When i am on spectate, i have a solid 40-50 fps even when im flying around the map. Once i join marine or alien my fps drops to 6 fps. Anyone have any ideas why this is?

Without going into too much technical detail; spectators don't have to run a big bulk of the game code since you are only viewing the world rather than interacting with it.
Your huge drop in FPS does seem a little steep so it would be good to get your computer specs like Obraxis mentioned so that this can be looked into.
Graphics card is ATI Radeon HD 5700 CPU is AMD Athlon II X2 245 Ram is 4 Gb and windows 7 for os? im kinda bad with computers so yeh. I think my comp might be alittle old but i run games like CSS pretty smoothly like around 100-150 fps.
I dont really know how to put pictures here so imma just list the things given from r_stats Readyroom: 49.7 fps 457 draw calls, 145124 primitives 2210.0 MB video memory free vertext buffer memory: ~30.1MB index buffer memory:~2.0 MB Texture memory:~174.6MB
In game 2.6 fps 781 draw calls, 341711 primitives 2187.0 MB video memory free vertext buffer memory: ~34.4MB index buffer memory:~2.3 MB Texture memory:~185.7 MB

FPS, idk i am always to lazy to type the command, but it feels like 10-15

This is really strange. Given, the CPU is not that great, but it should still be able to produce <b>at least</b> 15fps while not in combat, probably more.

You can pause the profiler with space, then you can drill down the different functions to see which one takes most time. play around with it and perhaps you can find out where all the time is spent.
Thing is when i played this game like quite a long time ago, i still had like 20 fps with the same computer. seems like after the optimization, there was a huge drop
I am experiencing the same problem. Even on a low resolution and the lowest graphic settings the game lags down from 70FPS to 5FPS once I leave the readyroom. I ran the profiler and it looks like rendering the shaders is what is taking the most memory. Rendering took 160ms with an 82% draw on resources.
The two threads with the largest amount of calls were:

Also video of this happening or a screenshot would be great.

CPU is AMD Athlon II X2 245
Ram is 4 Gb
and windows 7 for os?
im kinda bad with computers so yeh. I think my comp might be alittle old but i run games like CSS pretty smoothly like around 100-150 fps.
Readyroom:
49.7 fps
457 draw calls, 145124 primitives
2210.0 MB video memory free
vertext buffer memory: ~30.1MB
index buffer memory:~2.0 MB

In game
2.6 fps

2187.0 MB video memory free
vertext buffer memory: ~34.4MB
index buffer memory:~2.3 MB

I would say it's your processor, it doesn't look very powerful, and ns2 is very cpu hungry. Still 2fps seems a bit crazy.

im just surprised cause in CSS i get like 150 fps
