Just look at the changelog. Both sides got buffs and nerfs. It's impossible to say what the effect on balance is yet. -
Hah, I love how these threads pop up after every build, half of them saying that aliens are now op and the other half that marines are op. My personal experience so far has been that marines got seriously buffed, but this is after only about 10 roun…

NS2 is bottlenecked by the CPU on almost every system so even if the opengl build was more efficient it would hardly matter.

Or because you're on the just released 248 build unlike the majority of the servers (come on I want to play!)

The bots are quite hilarious, the first round I tried the entire alien team was biting a blue power node the entire round. I wondered where the hell they all were..

I've managed to repro it a couple of times with steps close to the ones you described. This was before the res reset change though.(Quote)
Looks really nice, but I think a dark theme fits NS2 better. Also the content div is off-center on Chrome.Care to post some screenshots of these shitty textures? I've yet to encounter any in this game.(Quote)
Yeah he seems to be one of those people that thinks that everyone who is playing better than him must be cheating. Just saw him bitch and complain on a 156 server today.
In the case of pub games I like 18-20 player servers the most.(Quote)
A system like this needs to be transparent. If they can't handle someone talking shit about them on the internet it sounds like they wouldn't be capable enough to be making these decisions in the first place.I don't have any trouble reading it. I do prefer the old font though.(Quote)
I don't know about you, but I personally find the game much more fun when the teams are balanced.Slight, lately? Welcome to NS, this has been a problem since the first game. Servers that have the random addon are slightly better, but random is random, so the teams still end up unbalanced most of the time. I'd rather see an addon that keeps shuf…There's a different video of the same dude on the second page. Whoever thinks that he ISN'T cheating is either trolling or stupid as hell, either way you may as well ignore them.
Yes, there are cheaters in NS2. But making it sound like i…(Quote)
I don't see the irony here considering that Spark is written in C++.

The funny thing is that Java is lightyears ahead of Lua when it comes to speed.
Oh I wish they were like snarks, those little buggers actually managed to do some damage. The babbler AI is so bad that they can't hit marines at all as long as they keep moving even a little.
The only time I really use them is if I need…I haven't had any trouble shooting skulks around the CC since beta. Back then it was terrible since the hitboxes were all over the place when the skulk was climbing it, but now it's fine.#1 was never gone in the first place, it happened to me a couple of times in 239.This has happened to me a couple of times too. Can't remember what mods the servers were running though. I don't know if it happened to the entire team or not, I could never ask since chatting was not possible, I always just left the server at that …Someone could do the math on this, but I'd guess that shooting the onos is a better idea. Welding exos is so slow that I doubt it makes much of a difference. Good offense is also good defense, if the onos dies faster then the chances of the exo surv…(Quote)
When there are 5 or more marines focusing down an Onos it goes down like paper, which often ends up being the case when the game turns into one base turtling. All I'm saying is that the power node isn't a simple win button that the…Except it's not just semantic games. I've seen shitloads of games where the power goes down but it does not end the game EVEN ON ONE BASE since the marines actually have to be killed. Sure, rushing the power node with two Onos will most likely end u…Sounds killer for skulks, but like Slackerat mentioned, it's not very helpful at all for other life forms compared to the other upgrades.If you generalize that marines are on one base then we should do the same for the aliens.

I'm in if marines also need to lay carpet everywhere where they want to build.If you're not using them as a weapon early game then you're doing it wrong. You can kill a armor lvl0 marine with only two bites and one parasite.
