<div class="IPBDescription">Case closed.</div>Theres not much more to say than what's in the title. NS rocks. Those who think that issues like lag and balance are a problem then their probably wrong.
First off, do not believe that crap about the lag issues. Lag comes from choosing bad servers...why the hell do you want to play on a server that has 500 overall ping? Just leave...then use the ping sorter on the server screen and find a good one.
Balance is great. Aliens lose alot right now because, simply put, they're still learning the ropes. They'll get better. But marines can win easily if they have a commander who knows what they're doing. But hey, I still won with the aliens...just get those three hives and go Onos.
There are a few more issues that people bring up and although they may be true, NS still was what I thought it would be. It's not perfect and no game is...but this game comes damn closer to it than any other game.
Morale: If you haven't downloaded it...get it. If you haven't read the manual...what are you doing playing???

ASE makes it easy to sort and filter. And thanks, I'm quite fragging capable of figuring out that my 4000+ ping didn't come from choosing a 4000+ ping server.
Rather, I was doing the usual, picking sub 100 servers. And ya know what? The lag issue still hit.
On the servers that didn't suffer from the (lag/cpu overload/net code/whatever the hell was the cause) problem, it wasn't bad. But get a clue, it wasn't picking bad servers.
Now if people would learn to use something other than solo charges headlong into the teeth of multiple sentry guns, it could get good out there.
