A few negatives swayed the outcome of that game, but in my opinion, the first 10 minutes were the most balanced minutes I've played in NS2 for a while now. Maybe it was just team dynamics though, will have to wait and see.

Personally, I found 206 to be the best build yet. The new alien Khamm was so much more smooth, the wave spawning sent packs of skulks to terrify marines, and the maturing alien structures along with the drifterless building finally makes alien Khamm feel like a gardener.
Glad to see two of the most imbalanced issues, bilebomb and ARC spam, addressed here. Now that ARCs are so fragile, this might make them unviable early game, but I will wait to test before commenting. :)
Just wanted to say that everyone's "favorite" builds are going to be different, so don't listen to the haters UWE! The hate on the 206 thread was really just over the top.

With so many problems, this Summer release looks like it will be a huge hit for the company and the game will be a resounding success with high customer satisfaction guaranteed.
I did like to see the lerk gas confusing sentrys. I always pictured the lerk as a support unit, something like an combat starter. Who knows, perhaps returning bile to gorges and giving lerks primal scream would make them more support and less pusher? It is always good to remember that the main tier 1 unit for aliens is the skullk ;-)

No, No, No, No, No, NO NONO WHY WHY DID YOU NOT FIX THE GORGE WHY ARE YOU INTENTIONALLY RUINING THE GAME WHY. WTF ARE YOU DOING, YOUR MAKING GORGE A POINTLESS CLASS WHILE MAKING MARINES SMOOTHER TO PLAY? WHY? There is NO point in gorge since the previous build, how can you not see that?
Some of the issues like.. not being able to drop RT's I would love to see on video, note.. Note: in 206 you used to be able to stop drifters on top of resource node which causes commanders/players to not be able place extractors in which they thought was a bug, that has changed.. almost (there is still a way) Make sure it is a bug and pertinent to build 207 please.
Aliens unable to spawn, make sure to reproduce that as well, saying you haven't experienced it isn't useful. Make sure it is also not the new wave spawn timer that has changed.
Lastly, please please PLEASE do not play rockdown as that is a disfunctional map.
Ybarra did you not read the change log? "We are now starting a two week "sprint" where we are focused on the new main menu, new Shade abilities and the Shift, while the more engine focused guys (Max and Dushan) are working on performance." patience for heavens sake people patience.
I like 207, yes there are still small bugs here and there but overall its an improvement to the last build. I'm sure everyone will do their best to be constructive on here and give thoughtful opinions after they have played for more than 10 minutes :)

You may find this funny. But really it's becoming a lil much. The game is due summer and the dev's have no path for the game. The community is getting upset and don't understand most the changes. Charlie when you decided to make this game did you have anything mapped out in you're head? Or was it a think ill just build it as i go? If the answer was ill build it as i go... then this is the issue. No plan.....

I was on your side about it too! :P But it just frustrates players to no other, and oh, people are blind... :P (marines trying to build the extractor)

Auro this is PutCashIn ... It's all your fault! (I blame Auro just for joining a server) ... how is Gorge ruined dude? It does seem like forcing you into perma gorging, is this what you mean?

It is amazing how some people are unable to comprehend tactics like this.

I guess we'll never really know which was the better option, but at least for me this has been a fascinating look into the inner workings of game development.
Naw i don't think that's the issue. The issue is lack of a game plan. Sure there is a plan (make NS2). But it seem's there was no long term plan. It's just a painting. You paint it as the idea's come to you.....

Oh, and the IP/PG pushback thing is silly. What do the aliens get to babysit them while they're in their weak pathetic eggs?
Marines being spawncamped is a consequence of aliens enormously outplaying marines, not of a flawed design. It didn't need to be changed (just like marines fundamentally don't need to spawn with an IP).

the chamber itself, whip, is useless chamber and usually extremely easy to kill. So they're trying to "balance" things out by making it useful hence the amazing change like all the older changes they made to the whip which still makes the chamber worthless AND easy to kill. like flamethrowers, sounds great and fancy but it just doesn't belong in NS, but because it sounds great on paper, they're forcing it to work even if it doesnt. (like many other things)
i'm somebody going to come and say "whip rush", just stop, stop..
I don't understand this, but game becomes worse almost every patch now, what is charlie's vision endgame wise? The list of all bad ideas just grows, and I wonder who sits there agreeing with charlie about all these changes. HAS NS1 TAUGHT YOU ANYTHING? its like they fixed the good ideas to the point they're broken now, and fixing the broken ideas made by that.
no performance boost of any kind, not good. when can this be expected?
Enjoying the new build so far, but then again I enjoy all the builds. :)
One small note so far: Can you add the feature that when the Khammander builds a res tower, it pushes off any alien player on the node (just like the phase gate now pushes people)?
I was a marine, but played a game tonight where the aliens said a teammate was intentionally griefing by blocking a node and going afk the whole game.

a meaningful boost? when max is done with revisiting the lua interpreter (which will make a big difference). other than that it will stick to the same pattern we had throughout the latest 20 patches (ups and downs)

I don't find it very kind or respectful that folks are being attacked for voicing their opinions on the current beta build. We've been asked to do so.

Maybe I should have clearly stated in my post that my views were from my first impressions with this build, and I do in fact plan on playing it more, of course, to figure out how and what could be done to improve upon my aforementioned comments.
I'm not a developer, I don't make games, but when I find something a bit out of sync with what's to be expected, I try to let people who can make a difference about it, know about it. Would you rather that no one said anything at all and just smile as we see possibly detrimental changes affecting the game?
Can't we be respectful to each other and still get our ideas out there?

if you up the melee damage whips make for actually some good rush support when on close spawns. cyst into their base and micro some whips around to catch marines while skulks are attacking. but it takes too long to get mature whips for this to work anymore.
