Probably because the people who know it and don't like it refuse to play on your server anymore, like me. Such a shame because I liked the 8v8 with spec. Of course the greatest damage potential comes from people learning about it… -

"Perfectly even" is just another way of saying "equally bad". Those games basically don't happen at higher skill levels. Which really is a shame -

At that point in the game there's nothing to stop either team from base rushing and instantly winning, but only if they can do it together rapidly. -
I like the long games myself. Sure, it is usually indicative of a lack of teamwork or skill, but it's exactly the kind of back and forth game where there is no clear winner until it's all over. It's two hours of meaningful, if a tad frustrating ga…

Anyone know whether you have to be on the ground, and how far downwards you have to aim, before this works?
I've known about the mechanic for a while, but I've never actually gotten around to testing the specifics like that. -

Rifle bash can cancel a reload. That is its primary use. -
@ShamelessCookie I don't want to tell you how to run your own server, but could you PLEASE put a warning label on that you are using experimental balance mods like…

I honestly find it difficult to believe this is not a troll. If it weren't for the CDT badge I would be absolutely convinced.
The fact is this is a horrible, HORRIBLE idea in more ways than I can imagine. Even if it worked, and it won'… -

Is that a railgun? Concede girl is right. -

It was 15, not 20. I've already gotten the achievement for the alien side, and I'm fairly confident that my 17 personal and ~5 assisted extractor kills that round are pretty much the only reason we won. Marines had already gotten… -

You aren't entirely wrong, but getting people to parasite more and bite more extractors in a single round is more likely to get them to play in a more useful way, ESPECIALLY when it comes to newer players which the whole system is … -
Instead of lowering the goal, the RT achievement should have followed the same rule as the construction achievement. Namely do at least 33% of the damage done to the RT before it dies, because the hardest part of that achievement is getting the las…

On a related note, ejecting a commander and not replacing him should be a bannable offense.

Easy solution, let macs weld and move at the same time. At the very least allow them to weld during their "get behind player" routine if you think welding while running is a little OP.
It doesn't have to be properly an… -

They aren't marketable apparently. I'm confused as to what exactly they are for, since as far as I can tell unless you are actively trading with someone or otherwise making an effort to show the items off, there isn't even any way… -
There comes a point where even if the team does manage to win it wouldn't really be deserved. Either the opposing team suffers sudden-onset terminal stupidity, loses their best players to real life, or some pros suddenly join your team. In any of …

Actually team 2 will win in nearly all matches. You have a selection of scores wherin the rest of team 2 is not useless, and you have one extreme outlier to carry the team. A 3800 represents a pro fade who cannot be killed in a p… -
The TGNS "Win or Lose" is pretty fun. I don't play over there often, but I won a game yesterday via "surprise conceding". We conceded during our last-ditch base-rush, the timing was such that neither team actually knew who conceded for a few secon…

Makes sense, I could see where something like that could throw you off now.

Can you explain the tracer thing? They don't seem to be off target, and and they don't seem to be enough to get in my way. The shotgun tracers actually seem kind of useful, more as a reminder of the spread than something to actua… -
I honestly cannot remember if I had the map particles on or off before watching this and playing with my settings. Either they were on and I'm just good at ignoring them (because it's actually pretty easy to see a skulk in that globe thing, system …

How many did you get? -
Blind 'nades, luck or skill?
I never even saw the skulk, but I heard him and knew he was chasing me. Still, I never would have expected to actually get a kill on this shot. -
My point was that its still very playable. That was the question in the thread. "Would you play without mods". There are no features in Shine that are necessary for me to want to play that cannot be worked around if the admins are willing to do t…

No more Server Permissions (at least, they're no longer easy, but then, there's no more commands worth running without Shine either...)
I don't know what kind of permissions most servers are running through shine, but t… -
I probably wouldn't play without minimal alien vision, and I suck without my custom crosshairs. I really miss the NS2+ scoreboards (both post game and on death) though. The quake hitsounds and auto-alien vision are about the only other features I …

If that's not their intention then they are doing it wrong, because that's the only thing they could possibly hope to accomplish. -

No you are missing the point entirely. Their goal is to make the playerbase STOP playing. That's their leverage, killing the game. -
It's holding the playerbase hostage. That's the intent behind this whole thing. "If you (the devlopers) won't give in to our demands then we'll make half the playerbase quit for not having our mods, and then the other half will quit because there …
