Greetings!
So, i've been wanting to record a fun little gameplay video for a while now and having finally gotten around to deleting a heap of junk, i now have the space to do so! Do not fret my fellow alien lovers, will try to get a good game from the superior alien perspective soon! Maybe even basic commander tutorial if new players read the forums.. o.0

    Short alien gameplay added. No excuses for me being so lazy... :(

    I have since discovered how much of a hax alien vision is lol, started using it now.

    (btw alien vision wont let you see flashlights and flamers.. so there are some disadvantages to that mode I guess..)

    This is not really gameplay.

    Call it 'Ramboing low-performance Aliens on my high-end machine and only building armslab to make me a better rambo'.

    Ever thought of helping your team winning? ;)

    since he clearly has a good fps advantage, with sticky aim to boot, camping their hive to slow their spawning helps his team a lot, plus it gave him money for endless shotguns afterward

    look at the minimap halfway through the spawn camping, the rest of his team was capping the map. he was basically a solo pressure team

    Well, this is simply Australian gameplay style. It is aggressive. I am not ramboing. Just because i am not talking on a microphone or with team mates does not mean i am not constantly thinking about the team and checking my minimap. If i was really ramboing, would i be wasting my ammo on eggs, would i be covering my team mates, would i be trying to kill those invinci gorges trapping the dc team, would i be trying to save RT's, and would the commander be ammodropping me?
    What i wanted to show in that video was how effective killing eggs is and how easy it is to spawn camp aliens back. Not the place to discuss this kind of thing, but this is pretty insulting =/.

    *edit* fair enough. no offense taken.

    As for fps advantage, notice im capped at 50 throughout. I would hardly call that an fps advantage :S but i dont want to argue.

    Oh wow you want to pursue this? Ok, im game.
    1) How do you know what fps the other players are playing at?
    2) How do you know that "most of us" play at 10 fps in battle situations? Who is "us"?
    3) 40-50 fps is ###### by itself. If player 1 was playing at 1 fps, and player 2 was playing at 5, does this give a real advantage to the player at 5? If player 1 was playing at 200 fps, and player 2 was playing at 5000 fps, does this give player 2 a real advantage?
    4) Is it really a point of detraction for someone who has a computer capable of recording ns2 at a bearable fps to want to do so in order to try and promote how fun the gunplay is?
    5) A 'normal' computer is not used for playing console ports (what?). Buy a console, or demand better games from the greedy industrial developers we have today.
    6) Why is 'fps advantage' so relevant to the thread at hand anyway?

    Speak for yourself

    I get better FPS than that in battle situations with Fraps running

    omfg. I didn't share a video to boast about how good i was. I would have died alot more if you were playing? Ok, sure that may well have been - what is the relevance of this? Do not project your own egocentric mentality on me.

    I'm really not sure how to respond to this obvious grudge you have against me for reasons beyond my knowledge. Either you really are rationally challenged or you are letting this grudge cloud your judgement, i have no idea.

    You sir are a troll and even though i dont have the ability or right to enforce it, i would rather you not post all this rubbish here pulling the purpose of this thread in a direction it was never intended to go. I never intended this to be some kind of competition between endar and myself and neither did he. We are sharing fun gameplay captures and if you don't appreciate mine that is fair enough, but i don't appreciate you masquerading your illogical and disjointed fantasies.

    This is the end of it and i shan't be responding to your bait any further.

    This statement is dripping with ignorance and is unhelpfully hostile. Why even bother?

    The gameplay in the video showed a strong awareness of the map and elodea performed tasks that supported the team. Personally I think it is great to see people showing the options for being a productive marine player. Far too many people simply run around in a zerg ("supporting" each other). The outcome also has very little to do with performance, people running 50+ FPS get rambo'd (as you call it) in clan matches all the time. A skilled marine is much, much more powerful than a skilled skulk at the moment.

    "Robert_Coight: Wow, nice ping!" -(or something lol) AGREED! 20ms, daymn son. The best I've found from EU (stationed in Finland myself) is around +60ms.

    Anyhow the whole skill thingy some of you got rolling is silly. He obviously has decent aim, but this is NS. If I ever find myself dominating any game, I can always log on quakelive.com and get my ass kicked, because in that game there's ALWAYS someone better than you, and he beats you fair and square, not because you were a Marine and he an Onos. :) NS - teamplay. If you can beat most skulks in a match - sure, go solo. You'll be useful to the team.

    Altho some of the skulks... ;o What's with that fancy schmancy wall running? Geez, I know you're trying to dodge bullets and all that, but you gotta bite him SOMETIME. :D

    Anyhow, video could use a couple cuts, loved the memes, aaand, yeah. Moar videos! From everyone. :o

    lol, nice video, seems like some of marines cant track/aim at you, or just suck.

    You should make some montage :) I will be making some when the game is 100% complete or when the game is released.

    Also you don't see scans or shields, but you usually get an audio queue

    nice vids, i only watched the alien one till the end, i have a question, how can you stand having the net_stats command up all the time, it blocks the minimap....and the minimap is damn OP. Its saved my ass so many times.
  • elodeaelodea Editlodea Join Date: 2009-06-20 Member: 67877Members, Reinforced - Shadow
    Thanks for the helpful feedback guys. I realised the marine one was way too long but i might have overdone it in the alien one even though thats all skulks really do.. out position and chomp marines.

    I apologise if i caused misunderstanding for some people, but at the time, what i wanted to do was this-
    I've seen alot of new players play marines and instantly get frustrated/give up when they die so quickly and repeatedly (I want to show how to dodge fades at some point). They then only play aliens and its saddening for me that they never experience the fun of the other half of the game. I know im not the best player but i also know i have a good enough understanding of the game to try and show the state of marines if you learn to move and dodge correctly (no s key).

    @Codeine. I basically only use the big minimap. Bad habit perhaps from before the marine UI rework :p. The only thing that annoys me about net_Stats is not being able to see your tres.

    And yea, alien vision is pretty OP if you dont already use it lol although no hivesight in 199.

    i'd like to mention you can certainly see a difference in play style of experienced marines vs new people. new people will take some hits, ask for meds, then run to the nearest armory with bullets still in their first clip. experienced marines will empty both clips from the rifle and the pistol and proceed to trying to bury their ax into anything gooey. only after they slay that last skulk with the ax will they ask for meds and ammo.

    thats one thing you have to remember as marine, if an alien flees, HES GONNA DIE!! SHOOT IT!!! even chase him with your ax if need be
