Compared to what? Having the game be easy-mode and boring so the puppies can feel like they accomplished something skillful with the least amount of effort possible? That sounds like a real winner too.

What made the GL mounted onto the LMG so bad?
I'm on the fence on how specialized the GL is. You hardly ever see it in pro-games. And it's mostly due to the effective strength you lose vs. lifeforms for the increased damage output to str… -

This is more a question out of curiosity, than trying to argue your point:
Does the loss of 3 Bio-Mass not have a huge impact on the Aliens ability to keep maintaining/gaining map dominance? I understand, and agree that… -

Not hard to deal with as a competent Lerk/Fade as you should have 1 or 2 of each by the time JP's hit the field. But yes, soloing Hives with silly puppies jumping all around you is cute.in When did the noob GL spam start... Comment by Afterhours January 2014

@Cuel
I definitely don't think its a problem. GL's can damage the user, so, point-blank explosions in the face usually mean the GL Marine is gonna die too fro… -
Gotta love those 10v10 servers.

Guys... it's a freaking joke. Not a "look at how gosu I am" vid.

"Marines that fight an Onos alone typically die." Loved it.

Exactly. It's going to require movement by the server moderator or some mod to remove these Rookies from the Non-Rookie servers. My comments more or less line up for extremely new players. -
GOGO ASC!

The screenshot won't prove or disprove any point, so no, I'm not wasting my time to do that. I can already tell you there's more Rookie-Friendly/Only servers than there are White ones with decent ping for NA West. (Yes, Rookie-FRIENDLY also shows up…

Maybe to you. But not everyone has 5000 local Green servers to choose from. Any other moronic assumptions you would like to make about this discussion?
And you both keep saying I've missed the point when I've clearly ou… -
Comming with no voice? The horror! XD
Oh I take that back. You figured it out. lol

Lol the irony.
I don't give 2 shits about Rookies and Rookie games on Non-Rookie servers. It's unavoidable in the current state of the game, and bitching about it does absolutely nothing. If anything, the negative behav… -

You totally missed my point. GG. -

That's not forcing people to play on a server. That's adding restriction to a server that RESTRICTS players access. You cannot force a player to play on a less desirable server. All players go for the lowest ping server (that's wel… -

Again then, Why are you having such a hard time with Rookie players playing on a Non-Rookie labeled server, but are in-fact still Rookie level games? And seriously? Don't care based on how much they paid for a game? I hope to god t… -

Compared to what? Omnipotent players who know how to play the game like a pro the minute they install it? You say you want more organized play (in Pub games lol), but "don't have the time to invest in it". That's your problem, not … -
Weak post is weak.
Are you seriously complaining about new players behaving, I don't know, maybe...new? Like they've never played the game before so they may not realize that there are servers set up for new-comers?
And serio… -
Odd post to see after all the games I've been playing for the past week.
I've been playing on Hyperion Servers (NA West) for the past week and have been experiencing a pretty even winrate for both races, at all points in the game. (for t… -
^ Completely disagree.
Combat feels so much better now that it takes a little brains to kill a marine. We've all felt the frustration of the god-like aim of a good marine as a skulk. You just have to reassess how you're playing your game… -

The first bite is just as easy as the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. Movement, and positional awareness is the key.

Keep marine mobility as is. Its nice not to feel like you're carrying 50 tons on you. Upgrade Alien mobility if it causes serious balance issues (which I doubt highly, the meta shifted, people are readjusting atm). Honestly, "jump marines" are only …

Will be buying my Shadow Package after work tonight. Pleasantly surprised by the community support. I love NS2 and UWE.

Completely irrelevant. Anybody can say, "well giving Halo 4 matchmaking would be pointless for it because WoW has so many more players than it."
What steps need to be taken to ensure NS2 retains the players it gains fro… -

Do you have any reasoning to back up that statement? Or are you just bandwagoning?
-
What if I told you that the lack of playerbase is because of a lack of matchmaking? NS2 obviously pulls in big numbers when it has sales on steam and the like, enough numbers to validate a MM system.
I find it really, really, clos… -

How so? Matchmaking literally means it will match you with other players of equal or close-to skill. If you continue to perform as a casual player through months of playing, it is very likely you will be matched with people of the …
