(Quote) I actually see more mild-mannered, forgiving players across most of the skill spectrum as opposed to those who blame the comm whenever they find an excuse. Whenever it does happen, it's usually the "average player" and the comm actually d…

Those skin iterations are coming along nicely. Tundra Storm and Wasteland stand out to me. Enforcer and Pegasus look too similar to each other. I like Enforcer more due to its slightly washed-out look and blood splatters on clothing. I don't think A…

I'm not digging the designs for some reason. I think the animals/creatures on the chest piece are the main offenders. I think they might look better if decals were limited to the shoulder pads. I didn't really dig the color palettes at first either,…

(Quote) As @UncleCrunch mentioned, there are already some weird neon-colored skins available as mods or rewards for buying reserved slots on certain servers. I woul…

(Quote) Well, you answered your own question. Even if they can't see their skins in-game, people still enjoy buying cosmetics and customizing their characters simply for showing off to others. Tons of people buy, trade, or gamble for these in TF2…

Funny stuff. A few days ago, I finally migrated my OS over to my SSD that's been sitting in my case for a year doing nothing. I'm just blown away by how fast everything loads and NS2 is no exception. No mini-games for me I guess.(Quote) I don't think the second part of this sentence makes sense logically. Whether you're tapping or holding blink, it's more skill-based now than the beta's instant teleport since marines can track you while you blink. Skill is involved since…Aesthetically, the old blink looks better and I can see why you'd want it back. However, I agree with Kouji_San that it would make marines' lives a lot more difficult, which is something we don't need right now with all the focus on player retention…(Quote) I love this idea since it would also solve the problem involving a group of marines blocking each other when welding the same object (e.g. a broken power node). This happens quite often on larger servers.
I would change Buy fr…Funny enough, I've recently been concerned about the skill curve for rookies as well and I've been writing down my thoughts in a notepad file for future posting in the Ideas and Suggestions forum. It takes me forever to gather my thoughts and rearra…I don't see why rapid iteration is necessary. I assume this idea came about in order to take full advantage of the new build machine. This seems to be backwards thinking, though. You have a "how" and you don't have a "what". What would rapid iterati…Oh nice. The inconsistent wording on these is funny, though:
(Quote) Might make rookies think aliens can get JPs or shotties. :P
As far as achievements go, I have some ideas. Inside jokes are great too:
Marksman: Kill …I had a lot of fun today playing my first few real games. Fading took some getting used to due to the Shadowstep throwback and the lack of vanilla Metabolize, but that Metabolize/heal on hit upgrade combined with Adrenaline makes up for it quite wel…Exciting times ahead. I've wanted to create and contribute assets, but I've put off learning how to rig, skin, and animate for so long. I wanted to learn ever since I saw Evil_Ice's mind-blowing LMG model, but my research has been pretty confusing. …What the heck map is this? My eyes started to widen as I thought you were chasing him into Tram RR.

That's a great question. I actually don't remember much of NS1 even though I sunk a lot of hours into it. It's just been too long and I was a teen back then. Acid rocket is in NS2's siege mod, however, and it's been a lot more fun …(Quote)
Now that you mention it, they should bring back acid rocket. It works quite well in siege mod and it would be an great replacement for useless old stab. It would work well in mid/late game since you'd have a choice of engaging more…(Quote) Last week or so, I played on docking and aliens decided to do a gorge rush on terminal. We placed tunnels and hydras near the entrance to east wing and it was all out of marine los. Since the server lost a lot of players, we were trolling…Oh no, I like my 40 pres celerity fade very much. Shadowstep was fun to play with, sure, but it was so frustrating to aim at as marines. By skulk strafing, do you mean the reverse bhop? If so, I think the speed was way too much.I played NS1 and got wind of the NS2 alpha somehow. That shiny black armor was available for pre-order, but I refrained since I had a horrible PC. Even though I couldn't play until the beta, I should've bought that special edition.in How Did You Discover Natural Selection/2? Comment by Nominous October 2015
@IronHorse I believe your statement is misleading, though. A 144 Hz refresh rate has 6.9 ms~ pixel persistence with or without Gsync functionality. In this case, it's th…(Quote) I mean display motion blur, not in-game settings. Gsync and ULMB/LightBoost are like polar opposites in their advantages and drawbacks. ULMB/LightBoost is desi…So I played using Gsync again for an hour or two last night and, although the smooth motion, lack of stutters, and the color improvement are nice, as expected, I really can't stand the motion blur. Fading/skulking were the biggest problems for me an…@mattji104 @IronHorse Oh, alright. I couldn't get used to either the default or the ones …@Webtrance @DC_Darkling Thanks for your guys' input. Really surprised to hear that you …(Quote) It was a smart decision and you were able to make it while hanging by a thread. His buddy would've probably picked you off if you just retreated to Server.
One suggestion I have is to stop using those HP/energy bars. I think c…@Webtrance Bit off-topic, but do you normally play NS2 with G-Sync turned on? Any advantages using G-Sync over ULMB? I haven't touched G-Sync for FPS games since, althou…(Quote)
Also, Falls in Biodome. The glass in the room next to the RT is thin enough that a skulk's head pops right through it.Good post, but the majority of rookies probably won't even view this thread. Some inexperienced players resort to calling anyone with high amounts of kills hackers and try to get the server to vote kick mostly legit players out of sheer frustration.…
