Your contributions are very respectable and appreciated by players. Thank you.

What a wonderful time to live in!

Massive game performance improvements for free you say? If what I've been reading about Windows 10 so far is true when released it will be huge, especially among gamers.

The only vote I miss is being able to play the with teams based on the previous game, even after a map change. If you had a great, balanced game, vote for another game with the same teams and it could try to make it as similar as possible by filling…

I agree vignette effect is an annoyance (although mostly because of how clearly you can see the oval you're peeking out of) but I strongly disagree about the "off" setting being toned down. Like the previous iteration of alien vision it works well b…

Like the new alien vision, nice job.

What does the Resource loading option do? The description is very vague.
While I agree XP is dead and the solution is not using XP, NS2 does still list XP as a supported OS on the Steam Store, so it should be supported regardless,… -
Very exciting, bought imminently. No way near as rough as the first NS2 alphas.
-
A free-few-weeks does sound like an interesting idea. NS2 taking some time to get into might need more than the weekend most games has been doing.
-
No one seem to address maybe the biggest blocker for F2P; how should NS2 be monetized when it's free to download?
There's a system in place for skins, would investing in lots of skin DLC and hope that sells better than the game be a sane… -
I've been running a TF2 community that has been up since the beta. Trust me, cheating is a great argument against F2P. There exists no viable deterrent for it but a paywall and then it's not really F2P. A system where a banned player, which takes si…

Jitter is a bigger problem, but I'm actually talking about plain high ping. For example in a scenario against a very high ping marine tracking you with his rifle, you will take damage for much longer after moving into cover (or what appeared to be m…

I agree there can be value in having a limit, but I'm not convinced it's right to set it that low. About 200 ms is still somewhat playable if you're in a casual mindset and can be neat to visit other continents. It would be a shame to make it intent…

Rich infestation has anticompetitive properties (see a previous rant) and shadows are too expensive. At least they were, I couldn't use them due to the performance hit, but I know they're different now because they look a lot nicer. Hopefully they r…

I'd go for a votekick option with just some time for the kicked player to cool down before rejoining. No voteban option.
First votekick is just a kick. This is almost always enough and often does not need a cooldown, such as for AFKs or … -
The new performance statistics in the future server browser will solve this problem. No active actions like blocking will be needed (and there are good reasons not to), though a popup warning like the one for very high player slots would be handy fo…

Um, I looked up some players on the Hive I was playing with and it seems the Hive already does since days back?
Example:

Suggested simple hack to deal with rookie skills being the average veteran skill or close to it, since the system was not seeded by total playing time from the start.

It even comes with three VLCs built in! -
You can drop the question mark, an SSD is essential today. They have made me think of hard drives more like cassette decks.

Just noticed the vote still says "Force even teams? (this will reassign all players)". That should probably be changed! Especially since there's now some players loudly complains about how it doesn't seem to do anything because they don't understand…

Can confirm, this is also my experience. Alt+tab used to work most of the time on my system, since those same patches it very often doesn't. -
(Quote)
Alt+tabbing has been unreliable since a few patches back, but I found a workaround that works more often. Alt+enter instead of alt+tab at the end of a round, before the loading starts. Remember to alt+enter again, playing in window… -
Brilliant, this can solve real problems. Random ready room is already back to being used as a substitute for force even teams and many servers that had it disabled before has it disabled again, due to it's reputation being tarnished.

Can't you recalculate all the skills from the raw data from previous matches now that the algorithm has changed? Surely you have taken this into account and saved all the raw data so it can be replayed for debugging, experimentation and adjustments.
-
Yes, auto team balance is very useful.
-
I don't understand how you're coming to this conclusion as you do realize this is a problem with the server, not the browser, which as you say has real implication on the quality of play ("freezes, red plugs, severe tick rate drops etc etc").…

The level in here... staggering.
Despite everything said, there is something that seems like it actually does penalize large servers. Excerpt from the comments on the performance scoring code:

So if a server w…
