I'll get back to streaming once I fix my computer. The damn thing decided to kill one HD, destroy my Windows Boot Manager partition and fry an USB port all at the same time.
But yeah, like they said above, the game does have all you said… -

Yeah, I know all that.
It's just harder than usual now that camo isn't perfect, but if you pick the right spot an… -
I wish they also removed EMP from the Combat mod. That thing is disgusting.

I'm mostly considering comp player level skill, as any comp player will be checking their corners and they will see you hiding in plain sight with the not-100% camo, hence why I said Aura is better. But I do think Phantom has its uses, mostly for th…

Yeah, the improved JP mobility makes it harder, but make good use of the shadowstep ability and you'll be in their faces no matter what they do. If you don't have shadowstep it's definitely harder, but not impossible. -
I can only see Phantom being useful for early game skulks, and even then they should be careful where to hide since camo is no longer 100% effective. On all other cases, Aura is far better.

I've heard of some lerks getting stuck in the walls for a moment, then suddenly popping out of them. I did get stuck sometimes as a Fade in certain spots but I was able to get out by blinking.

By the way, if the game got to this point then you obviously could afford Fades to get rid of their JPs. If your Fades couldn't... well... maybe the marines deserved to win indeed.
-
Basically it costs about the same as before to evolve a lifeform with 2 upgrades. Skulks are still free and you can swap upgrades anytime you want.
Removal of glancing bites is actually a good thing since it now removes the damage scalin… -

And unwilling to adapt. But then, for some people these changes came with little warning, and they're quite big. -
Some people here are stuck with that "they changed it, now it sucks" mentality. Give it a shot. I was *very* skeptical before I jumped in and helped test and change BT. I did hate it for the first few hours, but once I learned the new stuff I actual…

What about marines getting jetpacks/exos on 1 base? Should skulks be dead because they can't get leap? Besides, JPs/exos are a heavy investment on their part too. -
Trolls can disconnect before the kick takes place then come back to the server. Better to have an admin do the job, or that temp ban suggested above (as long as the ban applies even if the player was disconnected when the vote passed).

In combat, you have to be very careful not to overcommit because this time around you will end up without energy to run away if you need to. Also, Colt explained it all, except for a few more tricks with the new shadowstep and the fact that blinking…

Blink swipe blink swipe blink swipe (at most 3 times or you'll run out of energy, preferably in random directions including vertical) then run away. If the marine is not dead, heal then come back and repeat.

sv_status in console. Write down their IDs. Talk to the server admin to get him banned and you unbanned.

I feel ya. There is the occasional "wow, you're good", but more often than not I'm either "hacking" or "that high ping bastard". -

Ah, that makes more sense. -
While we're at it: flamethrowers can burn aliens on the other side of that window.

There is no clear advantage to playing with a higher ping. In fact, it's actually detrimental whether you play marines or aliens, because as marines, especially if you use shotguns, you will take at least one bite even if you clearly shot the…

Biomass is researched at the Hive. Each hive provides 1 biomass level and you can research 2 more on them.
Abilities are researches on Crags, Shades and Shifts. Each one provides a set of abilities to research, e.g. Shift giv… -

I just had an idea: rookie only servers where veterans are only allowed to join as coaches, to help the rookies with tips, instructions on how to play, strategies and stuff. Coaches are like spectators with a different name; they h… -
On an i7 2600K @ 4.5 GHz + GTX 680, the game hardly goes below 100 fps. With lots of structures and a bit of combat, it went down to 80 at most. Certainly a lot better than going down to 50. I wanna see how it looks like with a lot of stuff going on…

You should take a look at the brazilian scene. We have two relevant competitive teams: DTPN, which pretty much disappeared from NS2 since ENSL Season 2 ended, and CiB, which has been inactive lately due to most of our players being busy IRL. There's…

What UWE should be looking after is reducing the variation between low and high frame times there. Note how in the end game your frame times vary between ~10 ms and ~30 ms. That means the game is oscillating between "100 fps" and "…
