<p>Identifying NS2 versions by Build number has benefits and drawbacks. On the one hand, it’s fun to know that this is going to be the 238th version of NS2 (The initial builds being protoplasmic versions of the Source Development Kit). On the other hand, how many versions have there been since launch? To find out, we need high-order mathematics.</p>

    Even the Devs compare NS2 to a toilet?

    It's always been the most logical way to start the game, and it actually gives the Marine Commander a chance at doing some stuff (like hive blocking) since he can be in the chair at the same time as the Alien Commander! (couldn't before due to login animation)

    Great change.

    Straight from their twitter.

    @system is a jerk, always denying us our builds and whatnot. Needs to stop drinking on his robo-job

    I think it would still be cool to see the actual poster rather than 'system' or 'unknownwworlds'. It's a little like someone left a mark of quality control and approval there. It's also kind of useful for context; you'll have different kind of mindset for reading a NS2HD or Max article, seeing the poster there allows you to adjust a bit.

    Those play tests are really cool to watch but it would have been better if the person speaking could talk about the changes and fixes that will come with 238. That way it can be both fun and informative :D

    Agreed. I think we'll be able to do this shortly (looking into it).

    A) thank you for the link to the full story from these forums, that's the one thing I'd asked for so I'm a very happy bunny!
    B) loving the mobile version of the forums, much more user friendly and fast.
    C) can't wait to get playing the new patch!


    Great stuff, keep it coming :-)

    Super excited for the commander change. So sick of games where rines get utterly obliterated because someone takes forever to take over comm.

    It doesn't stop a noob/troll from jumping into the command chair and then back out again whilst there are only 2 people on each team. The solution requires a warmup time added so that people can actually join the teams first. I will continue being ignored though...

    Nsguy, you might be right but this is a step in the right direction and likely help in majority of situations. One to keep an eye on. As more and more people get ssds, it will become less useful to have a prematch timer!

    They'd ruin it if they stayed too, and you'd never know that was their intent until too late.
