<div class="IPBDescription">Ugh.</div>Well Gametrailers gave NS2 a decent score but....

They make several errors within the review, show old gameplay footage, and even call the classes the wrong name.

I just don't understand how these "professional reviewers" continue to fail at even the most basic things within the game :|

    I wonder how old that footage is... I played towards the end of beta and that footage is from before that then. I guess editing and voice overs take a loooooong time. I'd say in general you get the right idea of the game so whatever. But I don't have a lot of respect for their ability to review.

    Teleporters, well-armed robot suits, and radar......
    Slime corridors, ankle-biting skags, bat-like fade......

    Whenever I start thinking I can't be surprised by a terrible game review, gametrailers shows up to prove me wrong.

    They got some of the info wrong, but I thought it was a pretty good review/trailer. It made the game look exciting.

    Guys seriously, you have to understand that learning the names of the aliens is just really hard. At least he correctly describes the fade as bat-like.

    The fade is SO bat-like!

    Bats are basically Batman and the Fade looks like Batman, or at least it's the Alien lifeform that looks most like Batman. I can understand why he got confused.

    Is it the reviewers fault for misinformation? Or the devs fault for not making it simple?

They could also easily check out the main site or wiki.

    These are pretty basic, well labeled things. Its like mixing up the rook and knight in chess. You're an idiot if you do.
