@Hoeloe you have misquoted me - I did not say those things!

The idea of gifting NS2 (1 or 2 copies) with Combat isn't entirely ludicrous - but it does require a better way for UWE to make money in game from NS2 through (eg) microtransactions. Together, the points that bonage made do make some sense.Yes, that's what I suggest.
Bear in mind that NS2 has been in the humble bundles essentially at ~$1 - this is nothing new. The fact that people have to go to even the smallest of effort does wonders for weeding out most people who genuin…...
Or you use the reinforced program like I outlined above: go F2P and allow community mods to run a 'only allow reinforced donors' mode. Anyone who can be bothered to spend $1 can then play on all servers, thereby protecting the vast m…The reinforced program... Genius @MuckyMcFly!
F2P can work with a community-run tiered system. Any server admin who wants to can set their server …@Ots I'm kind of on the fence about f2p for NS2, but you make an important point for discussion about the release of NS2:Combat. On the one hand, bringing more players into NS…(Quote)
Wait, what? I'm certainly not in the TOP best players!!!(Quote)
No, to ensure they aren't accused of totally misleading spec requirements for their game.
Sure, they could say 'intel pentium @ 1.8GHz or higher' but which do you think will get more negative feedback?Well that's just a lovely video right there! awesome

I think my favorite ns2 moment was in the first round of that match as marines on summit, when East and I flashed kilo's fade for him in reactor core, or max's beacon to get us all through to cross roads to cut off the oni exit rou…(Quote)
@acid_rain, good to hear. Will you be making a gamemode without onos/grenades/FT/exo etc comparable to the combat mod competitive mode? That was by far …Excellent news, look forward to trying it out - I will absolutely be supporting Faultline games in this, just as I've supported UWE over the years.
But... why oh why oh why oh why did you have to lead with the devour thing? Really???? So…Problem mitigated slightly with a rebuild of Chromium, but still their servers are slooooow

Right, full recompile of the browser time. The issue is definitely not my current internet connection
Ahh yes, digging into this it seems that twitch is totally unusable to watch anything back for people in Europe. Very annoying indeed!!!!

Trying to watch these but twitch appears to be super super slow. Have to wait about 10 minutes to see 1 min of action then pause again. I'm on a 220/180MBit connection just now, so the problem isn't my end!@meatmachine, please tell me more about the difference between a gas and a vapour :P^^ And also when you're attacking and planing your escape routes, no more getting trapped by a sneaky shotgunner camping round a corner on your way back to the hive. For both lerks and fades, aura is an extraordinarily powerful upgrade!I joined yo the other day and there was clearly some major problem, hit reg was awful and there were micro stutters all over the shop. That wasn't an issue with ns2 but rather a server specific problemDisagree with the statements on regen. I can't remember if it's only compmod, but the change for regen to be massively reduced/stopped in combat and for a time afterwards means that skulks with regen have essentially no combat advantage within the e…If you did all of that on mineshaft, you truly are a wizard. Smelting is on refinery, shipping is on tram, and departures is on docking!no point recording that, it's interp. You died before your shot according to the server (and yes it is absolutely infuriating!).(Quote)
That particular round was one of my all time favorites too!(Quote)
I disagreed because I read the post, considered what was being said, and didn't agree. That is probably true of most people who disagreed with it.
If I posted a topic here saying "Ammo is bad, UWE are idiots because the…Actually it was a rather selfish suggestion from me aimed at getting people to actually bother parasiting marines
mmm lifesteal... so if you bite, lerk bite, swipe or gore a parasited marine (sorry gorgies, no love), you get a small packet of health back? Could make for interesting gameplay - more incentive for more offensive gameplay.
The alien 'comeback' ability is bilebomb, though, which is accessible on 1 hive. Better take care of that 2nd hive if you don't want to lose the upgrades!
I don't see the current situation as a problem, the asymmetry isn't actually unfai…@meatmachine let's play through a scenario here based on your post:
Marine Yolo takes 2 bites and kills the skulk(s). He makes a quick run to ano…I remember one particularly entertaining round on mineshaft (loool) back when railgun exos were introduced. I decided to do an exo rush, and for a change, the *entire* team listened to my orders. We held 4 res nodes, didn't overextend, I think we di…
