General question... semi related.... If you are banned from a server on NS2 do you receive a "Kicked: banned" message?
Just curious because I've tried joining several servers and I just get a kicked message. Not sure if this is a func… -

If you can't figure out the range of arcs after a few attempts at using arcs on a live server then I guess your only hope is that the developers scrap some other enhancement to add an arc range indicator for you.
Is mos… -
My point is you need to practice to be good at anything. Yes, it applies to gaming too.

Can a commander cyst off of a unconnected gorge tunnel?

And what that also means is that marines can camp that unsupported gorge tunnel and the alien commander can't recycle it. -
Secure 4 res nodes. Go lerk or fade. Boring skulk problem solved.
I also agree with Draconis. Not all skulks can save to be onos. If you do, it's your fault the game was boring. - especially if you never get to go onos.

Long story short: aliens have a good counter to arcs, but map designers need to be sensitive to arc range.

Since my original post in this thread, I've commanded as aliens and experimented with gorge tunnels probably a dozen times. Also, as gorge, I've experimented with building them half-a-dozen times.
I just don't understand the value propo… -
The other day a friendly gorge kept creating babblers and attaching them to my fade. I think it really made all the difference in my being able to defend East Wing while the rest of the Aliens assaulted locker rooms.
The gorge provided … -

I've invested 100+ hours in NS2 and probably 500+ hours in NS1 (What a waste of time - hehe). In the post you quoted, I said my friends gave up on it after no more than 5 hours.
Speaking of time... It's a race against… -
Late-game defense makes sense.
Any other thoughts? Does gorge tunnel have to be built on infestation?
As alien comm it's hard for me to justify getting gorge tunnels rather than upgrades or abilities. -

Not sure how new YOU are to Natural Selection (1 or 2), but longtime fans of this franchise tend to be very passionate regarding NS2.

We did have an upgrade - the celerity spur, as I mentioned. With the second hive I was able to quickly get carapace for the team.
The marines were so determined to take the initial hive that they neglected pipeline and… -
I hope babblers work out in the long run. I believe the babblers in NS1 were based on the snark which was one of my favorite weapons in HL1 deathmatch.

I really enjoyed the precision involved in being an effective skulk with focus in NS1. Leap, celerity, focus.... what a vicious combination!

Oooooh. I can't wait to go lerk at the top of power silo!!!
How can the rines get arcs in the "jetpack room"? -
I am so excited you are making this map!
Thank you thank you!

I bought NS2 mainly to repay the developers for NS1. I even convinced 3 of my friends to buy NS2.
None of those three friends played NS2 for more than 5 hours. They have all given up on the game.
The learning curve is high.… -

What is the console command for gamma? What is the value range?
Also, are there any tutorials for building a config file for NS2? -

Performance is great. Obviously, if I were runnin… -
I think the ability to cancel beacon would help. You could do this in NS1. The "threat" of beacon was enough to get aliens to leave marine start.

Ah, the days of crashing servers with laser mine spam! Yes, bring them back.

I like the word "pubbies". It's like "muggles" in Harry Potter. It's like we who play on pubs, especially 24 player servers, are not real NS2 players. We're sad half-breeds who could never really appreciate the real game o…
