The Games Still Long?

Xeno

just wondering from the consties if the game is still long like someone said a week ago. i'm sure that this beta will probably be the last, so i'm just wondering what we're gonna expect. long games or is it pretty much the same as it is now in terms of game time?

napi

what do you mean by 'long' ... ? ¬.¬

More than 20 mins? Or perhaps actual fighting over hives instead of second hive gg.

I would guess not.

Someone else in that thread mentioned that the long games they had been seeing was infact, the result of a bug that prevented the aliens from dropping a 3rd hive. I think it was resolved in the lastest build.

In my experience with b6,it's still pretty much the same gametime.

Gametime hasn't changed too much to me, but the back and forth is a bit more common, making it seem more enjoyable. There are still the hopelessly wait until the other team finishes, but comebacks are more common.

3 hive aliens are still pound for pound evenly matched for teched marines, so bas breaking still takes time.

Yes...they explaned what i just said. MOST of the long games were caused by the bug (not all)

Fog_cartoons

I just got back into NS lately.

Its a rush for a player to get to the marines, to be honest, its more of a survival game now.

The games will be long and hard, mmm.

Garet_Jax

Skulks can put up a fight now, with the use of free upgrades- so they no longer spend longer in the respawn queue then playing, during a siege.

= longer game times.

An alien win usually has the same round time, though (if anything, its quicker).
