to start off, ns is an acquired taste..when it first came out i tried my hand at it and gave up after about 15 minutes of play...now with 2.0 i installed once again and i must say that it was a good decsion on my part.
now on the servers and even in this forum i hear "ns 2.0 is unbalaned"...some say aliens are overpowering, some even say marines are too strong. id like to say, deal! patches come and go all the time and its not relaly that unfair...
the game really comes down to two things on both sides, and none of them are due to technical balance issues
a) marines that can shoot straight, relocating to double res is hell when 6 marines get mowed by 2 skulks
b) aliens who protect and back up their gorges
a good comm of course, but as i like to say kill **** first then strats
anyways my real question is how to get into one of those forbidden like locked servers...irc? favors?
pubs are getting kind of lame, no one listens and comms dont freaking electrify...

Thier is actually a very good reason comms dont leccy RTs on thier own the fact of the matter is any vanilla skulk can chew a leccy RT with no upgrades or no help due to a *bug*. Im not gonna say how to do it or even give hints i heard the bug is fixed in 1 of the 2.01 beta patchs tho good news.

IRC is your best bet go to the clan chat groups and get to know them voogru sometimes do vet only nights were only people they trust get the password, BY also used to have passed servers for the vets or anyone that went on IRC. Servers are also locked for reasons such as clan matchs and stuff try Roobs for a good UK game or that good US one i forget the name CoFR? im sure someone knows it or has it then thier sig lol.

It is. If you've heard everything, then try watching something, like, say, clan matches.

I electrify all the time in 2.01x, however, in 2.0, electricity is a rare occurence with me as comm due to exploitability and cost.
is it just me or do turrets blow..maybe i just need to build like 5 times as many <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Exactly: 2.0 is too expensive: 2.01x is too cheap.
