I thought we were comparing HDD's and SSD's? I consider the ludicrous cost per GB to be a large factor in my decision to stick with HDD. I do admit that SSD's provide performance gains over standard HDD's, but I won't pay a 900% pr… -

Yeah Spark really can't compare to those other game engines since it still needs to be optimized nearly a year post-release!
Could go on about the fps issues you can only experience in NS2, but you'll just have to take my wor… -
What does 1-CC Proto bring to the table? I can only speak from a pub perspective and I say it does nothing for pub play whatsoever (well actually that's a lie as I do enjoy last stands and prolonging the game for several more minutes). What benefits…

Yeah great recommend SSD all you like, but that's not really addressing the issue of the OP.
For roughly the same cost one can buy either a 1TB HDD or a 64GB SSD. That's definitely a no-brainer for me! -
Other than the diagnostics, are you people seriously telling this person to buy something unnecessary to fix an issue that may be inherent with the game itself? You don't need an SSD that will at most let you load a few seconds faster. My buddy has …

NS2 is the only game I have installed in my dedicated video game drive (old 10k OEM WD I salvaged) that utterly thrashes it during precache/map loads. It happens pretty randomly, but I can tell NS2 is doing nasty things to it when … -
(Quote) Funny thing is how these comebacks can only happen if the aliens are mentally handicapped. The 1-CC comeback is only possible if the entire alien team doesn't understand the concept behind basetrading. The entire premise behind the 1-CC c…

I don't know about you, but I for one enjoy gibbing skulks with my railgun laser of doom. Hold for half a second, point at skulk, watch the light show, and hey easy kill. What's not to like? It's such a shame what UWE did with the … -

Yeah I highly doubt we'll see pigs flying outside our windows anytime soon...
Though I suppose one way to emulate the NS1 system while keeping alien comm would be to completely remove alien rt->pres production, intro… -
We need pigs attached to Lerks for dive bombing purposes. Make it happen UWE.

(Quote) Your elitist rant aside, that statement is pretty funny. Though it should be "terribly complicated FPS masquerading as a RTS" in my opinion.

The cons still outweigh the pros in my opinion when it comes to pub play. There's no point adding a mechanic to the detriment of many to benefit the few.
I don't know if we're playing the same game or not, but kills are… -
(Quote) Because most people don't play 6v6. Though by all means keep balancing the entirety of the game for the minority of the playerbase.
Here's a bright idea! Why not just hardcap servers to 12p so the game becomes easier to balanc… -

If RFK is implemented to solve that problem then the entire res model would have to be reworked to accomodate it. For one thing Aliens have to rely solely on RFK completely independent from RT pres production. Why? All RFK does (wi… -

Help who? It doesn't stop the rookies from being trolled. Placing rookies in their own little world where they circlejerk each other in how to play the game the wrong way isn't going to help them one bit once they step out into the… -
(Quote) So why the irrelevant quote then?
Also you forgot to add that non-green players should not be able to enter rookie servers just for the occasional trolling. But like I said not that it would work given that the distinction bet… -
Well we've reached an impasse here. Your 'solution' is a crock since green status doesn't last all that long and you'll still be raping these players when they join the server you're on. You won't change how you play as it is your right to enjoy the…

You tried real hard by not dying. Really you did! I'm amazed at how hard you tried while at the same time not scoring a single death!
You were fully aware that the server is filled with rookies. You are entitled to enjo… -

That's pretty much the issue here. Green status last what? 3 hours? That's nowhere near enough time to even begin to grasp the intricacies of alien gameplay. It doesn't help that people purposely troll rookie servers just to feed t… -

Well then the devs can take out 24p servers and force 12p max. But that would be dumb as 24p servers are rather popular. You know why they are popular? People like big games, "lower skilled players" have less of a detrimental impac… -

I'm not disagreeing that the changes to the cyst made them more viable in terms of game balance (even though in my opinion mass expand is still brain dead easy), but what other purpose does the mechanic serve other than a headache … -
(Quote) You know how frustrating it is to recyst when some nutjob with a JP/FT is burning down your cysts throughout the map? Hell it doesn't even have to be a JP/FT, just some random marine with an axe running around chopping down cysts. It's st…

Would Planetside 2 count? Though I suppose that's more of an example of the devs ignoring most of the input of the community during beta so they can push ahead with their own vision of the game. Then start backtracking months later… -
I'm tempted to say that the Onos health nerf is part of the plan to help marines with the comeback. I mean yeah sure marine turtle means 1-base/1-RT while the aliens have the rest of the map, but these eggs aren't cheap. Aliens bashing their head ag…

(Quote) Yet the devs have decided to follow this route and apply changes to the side that is already notorious for prolonging games needlessly. Would be interesting to see the 'stat' the devs used to justify this change considering most player st…

UWE doesn't want to implement the aliens having some sort of endgame superweapon that can be researched when controlling every tech point besides the single marine CC. Just a simple research that will automatically end the game when its completed (o…

I'm actually amazed that UWE hasn't reverted cysts before the whole radius anti-spam bs given that the creep mechanic is all but useless for the aliens now. Every 'balance' change to the cyst is all but pointless since marines can … -
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?
Just wanted to write that. And not bored enough to argue with a wall over PM so I'll drop it. -
Game's still on sale buddy. Hell I've seen 3 sales for NS2 (1 on steam) since b250.
