If stones grew on trees,
could they be called leaves,
provided they moved in the wind,
or would they have to be green?

Meh.
Until we get proper bugfixes for the original NS2, I am not buying anything. -

It's really very old news. Botnets consisting of thousands of infected home and office computers controlled by IRC channels have been on sale on the black market for years.

Those are not "doomers" (yes, labels are so comfortable to use), those are actual scientists using scientific methods to analyze and extrapolate hard data. I know, it's hard to keep up to date, there are countries that still have h… -

I live in the Czech Republic that has recently undergone a transformation from a de-facto Soviet colony ruled by a local communist stooges and secret police reporting to Moscow to a de-facto US colony ruled by local mafia reporting to Washington.
My vote from the player's perspective - huge problems that never went away, latest version included, layers and layers of laminated micro lag. "Worth it" is a broad question, worth compared to what? But surely a better optimized engine could bring a…I never had a dream about NS2, but as a mild off topic, I will tell you about a non-NS2 dreams I had the day before yesterday.
In this dream, I was typing something on my computer, with my window slightly ajar for ventilation. I live at …It's still sad to me when I see the half broken, half finished state this game was left in, like a discarded toy of a moody child.

That means only one thing - RIP XBOX.My vote - Eclipse is the worst map by far. I understand that some folks' mind could be a bit clouded by nostalgia - like a sailor's mind is clouded after the second barrel of grog - but this alien-friendly mess of fugly tunnels and annoying little b…It should read "STEP ON" and was included by a quirky TSF sergeant who likes a bit of mince meat with his veggies.(Quote)

Once again, it's similar to chess. Novice players keep playing even after blundering a rook, because what do you know, five moves after, the opponent may blunder a queen. However, if you play against a decent player, you can resign after losing a bi…I have a perfect solution for better phase gates which is IMO patent-worthy, maybe even Nobel-prize or two, if played right.
Okay, prior to using the phase gate, you would shout the name of the room you want to go, the gate would display…Once the decline of conventional oil picks up pace, it will be very hard to compensate, because it's net energy gain that matters, not the absolute produced volume.

The word immersion gets a whole new meaning in a game with underwater setting, doesn't it? ;-)A good idea for the first really very moderately and reasonably priced DLC!

= UWE next game won't run on the same engine as NS2.The future of NS2 is obviously bleak. We have been left with a semi-finished product with incomplete features:
- Alien vision is atrocious in its current form, but nobody will obviously do frop about it.
- Weapons were supposed to …I disagree :-PI did play it, I was impressed by the engine, though the game itself was rather simplistic.Just ignore the stats, the system is not functional, because it uses data from only fraction of servers/games.Providing meaningful, relevant information in a clearly readable, comprehensible manner is not "hand holding". It's called good interface, and it's often a difference between success and failure of the product.
Game designers shou…I suppose the battle for the last barrel could be quite spectacular.Well, I think there is a significant gameplay difference, because when you carry a brick, you can melee down a clicker in 3 hits with the brick, after which the clicker dies and the brick breaks to pieces.

Oh, yes, and sorry, this one belongs to "Off Topic" as well, so mods, if you could move it, I would be grateful. Thank you.
