Lets just all face it, NS2 combat is and will always be better than NS2 classic. Now we just need more servers.

    I like them both. I usually start out NS2 with some combat but then get a little tired of deathmatch and go to a normal server.

    Combat is great for practicing the different alien lifeforms without losing them and even trying out some marine weapons. The mod is also very tight and streamlined making upgrading and refunding easy. You also get to see Devour and some other perks that are fun.

    Is it just me or does combat seem horribly imbalanced.

    Its like they increases the health of the comm chair and armory by 10 times, but if you get an exo into the hive room its basically GG in 10 seconds.

    In NS1 Combat definitely was more fun.

    In NS2 it's nearly even, but Standard is more fun.

    I enjoy both but lean towards normal since I enjoy the strategy side to it.

    I'm expecting this thread to turn ugly soon though.

    I would say combat is fun, but every time i evolve hive 2 or 3 abilities, theres a 2-3 second hitch before they activate.

    Cant really be an effective skulk or fade when i have to anticipate my leaps and blinks by a few seconds :(


    Great for practising my aim though ;)

    Classic mode is FAR superior. Combat is fun but I mostly use it for practice tbh.

    EDIT: By classic I mean the standard mode.

    NS2 classic as in NS2c or just NS2? Because both are better than combat, just want to know to which you are referring.

    Classic hands down...its like coke v pepsi.

    Combat never floated my boat, if I want to play a deathmatch style game there are many better games in that format.

    I like the strategy that goes into classic, choosing tech options not only for yourself but for your team makes it more interesting.

    Combat I always felt like I was playing solo alien and not part of the swarm.

    NS1 combat was fun. After 3.0, combat beat normal. NS1 2.4 was the best NS1 normal, imo; better atmosphere than NS2.

    Right down the bottom, there was no 2.4. <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/static/Natural_Selection_Manual.html" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/static/Nat...ion_Manual.html</a>

    Some good maps coming around for co_, I give it a month or 2 before it starts really taking off.

    I got 1.04 and 2.01 mixed up. Basically, the last patch before 3.0.

    Thank though.

    You gotta love combat just for the pure fact that they brought back devour for the onos. Though will have to agree that many times combat is unbalanced since many of the upgrades and abilities are based off of standard game play, i.e. buildings. That’s why I am just so waiting for buildmenu and xmenu. There’s also many more maps for combat and my personal favorite, aliens don't have to worry about egg regen.

    Let's agree to disagree. I don't quite see where this thread was supposed to go, no real discussion possible... It's simply a matter of taste.

    I'm going to go ahead and close this.
