<div class="IPBDescription">Build 177 - #156 server - Rockdown 3 hour game - NO LAG - No crashing</div>This game was held May 10th 11:00PM to 2:30AM May 11th Eastern USA time. Lasting around 3 hours, if you were there you know how good of a game it was, let everyone know your story!
It was a game of epic porportions I was on the aliens, and man did the marines give us hell, we took west early and slowly took over the whole map but eventually the marines broke out and took west by the balls, they had 6 turrets guarding it. We tried everything to destroy there base but they defended so well. It was a wonderful game and we had been going back and forth with one team winning and losing territories.
The marines were very well organized in groups trying to push together as a single unit never a solo soldier.
But OMG, We had at least 300 Hydras and 20 crags all over the map, and we had the 70% of the map infested and there was no LAG. And not only that but I had not crashed a single time! All 12 players stayed in the game for the full 3 hours and no one crashed.
The Aliens eventually won the game taking out there West Base with 6 turrets. It was insane. I am so glad we won that match.
PS: THIS GAME IS GOING TO BE AMAZING WHEN ITS FINISHED. Definitly could become one of the top 5 BEST PC GAMES OF ALL TIMES. Lets just hope performance gets better! I wish I would have recorded that match.

On a better note, the hydras and infestation are being handled much much better by servers. Good work :)
1. Skulk Surfing is possible
2. lerks Glow rather nicely when cooking
3. NEVER turn your back on a fade
4. Don't get a closer look at a burning door (see #3)
5. A gorge doesn't make a good pet
6. Don't try to put a grenade in the vent at main on rockdown (sure death)
7. Don't ask your wife for a beer after ignoring her for 3 hours
Truly a learning experience and had a great time, some of the best game play I have been in for a long time! Thanks to everyone for sticking it out till the end and for being good sports about the bugs!
Haha!!! I was the lerk in the vent when you guys kept trying to nade my vent, I was laughing so hard at that you guys kept hurting yourself. It was the vent that was right outside of marine start.
I'm playing from Australia, it was only justtttt bareable with the ping but I got along okay..
I started off as the alien commander but gave up after 1.5 hrs because I felt like blinking around with the fade (first com i've ever played aswell)
Best part was, that was my FIRST game of NS (havn't played at all up until now) DAMN i'm excited.
Can't wait for it to be finished now!!!!
Maybe it was the ping, but I couldn't land one hit as the skulk.
Performance was pretty ehhhh but I got used to it after a while, expecting great things on this front in the next 6 months.
Cheers to everyone who played & congrats to the NS2 team!!
P.S, I registered on the forums so I could post this :D
I lol'd.
Yeah It was getting really annoying, I almost quit multiple times, but I kept saying to myself, damn we have came this far we have got to finish them!
Screenshots with net_stats, or it did not happen.
I'd rather see video footage with all of said above.
I was running pretty smooth most of the game at around 20fps dropping to around 15 with the hydra/infestation spam but went back up to 20 when we swept the rug from our little corner of the map (west).
I'm running a AMD 6 core with a GT220 on 6GB ram and it was every bit playable with a few warping moments mostly when the gaggle of fades pried the flamethrower from my smoking hands.. The server was running from a fresh boot as the game before hand the server crashed on end-game.
With 12 players and most of the time there where at least 8 in one area exchanging teeth for grenades the game went well with a lot of action with a fair share of comedy combined with excellent team work.
If i remember correctly the server is running a Q6600?
I can't find the West server specs atm or I'd post them
Worst troll. Especially considering the skulks movement code is so [hashtag]ed right up and bugged to hell.

Running pretty smooth at 20FPS? That's a joke.
Especially as I run not-smoothly, and at 45FPS on a lower spec system.
Software is Server 2008 Enterprise.
I logged into the server box just prior to that long match and saw it was giving mass errors at a high rate of speed, as in the text was rolling so fast and I had assumed it crashed so I rebooted it (sorry if I cut your guy's game short but it sounds like that match was about over anyway)
So that long game was on a fresh reboot of the server.

and no res comming in Aliens just could not finish it off and our com had made a few key mistakes oh well it's all part of a GG. The 156 west sever is still kicking ass.
