Some random ideas: Instead of buying a dual rail or minigun exo, let players choose which arm has what armament, as long as it doesn't have two railguns. You already could mix up the fist, minigun, and railgun, but I'm sure other weapons could be in…

(Quote) Just for those puns in particular. Use new ones next time, and you're good.

Axing or shooting harvesters should be a matter of situation, and less of a personal preference of what always happens. Shooting a RT will:
- Destroy the harvester faster, which cuts off its income faster, uses less of your time, and gives les…

I hope the comp scene slowly can restart. I always wanted to join in, but never could reliably play.

I've always kind of played as the best dead skulk on my team. I have a habit of dying, but when I do I usually did something pretty good that my team can usually take advantage of. I get a lot of assists, just not while I'm alive. Preferably, I woul…

Anyone else played that mod with electrified extractors from a robotics factory? It essentially removed res biting from the game once the marines bought it for all of their extractors. Horribly done PvE, as it destroyed a central game mechanic. Howe…

So, a 64 bit engine. I don't have a reddit account, so here's a question. Will NS2 Large run better for clients and/or the server thanks to this? And what affect will there be, if any, on the map editor?

Just don't make my pro pipe a spud launcher, okay? Take a good look at its characteristics and decide what to change. They give their damage out front, lowering the DPS back down due to the long reload. They can instant kill skulks/lerks, and will p…

Well, this thread went wacko. Really, the only purpose of the trello card was to make alien play a little more seamless. It isn't a conspiracy to make NS2 into Dota 3, and it isn't dumbing down. It's just an alternate control scheme that could impro…

Sometimes players gaining more information/better displaying information is good, and sometimes it is bad. The community has made it very clear that the implementation of health bars is controversial. This is partially because new … -
Although this thread has gotten derailed, I'll throw in my two cents. For one, if you were an early backer, I don't think you have any grounds whatsoever for demanding your money back. Not just because you were forced to agree to terms and condition…

I would especially like to see some standardization of the voting system. One button should be able to bring up a radial menu of player-server interactions. At the same time, it should remain open to additions by community servers. Some communities …

To avoid players having legacy problems, I agree that it should be an option. Some people might not be able to get used to the more moba style ability usage, even though it often cuts down on keystrokes.

inb4, someone just says "NS3 will have it".

Before this update, I have found that if I am being shot at outside of bite range as a skulk, it wouldn't matter if my hitbox was slightly larger or smaller. I've made a mistake, and I'm either going to die or be wounded. The most frustrating part o…

I can't tell if you're screwing with us or you actually heard something. -
Haven't read the whole thread, sorry, but I did hear someone suggest widening the skulk bite. What is its range/shape, anyway? It's the singular most important ability to the alien team, but I don't even know exactly how it works. Is it a short rang…

Might actually be a good idea, considering how infestation doesn't actually do structure damage, but just strips off the armor. It would remove a source of damage for the aliens, but it could make sneaky cyst chains more possible. … -
Diamond Gamers has a Dallas server, if I remember correctly. More of an open server, and you have to deal with their custom version of every map, but its pretty low latency for me. Ibis gaming has a newb friendly server, hosted in DC, I think. Also …

Wait. NS2 is 32 bit? But... Isn't it the current year?
Devsplain please. -
Could their possibly be an exploit or mod that mutes or lowers the res biting sound? I'd imagine that would be a pretty low key way to cheat for aliens. For me, I usually can't hear a marine while biting until they get critically close or open fire.

There are alternate game modes created via mods. I've only played a tiny bit of last stand and king of the hill. One of the nice parts about the LUA engine is that mods are easier to make. It still would be nice for an existing mod or a new one (lik…

(Quote) It just needs rifle butt, like the default weapon. That will fix everything. After all, rife butting has risen 300% since health bars let all marines perfectly plan their firing down to the last bullet.

I've heard other developers like to hide or generalize skill ratings due to the trend of players obsessing over numbers. If numbers get hidden in the future, I'd still like to see some more general/obscure form of ranking. in Bad ratings for imbalanced games Comment by Bike_Man July 2016

(Quote) Now that you mention it, accessibility is still probably a huge problem for the game. I know that when I bought NS2 it wasn't playable for me, either on a Vista desktop or my current laptop. I still can't play maps like Kodiak and Derelic…

Here's a few complaints I've heard on the forums:
Devour isn't in the game.
Cysts are annoying to kill.
Aliens are OP.
Therefore, buff marines by letting them devour cysts. -
I'll just put my two cents in here. There have been many suggestions for matchmaking, with or without free to play. I don't think matchmaking would ever fit in with this game, period. Besides the small player count, the skill differences of NS2 (whi…

Yes. Onos needs leap. Fades need charge. Lerks need slide. Gorges need flight. Skulks needs blink.
Marines need a segway. If nobody else does an edit for this, I can later on. -
The sideshow about interpersonal communication was entertaining, but this is what I hope to see happen in a patch soon: Cysts are better at showing their intended path before you place them. When a chain of cysts has been placed but not built yet, m…

Arcade Champion should be this: Play Wooza's, and then brag about how great it was on an 8v8 server.
