I would not be opposed to camo going back to full invisible while walking simply because right now shade first is a death sentence unless the alien team is just much better than the marine team. Crag / shift are way more useful as a first hive.
Agree with this. You can call for a weld as Exo by hitting Q but there seems to not be any way to do this as a marine.(Quote) Haha no shit. Nothing more annoying than being killed by an onos that according to your screen, never got within melee range as you jetpacked away..
Agreed I hate this. When base is under attack and you want to start moving in a certain direction you can't it seems random which way you end up going once you spawn. Even if I align my spec camera up with the direction my marine is facing it seems …Does anybody even care about "points" ? So you didn't get the credit, big deal, you helped kill it and since this is a TEAM based game the only thing that matters is its DEAD not who got the credit.. move on and keep killing like a real marine would…(Quote)
Youre right it is a good strategy to just avoid the exo and his support team to go kill all the other marines bases. So good that its what happens every single time marines send a few exos + support to an alien hive, provided the a…(Quote)
Good points, and I agree with you in essence. I guess I should have reworded my complaint about this topic. My problem is not with the bite cone, its that this game seems to be massively confused by latency, even in small amo…100% disagree with limiting the # of exos. What we really need is a way to EXIT the damn exo suit, or allow the exo suits to weld & build structures and even get in the comm chair. Its retarded that the most expensive marine unit can't do the mo…The idea of bite cones with varying damage is good - but it doesn't work. So many times I have the marine perfectly centered in my view, bite, and see a 25 or 50 show up.. it just doesn't work. May be due to lag, lagging hit boxes, I don't really kn…(Quote)
True in many cases but in my example the only counter is jetpacks, and good luck getting those if you depend on the cargo CC as your 2nd tech point..this is a case where the marine comm could rush hand grenades which are, if you re…(Quote)
You assume the bile will only impact one structure, which is not correct, usually it hits several which means one gorge bile bombing from the vent in cargo can occupy the time of 3-4 marines welding non stop.
And beside…(Quote)
Whips already counter GLs to a ridiculous degree. Where is the Marine counter for bile bomb?? Oh there isn't one, but nobody seems to mind. I'd be perfectly happy if marines got hand grenades that would not be countered by anything…(Quote)
People that would make such accusations are doing so because they are playing with people out of their league. They cannot fathom anyone could possibly be that good so they assume its hacks. How do you not see this connection? They…(Quote)
What is the point of having a bunch of empty servers UWE?? Just make a half dozen of them rookie only and do not allow players with more than 100 hours to join. And if the player is still sub 100 hours, give them a button on the se…(Quote)
Fixed that for you. 9 out of 10 rookies will learn nothing from highly skilled players stomping them. Probably 5 of 10 of those rookies who get stomped by highly skilled players within their first 5 -10 hours of play time will prob…(Quote)
Those techniques are valid all the way up until the highest skill range of players. So until the noobs decide to turn pro, its fine if they learn that stuff..(Quote)
Hate to say it but in pub games where the marines actually miss a few shots and the skulks aren't laser guided bite rockets, that IS the best strategy for marines, as once they noob out and advance too far & die the alien team …Your proof of someone hacking is when their devour never misses? Firstly isn't devour only in combat mods? And second I am not that great of a player but I think landing devour is pretty easy. I've seen some people do crazy stuff with marines with L…I have faith in the devs, its just frustrating to see all these updates with a bunch of changes to maps, balance, etc when the performance issue is #1 on the list of problems people complain about. Every patch I get excited that there may have been …(Quote)

So this is why we need servers dedicated to teach rookies! Its fine that we have rookie friendly servers but what we really need are rookie only servers. That is what most of the people on my side of this argument …(Quote) Are you suggesting that the delays in NS2 are the same as other reaction time based FPS such as Counter-strike? I challenge you to show the reaction times are similar from when a player moves and another player …(Quote)
If the devs are concerned about models appearing spastic, they need to completely start over on the skulk / lerk animations .. or at least the speed at which they can change direction.. A lerk can change any direction, eve…I call BS on the people saying they can't find a server that isnt packed with noobs. I play at all hours of the day and I am never unable to find at least 1 or 2 servers with medium-high skilled players such as KKG, mavericks pub, guns & lerks, …(Quote)
Agreed, and there probably isn't a perfect solution to this - but right now the situation is so dire admins are considering banning players based on skill. Can it really get much worse than this? I say UWE just needs to designate a…(Quote)
Really? Find me someone with under 100 hours in ns2 that could make a competent member of any competitive group. But for the sake of argument, call it 50 hours. 25. Whatever constitutes a 'new' player in your mind.. my point remain…I started a topic about setting up a peer based 'rating' or 'ranking' system a long time ago.. then allowing server admins to only allow players of a certain rank range to join their server.
Since that idea has a lot of flaws , mostly, the eff…In pub play with low to medium skilled players I can see the OPs point, since the lerk & fade do require a lot of skill to be very effective with, while even a a couple noob players with good aim can shotgun down a lerk / fade pretty easily if s…Ditch spikes and bring back projectile spores! It was better suited for the lerk IMO.I believe in biteys video he was crouching during the jump - ss - dbl jump sequence, I'm not sure exactly when you hit crouch or how long you hold it but it seems this give you some extra range and a smaller size to not hit your head on the ceiling …
