Meh, here I am, about to join in to the excuse-making fanny-brigade.
The small issue I am having has fuck all to do with strafe jumping. It is the narrow cone attack and the lack of hit feedback. Couple that, with the fact I only have … -
I hate Totalbiscuit, does he ever temper his ego with the fact he is overweight and bald?

This needs to be advertised on the main page of the game for all to see. Looks neat though.

Why not use this as an opportunity to improve your teamwork? If you know you aren't going to kill a single marine on your own, run with another player and take them on 2v1. That would also help with taking down RTs and other stru… -
Yes, this is a must. I've been trying to practice as Comm in the training mode, and the fact I can't reassign hotkeys is putting me off. I have no intention of playing as comm if I am forced to use the mouse to click icons.

Updated mine, but I use the DX9 gubbins, not really noticed any change.

Well, there is more to Shade Hives than Phantom. I tend to use Aura more often, even as a Skulk, because it helps with effective ambushing as well as showing which targets to prioritise. In fact, the stealth is probably the worst… -
Shade Hive first tends to be a poor option anyway due to the large number of players that start camping spots the moment they are stealthed. With that being said, you can always use your stealth to attack the Marine RTs to starve them of res. That…

I enjoy the game immensely, but I really wish there were a lot more players that were capable of playing it to a decent standard. There are far too many players that don't work as a team, never use a mic and can't aim/ambush for shit.

I'm going to throw some in after payday, but I have to admit, this could really do with a link somewhere on the forums to keep it fresh in everyone's mind. Even just the progress ladder somewhere at the side of the main page etc.

So the devs should do what the Marines can't? Marines working together can take down Fades no problem. If Fades start stacking up, it is because the Marines aren't working together to take them down. And Marines have a variety of tools available …

This wont make much difference vs the amount of complaining. Bad skulks will still have problems tracking jumping Marines and landing successful bites on them.

The bulk of your contribution to this thread hasn't been constructive, because you have absolutely no respect for any opinion that is different from your o…Have it fill both and double the cost?(Quote)
And why not? Why should every single game over the past 7 or so years be dumbed down so that the lowest common denominator can play it? These players have dozens of options available for games with a really low skill floor, games…(Quote)
A good Skulk can kill every welder with Xenocide. All they need to do is wait until the Exo has no line of sight before attacking, for example, waiting in an ambush position for the Marines to walk through a doorway or around a co…(Quote)
That can be countered with teamwork (Gorge webs, Bone Wall etc). On the other hand, the only counter to Xenocide is to kill the skulk before they get in range, which isn't always easy depending on location (corners, room entrances…(Quote)
Bad players are not necessarily new or inexperienced (and for that fact, just because someone is new to a game doesn't mean they are going to be bad either). They are players that don't use their brains. They don't work well in t…(Quote)
And bad players making excuses is also a real thing. Hiding behind excuses is the reason bad players never improve, and in a game with a high skill ceiling, that creates a large skill gap between the best and the worst players, wh…I was in a match earlier where some of the bad players were complaining about stacking. A quick look at the scoreboard showed that Marines were getting just as many kills as the Aliens. But in the match, the Marines were getting pushed back. The …(Quote)
That is a horrible idea. Why should good players be punished for doing well, and why should bad players be rewarded for needing to be carried?

Ah right, in that case yeah, it would probably work nicely

KDR wouldn't be a good stat to use for the purpose of matchmaking. If you put a pro player in with a bunch of noobs, they would easily wipe the floor with them, gaining a very high KDR. If you put that same player into a match wi…(Quote)
Well, can't say I've experienced that, but yeah, if they are deliberately playing on Rookie servers just for the sake of griefing, then that is a dick move.
