Win by 2 games seems like it might take a lot of games to decide.
I like the stopwatch idea as a tiebreaker. Play 4 games. If tied at 2-2, look at avg length of each team's wins, choose the shorter of them as the winner.

It's sad because I am an AMD fan, but there's still no reason to buy an AMD cpu for gaming these days.
NS2 is much more CPU dependent than most other games. Pay a little extra, get the i5 3570k and you'll be happy you did. -
Attacking extractors is easy advice to give.
It is harder in practice because at the very beginning of every match the marines lose the initiative roll.
Why? Because in the 30 seconds it takes for marines to build extractors… -
I never learned to read. Kids would always make fun of me in school. Go ahead, pile on. I'm used to it.
Although sometimes when the voice channel is busy I will type some things out when waiting for power or RTs. Usually though it en… -
Concede should be bilateral. Both teams should have to vote yes for the game to end.

Yeah, except that Whips are hard counters to GLs. Bile has no such hard counter. So that makes whatever point you were trying to make pretty moot.
The bottom line for me is this: the cheap cost of gorges, the ability… -
I comm'd a game on Veil last night. We had Control and Pipe. Onos came out, we had to beacon, then lost Pipe. They started to box us in with forward crag bases.
At this point the morale starts to waver. But a voice on the channel say… -
Tried this tonight, lots of fun! Give it a whirl.
Wishlist: Location based damage... increased dmg for head shots. -

Mod parent up. This is usually my experience from the Marine side. The gorges that skulk up to the rafters then evolve are especially infuriating.

Concede is fine I guess. Players are weak. Quitters never win. Quit quitting. Er, wait... well, you know what I meant.
It doesn't help that most Marines expect Alien beatdowns these days. -
Yeah, or games where the Marines are rolling with Exos and about to win but power in main gets bilebombed because if the comm beacons all the Exos will die.
Or the game where the Marines had us on the ropes but then we mass bile bombed a… -

You're trying to take a very specific argument and turn it into a general one in order to knock it down strawman style.
I shouldn't waste my time, but... I didn't say that all asymmetry leads to imbalance (though it is … -
Sure I can.
I mean really if you think that 10-20pres should be able to end a game in 10 seconds when Marines are looking the other way... I'm not sure what to say.
15 ARCs would cost 225 Tres. 2-3 ARCs... 30-45 Tres, and th… -
The power node thing is huge, really, and I'm not sure the people discounting it are paying attention.
The OP is right. Marines can lose to a guerrilla attack by only a few aliens, sometimes as little as 1-2 gorges. The reverse isn't t… -
Ok you jokers.
If you want to make the argument that there should be no major notification for base power nodes being attacked, then you need to also argue against the SERVER WIDE alerts + health bar of CC and Hives being attacked.

People quit too easy.
I was comm on Docking and lost much of Terminal late game. Arms lab gone, IPs gone, Adv Armory gone, Proto Lab gone. Basically everything but the CC.
We were able to redrop in Cafe then from there made… -
