Start ns3 for sure. Ns2 is a dead game and the numbers show it. No amount of fixing or patching will get the player base back to what it was the first few months, aside from full on F2P.
Ns3 with very careful direction would be my vote. -

CSGO is not F2P -

Valve has demonstrated with CSGO how to effectively grow and retain a player base. CSGO was averaging around 50k players a day for most parts of 2012, 2013. That is until they introduced cases. Skins and cases grew player base of t… -

Lol. Being annoyed at a caster who is trying to speak English and not doing it very well is not racist or anything else. It means you're annoyed. I know in 2014 the media likes to race bait everything and make the masses hyper poli… -

I don't think the skill ceiling is what NS2's problem is. Plenty of games have high skill ceilings that are still massively popular. In the shooter world, Counter Strike would be a prime example. I play CS at a decently high level … -
Some type of ranking system could have saved this game. Drives players and hours. CSGO after implementing the ranked MM system has seen over a 100% increase in player base. Such a simple idea that keeps players coming back because you suddenly incre…

Talking about computer hardware on game or tech forums is worse than arguing about religion or politics.

The 780 just came out and haswell comes out next month.

Imagine if they had used the source engine. Just that alone would have doubled NS2's popularity because normal people with normal computers could run the game.

Do you think UWE needs programming help I know how to make an array in c++

Half the reason is that the game runs very slowly on almost everything not a super computer. I know 4 other people that bought this game, none of them play it because it's a slideshow when they do. If this game ran 50% better I think the playerbase …

Are you guys gonna run these mods on some of your official servers?

So this is either
1. 5/10 April fools joke
2. Just a genuinely unintelligent person -
They mentioned the next update would be heavily focused on performance improvements.

Well if this were ancient Rome and I were an emperor overseeing this match from the stands of the Colosseum. *Thumbs down*

Pretty much the same specs as you. Had my CPU at 4.8 for a while too but cruise on 4.5 for daily driving. GPU wise were 99% the same as well. I turned off ambient occlusion, AA. Never go below 60FPS now at any point maxed at 1440p.

What's wrong with the Alien spawn system? -
NS2 has a much lower retention rate than most games. For your normal game that might retain 20-30% of new players as long term regular junkies, ns2 falls far below that.
The game is hard to learn.
The game is hard to play.

Play West Coast only servers. Can't say I have seen this a single time.

This thread has some explaining to do.
Also tongue punch my fartbox. -
Imagine if NS2 had gone with the source engine.
Definitely something that would have been doable. We see it's versatility in Dota 2, CSGO.
CSGO actually has relatively similar map sizes, player counts etc.
Perhaps years of de… -
Why is this thread still alive holy shit

It's this kind of transparency that wins over fans. Far too few games (not any really) post things like this. We are just left in the dark. Good to know all programming right now is going towards optimization as i feel that is the largest setback in…

And so it was, UWE employees realized balance would never be truly achieved and with that the office up and moved to a remote African village where the word balance had not yet been integrated into the local dialect.

For anyone actually wondering the game according to NS2 stats is more balanced now than ever. 54% winning ratio for the marines.

Should have gone with Source engine. Still modable and easy to run as Mario64. Would have made for a far larger player base because far more people could actually enjoy playing the game on normal computers. Installed TF2 again last… -
