing (often the majority of players on the server) is denied. Its not a matter of me saying the minority is forced to…
