I was expecting GTs to be powerful in combination with forward cysts and shades.

One scan?
The trails have made lerk sniping, even with silence, absolutely useless. Never roost and shoot. You will be dead in seconds.
I get why it was done, I just think it is overkill. Finding theerk was … -
I didn't know about the issue, and I don't know your specs, so I defaulted to standard rhetoric.

Let's see what the stats are saying in a week or so. More if we want to be sure that people have adapted to the gameplay changes.

Check your CPU usage. The core NS2 uses for most of the game code is probably maxed. This determines FPS. You can have quintuple SLI supermax gforce 8000000001. NS2 only cares about CPU GHz. Having atleast dual core matters, but beyond that, its all…

Just a quick check. Are you running any mods such as minimal AV? mods tend to break on updates.
Wait, do mods automatically disable after an update? I vaugely remember that.... -

It was hidden behind the boxes in the lower left. The marines pushed us out of terminal once.or twice, but never saw the tunnel. I used it to heal uber fast at the hive a few times.
Mods, my brain did not connect the 'G… -

No, both entrances must die. -
Descent puts summit's rave room to shame!

Seems just a case of stacked units pushing eachother around. You can see the same effect from arcs and macs. Build a bunch, but don't put a waypoint from the structure. They will stack infinitely until a move command is issued. Then they start to '…

Officially endorsing something can have dangerous business ramifications. While it could be awesome, and I think it would be cool, its probably safer the way it is.
Pro - By endorsing you can use mods to add fuel to your PR machine. Simu… -
On. Build. Release.

Sooo eager to find out. -
Please bear in mind, I fully intended my RFK squad thing to work for aliens too.

Fun read! nice!

Sounds like it will be too clunky and time consuming. NS2 is very fast and fluid. -

@Savant you can count on the exo to melt the onos' armor during the charge, even with cara. By the time you lmg is out, assuming you were welding, armor isn't a big factor …

Good points. I meant those ideas to be separate. Consider the latter an extreme case of the former.
As for pushes and beacons. Pre push, you probably only have 2 PGs, you should not need beacon. Pushing, you probably h… -
Interesting point killing the onos faster may actually leave more health on the exo.. It also puts you in a good position to chase and finish the onos if it runs.

Mind you, based on 4 RTs and my original numbers, the RFK would give a grand total of 6.25 pres for 50 kills, congrats, buy a welder or drop a pair of hydra. If you personally get 50 kills, and are near players who net you 100 supp… -

Lol, so that's what has been ruining the immersion of my space hippo simulator! -
This is my first time ever..... Asymmetry!!!
5 techpoints is fine imo. 4 tech points basically says if aliens get 3 they win, if marines get 2 they win. Assuming roughly equal RT control. You hand one team the win button... May aswell co… -
Then there is still time to get the high res welder icon in! Someone who doesn't suck like me at that kind of thing get on it!

Do I suffer the blindness? I cannot see it. Could someone circle it?
.....Did I just get trolled? -
Cool, what is the stop record command? Tried record 0 and other nonsense. Didn't work. I'll just jump to the menu between games and stop/start recording to keep things manageable.
-
Does the server need to run sv_cheats? can I stop and start recording between games to keep file sizes down? Will my mic/others get picked up?
Since the drain is so low and memory space isn't a big issue for me I was thinking is just alw… -
What about reviving RFK and 'blob squads' remember those? PLEASE, just hear it out.
Basically, the RFK part gives pres equivalent to one tick with the current number of RTs to the player that makes the kill. Not a ton, but a nice bonus.<… -
In order of importance to me. List works both ways.
Could you make any recommendations to some wants to try their hand at mapping? Descent looks awesome, could you hint at how many more official maps are planned? Maybe a hint as to what … -

It depends on res flow, yes. But assuming no upgrades and shifts/shades at each expansion the cost difference is 10 tres (will be 0 in B240). You can grow your hives much quicker via shift and eggs cost nothing if you don't need th…
