  • Free updates, wee! I think I'm going to have to start buying additional copies of NS2 to gift to my friends (... what? I have friends!) since I can't order plushies or t-shirts to EU, just to keep you guys going.
  • Disk management counts drives differently than many other programs. Disk 0 is the first disk in disk management, but most software display it as disk 1, so disk 4 in most software is disk 3 in disk management.
  • Troubleshooting an issue like this is often not easy. If you believe the problem to be trivial enough to not warrant a day long stress test, you can skip it. However, this would definitively eliminate instability from a bad overclock as the cause of…

    An hour of prime95 testing is not enough to test for stability, especially when we're talking about such a huge overclock. I have seen prime95 fail even after 16 hours due to an unstable overclock, which meant that the system could…
  • I think you should try another HDD test, such as HDTune and Seatools. Moreover, I don't mean to be rude, but how long have you run the stability tests to make sure your OC is stable? Anything less than a successful 24-hour burn with no WHEA errors i…

    Buy a new copy of NS2 every couple of months to give away to someone :p

  • There are some really good guides over at head-fi.org if you're an audiophile. For example: http://www…
  • Sennheiser HD598 along with a Zalman ZM-MIC 1

    Very clear sound (you can hear a pin drop) with excellent positional audio. The mic is also very good despite it's low price.
  • I should coax all the aliens in one of those 24 player servers to go Gorge and just babblerrush the marine start. It would be glorious.
  • Never ever change the name of Verily, Upon Satan's Butthole. Cracks me up big time.

  • At 20 pres the shotgun should be more viable than the rifle. But even so, when you're standing in a room with the corpses of two skulks and a lerk littered about you, you can't help but feel that something is amiss.

    Or hell, someti…

  • Marine movement is in a good place, IMO. If something had to be done, it would be a boost to the Skulk's mobility.

    We have enough clumsy shooters out there. I like the extra dimension to the fights you get from being able to weave around …
  • Personally I kind of feel like the infestation should be just a by-product of the alien structures. Where ever structures are built, infestation will begin to grow.

    The fact that everything has to be linked back to a hive is an unnecessar…
  • I also have this problem and have been getting it for as long as I've been playing.

    As it happens, I also have a solution for this: lower your mouse's USB polling speed. I always suspected this was the cause, but didn't care enough to te…
  • Atmospheric sounds would be a welcome addition. I was wondering about this myself a while ago...
  • Avoid Razer at all costs, is all I can say.
  • Very enjoyable games. Glad to see tunnels used aswell, though I'm still not entirely convinced they're worth it.
  • Good idea. Perhaps someone kind enough can create a mod for this in the mean time for a temporary fix.
  • Find a server with a good community, a good group of regulars and stick to it, is my experience. You'll have atleast somewhat stable matches, and when you play with the same folk over and over again, you learn a thing or two along with everyone else…
  • I think XML files open in IE by default. You want to open it in a text editor, like notepad. Then just change the values and save.

    The value you need to change is found between the two tags. <x-resolution>1920</x-resolution>
  • I have noticed this aswell, though most of the time it's because a cyst was lost somewhere, but the chain remains connected to a hive through another route. It's as if the chain only keeps track of the last known route, and if it's lost, they discon…
  • I do hope others keep vigilant and record this sort of thing. These people need to be gotten rid of.
  • I actually disabled AO today and I can't for the life of me see the difference. It's obvious when you cycle through the setting and watch the game change, but after setting it and forgetting it... I can't notice it's off? And my FPS got a nice boost…
  • I know I've died atleast once because an alien was babbler-shielded and I couldn't get him in time due to it.

    That said, they don't really have any actual use. Sometimes people use them to kill unattended marine structures while the Gorg…
  • Only marine buffs, wtf? I knew UWE was biased!
  • Give Shade hives Scent of Fear back and make Shades reveal enemies as well as cloak friendlies, like Sensory Chambers did in NS1. Might make it more worthwhile.

    I know people can be assholes, but I find it hard to believe anyone would have so much free time and money in their hands they would just create new Steam accounts and buy games for the purpose of trolling people by hacking. Seriou…

    This is what's bugging me aswell. While the aliens are certainly at a fault for not scouting properly, you often don't get any early warning that your hive is about to be sieged. And once you're being sieged, in most cases it's alr…
  • They're different. I think I liked the NS1 siege cannons better, because it was a much more permanent resource investment and it involved the marine team aswell, by forcing them to build the factory and the cannons themselves.. These ones are all bu…
  • The thing to consider is also that while losing an extractor will set your team resources back by 10, it will keep producing personal resources for your team until the very end, which they will of course keep. In essence, you're trading team resourc…
