So much hyperbole.
Could you give me examples of what you are saying? The phrase, "Catering to the lowest common denominator," sounds cool and makes you seem way above those lowly noobs, but it doesn't really mean anyth… -

What are you on about? What discriminatory thing did he say? It really seems like you are being uber-sensitive and overreacting.

I think you are missing his point. It has nothing to do with the players, it's because NS2 wasn't designed with that large of servers in mind. It throws the balance off completely, giving marines a huge advantage and forcing aliens… -

I think masturbation proves you wrong. -
How close have you gotten the game to your original vision?
Was there any part of your original concept that has proved impossible to implement?
Have you considered expanding the NS universe with more games? -
Graphics junkies are the most annoying gamers.
Yawn. -

I didn't insult you. I simply pointed out that you are not important enough for them to hunt down and kill your post. You're not a journalist or a respected game developer, you're just some guy with a persecution complex bitching o… -

Who is dismissing anything?
I was just curious at what age people start referring to "these days." I mean was he saying games in the 90's were harder? The 80's? The 70's? I've heard this sentiment a lot and usually by… -

Curious how old you are, making a statement like that. I hear people say this all the time and they rarely seem old enough to make such a judgement.

I doubt they are concerned. It's not like you are important enough for anyone to care what you say.

Cause that's some evil ice. -
Ah. I haven't played combat because it is a terrible abomination that ruined NS1 and was going on my memories of devour in NS1.
My point was that one hit kill weapons are point and click,they all take about the same amount of skill, barr… -

You have to aim a melee attack as well. In NS1 it was really easy to miss with devour. -

A marine with a jet pack is as hard to hit with a melee attack as a Fade is with a ranged one. They both come down to putting the crosshair on something and clicking. The fade is quicker but has to come into melee range.

Very serious, because I am right. Unless you can explain how a ranged one hit kill weapon takes more skill than a melee one hit kill weapon.

It takes the same amount of skill as the shotgun or railgun, perhaps a bit more since you have to be closer.
Do you want to get rid of the shotgun and railgun as well? -

We need good guys with concedes to stop the bad guys with concedes.
Better to have a concede and not need it than to need a concede and not have it.
Concede control means only the criminals have concedes.From my cold dead hands!Am I in the minority as an experienced player who still prefers shift hive starts?
I always feel that skulks shouldn't be trying to go toe to toe with the marines and should instead focus on hit and run tactics meant to damage the Marine…(Quote)
I agree. Also, concede shouldn't end the game instantly, it should just stop the conceding team from spawning.(Quote)
As a 40 year old gamer who started with Pong, got an Atari 2600 in 1979, and fondly remembers playing Ultima on my 12mhz 286 in 1984, I have to say that you are completely missing the point.
Even back then no one played…(Quote)
I get the impression that these guys think they can kill the game or something. I've ran into them several times and they always brag about "killing another server." It's obvious that these are weak and ineffective people trying t…(Quote)
Why do you guys who like high population severs get so upset about other people not liking them?
The game doesn't scale well, that's a fact. So high population servers do deliver a sub-optimal NS2 experience (I'm sure t…(Quote)
That must have been one hell of a fun ship.

Amusingly, thinking you know enoug…As a 40 year old gamer I have to tell you that all this "Kids today are poor sports" stuff is bunk. People have always rage quit games. Even board games. I had some friends when I was a kid that went through controllers super fast because they kept…(Quote)
Let me get this straight. You are arguing that people who say the devs designed the game for a certain number of players are wrong because the devs have said that they want to support more players. You admit that the game in its …You are avoiding my questions.
I have read that. It doesn't change the fact that the game does not scale well to 24 players.
You are taking things on faith, I am looking at the reality of the situation. If you look at the sta…(Quote)
So you think they intended to make it work for larger servers and completely ignored the egg scaling issue and released a game that was broken and haven't fixed it yet even though they have worked tirelessly on many other issues?Ok. Fair enough. Playtesters are volunteers, I take it?
It's totally fine if you prefer large servers and that isn't dependent on whether the devs designed things that way or not. You like what you like. I personally think the game tota…
