"Big changes" - does this mean that things that were broken 8 months ago will finally get fixed? Will NS2 be restored to its former glory or will it be more of the same?
I'm hoping for the former but I'm not holding my breath. -
Ten months ago if you would have told me that NS2 was going to be in the state that it is in now I would have spit out my drink. It's simply amazing how far this game has fallen from greatness. At one point in time this game was my 2012 GOTY. It …

Exactly. Had this donation campaign been before the whole rebalance scandal I would have donated. NS2 was my most played and favorite game from December 2012 to June 2013. I haven't played NS2 for nearly 2 months now. They kill… -
Saturday I had a LAN Party. We did 5v5 with mostly new people. Only a friend and I had real experience with NS2.
Most people were playing completely blind to the basic mechanics. All they knew was to shoot the aliens and eat the human… -

Your solution to this whole mess is to just keep quiet and deal with it? That doesn't solve anything. The majority of people keep quiet but move on to another game and never come back. Those of us who are complaining are passion… -

I have 7 alt accounts for people to play on during LAN Parties so I will just buy a 4 pack on 2 of the accounts. Even if you don't plan on putting them all on alt accounts you still get 2 extra alt accounts for the same price as b… -
It's weird how there isn't even a small percentage off like with every other game that gets in the flash or daily deals later on. Will this game not go to 75% off?
I really hoped that it would by Saturday because I have a LAN Party star… -

Or you can see how player peaks went from 2,924 people to 1,477 people in 1 week following the last sale. That's a 49.5% loss. It's still dropping too.
The majority of players who try out this game end up quitting. T… -

There are a number of reasons why I didn't like NS1 and NS2 250. Here are a few of them:
* Things are very tedious. For instance armories do not heal your armor anymore. NS1 did this too. When I go to base all I wan… -
Last week I went back and played NS1 with some other people. It reminded me why I never played NS1. NS1 itself is okay. The problem was that there were simply more entertaining alternatives available. Instead of playing NS1 during the golden HL1…

You know maybe they were right about video games turning people into killers. When I first started NS2 I found it very hard to kill those cute Gorges. Now I don't even blink an eye.

And here I thought that the Humans were just reaping what they sowed. Damn. I guess the Humans really are the good guys. -
2 people banned and pages of debate over a realistic female marine. What.
Did the trolls come out of the woodwork for just this moment or are there really that many sexist people out there?
At first I thought i… -

I played some NS1 again over the weekend and I have to admit, I prefer it over NS2 250. Even with the horrid control scheme (Blink as a separate "weapon") I was more effective as a Fade in NS1 than I am in NS2 250. I wasn't some … -
Bunnyhopping is a far more difficult process than just pressing shift + spacebar (shadowstep jump.) It's a very unnecessarily complex form of movement. That's why I never bothered to learn bunnyhopping in my 18 years of FPS play to begin with. I'…

The new Fade feels like a wheezing and coughing alien with black lung. Whenever I entered combat with the new Fade I was down to at least 50% energy, if not lower.
The funny thing is that I was pretty good at conserving energy with the … -
I'm pretty sure the sentry battery bug was in the other mod. I found that bug during testing and fixed it.
I do agree that we really ought to pool our resources. Fragmentation will be the death of us. -

The only server (24 players) running B249 has been packed all day. No worries here. -

So what you're saying is that Fade is effectively useless. The whole point of a Fade was to be an assassin. Fades were the anti-personnel choice of the Aliens. Now all they are good at is slapping Marines around and wheezing aro… -

This rebalance is a joke, right? Because after my experience tonight I sure am laughing.
Tonight marked the first time I played alien in 250, and boy was it bad.
First off I get introduced to the new Skulk. First thing I no… -

This is exactly the kind of attitude that will destroy the community and the game. Evolve or die? Seriously?

Who needs to uninstall when there are at least 2 revert mods in the works? Why accept defeat? If the person I've talked to doesn't release theirs in the next couple of days like they've said I will release the one I am working on. Currently it ru…

This is not the end. There are those of us who are willing to do what it takes to keep the game alive.
I wasn't the only one who had the idea to make a normalization (pre-250 gameplay) mod. I was playing last night an… -
If BT were kept a mod I would have no problem with it. Trying to force BT onto us only forces my hand. Why should the people who don't like BT mod have to "deal with it"? You realize that the anti-BTers will likely just leave if a vanilla mod isn…

I'll see what I can do about making a mod that reverts gameplay back to 249. It should be easy enough. The real problem would be getting a server to host it.
Maybe we could even start our own balance mod that focuses on making things e… -

A little brash on your choice of words but I agree with the point that you're trying to make.
Raising the complexity and respectively the skill curve won't only drive away the little casuals you have left but it will al… -
If this mod ends up getting implemented I won't be playing NS2 anymore, simple as that.

I got my 8800GT when it first came out. I remember snatching it on Newegg right as it came back into stock. The cards were originally priced at $300 but I got mine for $330 because of the high demand.

Filter full filters away a lot of servers. It looks like you're in the North America region based on your pings. I just checked the list myself and I came up with 5 non-modded, non-full, non-EU servers versus your 2. I had a stricter ping limit s…
