But seriously, there is also shadow onos and shadow fade coming eventually.
I feel like it shouldn't be considering 32-bit OS is officially unsupported
"Build your soldier / alien" should be the way to go, yes. I think even Aliens Colonial Marines had different head forms for their aliens.
I also think you could make alternative models / model parts easier to work with the general theme of NS2, skins are always risky in that case because you need them to be colored differently to the other skins. I think it makes much more sense for an army like TSF to have all marines wearing the same color palette but have different armor types or different armor parts. The same goes for the aliens.
What the hell

you thought i just smashed my keyboard but really this is a surname
I hate microtransactions and the game wasn't purchased as such. DLC microtransactions are the only aspect of this game that's keeping it from being gold.
Budget seems to be a huge issue for UWE or their needs are largly inflated. Yet, that shouldn't matter to games that you must purchase, that doesn't have a story, that's based off the population of the game. DLC.... REALLY? Does UWE want to be a joke?
Perspective is everything and that's a game you can't develoup with terminology alone.
Yes we have had a large influx of rookies, but the game has been priced at £3.49 recently. Sure, that will cover a little bit of development costs, but there are other business expenses.
Take for example this current problem of Anti-Virus products warning against NS2 because it is not signed. UWE are in the process of getting it signed, but certification costs a lot money.
I am absolutely sure, that if you want NS2 to stay exactly as it is now, UWE can pull the additional funds they have made available. Some people however want this game to see continued development, so it needs continued investment.
You should be grateful that the only DLC for NS2 is cosmetic. There are no unlocks to buy or anything like that, so it only changes the look of players. This is a good thing, although admittedly it would be better if NS2 had been successful enough to not have needed DLC.
However, we live in the real world, and the situation is, this money is needed for NS2 to continue to grow. I don't get your problem, you claim the game without DLC is 'gold', and yet you want to see the game die.
You are a sick pervert.
What's so demonic about "microtransactions" to begin with? So there's some cosmetic stuff you can CHOOSE to buy, that does not affect gameplay... It's not the end of the world.
Where is the simple filter to filter out rookie servers that I cannot join atm?
UWE money fork is poking holes in a great game. Where skins could have been reserved for a better purpose. The icons didn't have to dirty the score boards and also could have been for a better purpose...
You talk about price... the price of the game was just fine at $25.
I'm betting there's more to this, but it doesn't matter. I have a valid and reasonable opinion. Naming such DLC is incorrect and scam-ish.
3.5 years? the tits hurt! Make NS3 if you feel NS2 is old.
You probably weren't here at release if you think the game was perfect back then, there was no DLC, no badges and yet, it wasn't gold.
What's the scam?
We will be the judge of that - thank you very much...
It may involve some kind of DLC last gen webcam device
How does it affect you playing NS2?
He used to claim its a competitive advantage, especially because he is colour blind. Of course, it is also completely ridiculous, made worse by his objection to badges which is completely inexplicable.
Where is the fun in skins? Why can I not join in? Does UWE really need the money? I thought I paid for the game... The game isn't free today.
I have seen the advantages. I have 3k hours on record. Camoflauge does work. Especially against newest players. It works well against my color blindness too. It's far easier to look for one colored alien verses varied colored aliens. One skin can hide better or worse than the other on different terrain.
... The badges are like uniforms on the scoreboard.
I enjoy seeing server badges that have meaning, but not the badges that equate to money. I shouldn't have to see who can or cannot afford donations. I don't think having those badges on the score board are a good method in trying to mix with new players. Besides, to me, the badges were a sign of sellingout. No one needed to purchase "DLC" for me. It was and still is an ass move.
Besides my perceptions, it's reasonable for someone like me to steer clear of such things and why I think this game is suffering because of the skin market.
UWE aren't making money on the game anymore, or if they are its not a lot... and while they may not have servers that need paying for, they damn well sure do have staff that need paying for, and rent that needs paying etc etc etc.
Skins are as much of a boon as they are a buff, take your example... yeah, you're colourblind and that sucks, but if you're fighting a group of skulks, each using a different skin, it is WAY easier to focus fire on 1 of them to make sure it dies than if they were all using the same skin.
please, look at both sides of the situation before you claim something is just plain bad.

As for skin market being bad for a game, someone clearly has not heard of DOTA2, CS:GO and TF2. I still don't get his logic for disliking badges. What selling out? You buy it if you want to and seeing "who can afford donations" does nothing whatsoever.
I am ammused at being called ignorant in such a fashion.
You give excuses...I hear the most is because UWE needs money.
Should I just think of them as sellouts? They didn't need the money before the dropped reinforcement. With such responses and reasonings, I am only left to believe that UWE will take a game they sell to me, BACK and change it to make sells to a different crowd...
You can't argue with this because this is just how it all went down. Excuses are just excuses. Especially when you have a team of fans who have been with UWE since ns1. Then you argue that my perception is ignorant compared to someone who just joins NS2....
My take is that: a new player when learning just any of this would be disgusted and not care about NS2 and quit.
I've been playing still and have 3k hours on record from steam. So you can make you assumptions about my thinking or how I display myself, but just know that you may need to point that finger right back around. You all can seem just the same.
It would be very nice to know why you think the way you think.
