Redirecting servers are infuriating. Kahuna servers are out for me... never again.

I went with the cheapo Zalman ZM1 with a lapel clip while looking for a better option.
It seems to work ok.
I've been thinking real hard about the modmic, which is a boom mic that attaches to headphones of your choosing a det… -
I think this is called the shotgun.
Or maybe the flamethrower.
But I'm not sure.
I can't aim either so I like flamethrowers. -
Water cooling only moves the heat from one location to another. All the actual cooling is still done with air, whether it's a heatsink on top of the cpu or a radiator in a water loop.
Water cooling has additional non zero costs in the f… -
Yeah, I always go in thinking I'm playing Commander and always end up playing Upgrade Fairy.

It can be bad if you have to beacon before phase is researched since it can be hard to click only on the obs. I usually hotkey the obs so this isn't a big deal.

In pubs I think concede ends up being a vote of confidence in the current teams. This team sucks, we're losing, let's restart with better teams.
No amount of forgiveness in the game can really offset this mentality.
There ar… -

Oh, so I'm not crazy and those spurs I unloaded 5 mags into should have died. I've been wondering about that...

Yep, I did the same. Got a few alien commands in which was helpful.

Stomp is annoying.
Especially when you charge an Onos by yourself and they stomp you like 5 times before finally finishing you off. Yeah, that's not so much fun. -

At the very least I would want an actual commander training mode... and explore mode isn't really it.
It needs to start you off with regular resources, build things in normal time, not instantly, etc etc. It would help… -
I kept half a noob alien team busy for 5 mins in ball court by myself with a jetpack and shotgun. Would have held it if the comm could have figured out how to drop sentries (yes, the irony, I know).
-
I think this is mainly a non-issue, but having parasite slow marines down some for X time might be interesting.

Yeah... um, that sounds like a good idea for a mod.
I cut my teeth as Marine in 238 and 239, and yes there was a perverse pleasure in beating the odds, but that would be a major step backwards.
-
Nice job, team. I've been quite happy with balance in 240+ compared to 238-239.
Next target I'd like see taken out is the server size scaling balance. Larger servers do tend to skew marines I think, probably due to spawning mechanisms. -

What a load of complete unsubstantiated pap.
Let me see if I understand you. Everyone who disagrees with you has clueless "opinions" while your opinions are actually logical, infutable reason that invalidates the disag… -
I like lurk tracers.
Lurks sitting somewhere at the top of central spiking power was so incredibly annoying before. It's more manageable now.
I agree it should be made a little more subtle. -
How do I get a steam profile/username from the sv_status steamid?
-
Yeah, the longer they let it run the worse it is since you have more 'invested' in that game.
I just started getting in the chair ASAP. So then they vote ejected me when there was only a couple of people on the team. Or they would just… -

This is never a very popular order. "Hey guys, I'm moving these ARCs forward, don't let them die. Hey... the ARCs are alone. Hey... ARCs are getting biled, someone kill that gorge... Hey... *BOOM*... nevermind."
So … -
They might, I'm not sure. It's not a deterrent if they are using stolen credit cards (which is possible as the steam key resale fiasco shows).
-
There should be an hour playtime limit before you can comm. Maybe at least 40 hours or so. Really you need that much experience before you know what to do in the chair.
At the least this would prevent them using throwaway accounts and … -
Fun is subjective and not quantitative. Impossible to "balance".

That's actually great to hear. Aliens are just spoiled. :P
Although I do think there may be a balance issue with respect to large slot (20+) servers, and marines are rolling them lately. I'd like to see some kind of d… -
I'm not sure how you get these numbers.
241 + pub and competitive and everything checked for mods I get 49.22 / 50.78 marines.
No mods: 54.55 / 45.45 aliens.

Not really.
The balance may be tilted towards marines now some, but it is nothing like 238-239 aliens. Most of the stats I've seen imply a pretty even split now. -

I've done it and won. I've done it and lost.
I usually suggest the blaze of glory path if I know things are hopeless. It's more fun than concede and turtling, and may win the game.
I think it really is a s… -
Giving up is weak.
If you lose your 2nd base the right response is an immediate all out assault on an enemy base. It will either work or you lose rather quickly.

I like this map. I'd be cool if there was a Res nozzle in the Club so it's not just a passthrough.
Also I think it tends towards Marines. Skulks seem to get hung up sometimes on the stairs/escalators.
