That would clutter the interface/stats too much.

Sorry, but that's probably the worst alien vision ever.

Disagree, because that would make it harder for marines to come back and the community surely wouldn't want that.

(Quote) So you're saying 3 hives + good comm means 100% win, even with bloody rookies as players? Okay... 8-}
@ OP: I disagree with the suggestion since it will just make stacking worse than badges and skill-badges mods (if tha… -

Not really. I have a fast GPU with high FPS and I also get those hitches on first encounters etc.

@ OP: Nah, just join the right server. It's really not hard.
(Quote) But then there would be less rookie stomping, so no.

At lot of changes would be helpful for rookies but IronHorse will tell you something alone the lines: "ahaha are you seriously suggesting to do game design based on rookies? you gotta be out of your mind".
So bad idea. The comm knows wha… -
(Quote) Yes, as it would make the attitude of the community even worse than it is (if that is possible).

(Quote) Nothing happens to me. The rookies stop playing the game, so I was just making a suggestion.
Yes, the "screw rookies" attitude is well known by now.
Sure, there could be people saying that the mechanics are bad. Wh… -

(Quote) Yes, then keep it open. Do whatever you like. It's a great example of reading disability. short-term memory (maybe Alzheimer's) and other gems.
Think of me whatever you like! I'm off to stomp some rookies, because that's what …(Quote) There's a difference between calling someone stupid that isn't and calling someone stupid that really is stupid.
The cysts into marine structures do little damage, are a complete different matter.. but I'm used to off-topic co…(Quote) Are you playing dumb?
Wow, and other people are upvoting some of this dumb stuff. I'm really at a loss with this community.
(Quote) In the name of the lord please use your one brain.
How does not being able to shoot into the CC room / ARCs doing AoE damage to marine buildings cause any problems with arcing nearby rooms? Right! It doesn't.(Quote) No it wouldn't. You win by stopping the marines from being able to spawn or by killing the last CC.
Marines could still turn a game around with 3 hives, bio9 if they out-teched the aliens, stopped them from harvesting resource…(Quote) It's not the reactions to my suggestion but the whole community that really started to disgust me.
What greens? They will be gone soon! See ya stackin'.in Disable ARCs shooting into room with Command Station ("castle defense") Comment by xnor December 2013
(Quote) The replies, such as yours, are ridiculous.
Telling bloody rookies that they have to play with more skill (effectively: they mustn't be bloody rookies) means exactly that: screw the rookies.
The ns2 player numbers disagr…It's the "screw the rookies" and elitist attitude in this community that makes the game so unattractive to new players.
I can only laugh at the hypocritical skill comments.(Quote) Here's what's happening:
Me: We should make 2+2 equal 4. (a cocky example but ignore the numbers..)
Others:
- It's always been 5.
- That doesn't happen often enough.
- Rookies just need to learn that it equal…The problem is already solved. Stomp rookies. They will give up (playing ns2) eventually. Who cares.
Numbers are already going down anyway. From 3k players we're down to ~800 again soon anyway, so the rookies will be gone. Yeah, they onl…(Quote) Yes, by now you all convinced me. Screw the rookies.
I've just had some nice stacked wins. Quick and painless. That's fun.
Now, if I notice that a game would take too long I just switch to the stronger team …(Quote) Already covered that. Contamination has a cooldown that is so long that the first one gets ARC'd down before you can do much at a second spot. Plus all the infestation problems covered above.
(Quote) Please visit all the rookies at home and tell them, cause they sure ain't gonna read and understand this.
I don't care anymore. If you support griefing then I really don't care about stacking or fair games anymore either…(Quote) And you seriously work for the community? Wow.
Everything has been said? Ok, let me summarize:
"whip rush 100% successful" - nope, far from it, they just wouldn't be useless anymore in that particular situation

No, as soon as you contaminate the ~3 ARCs fire away destroying the contamination. So you actually have to be very quick and do contaminate multiple times at different places for a contamination to survive long enough to get a bit …(Quote) 1) In competitive games they don't play "castle defense". Have you ever seen a competitive game where they even reached bio9 and got ready to do a contaminate whip rush (serious game, not fun)?
