Yes, you must work as a team on aliens now, but if the rines are a good team it won't matter. Today, I played a game when we had 3 hives around 5 times. That's how overpowered rines are. The game kept going back and forth. Every onos we got died sooner or later and the HAs were feared. In the end, since the alien team was more organized and the rines weren't performing to their potential, the aliens would have won (the map changed due to a vote since the game was already over an hour long).

I want in on this one. I've followed this game a little, and I'll always try to beta test a game that looks somewhat interesting.

Oh my, funniest things in the world. The last two are awesome. crack sure did go crazy with that GL. It was funny; yesterday I killed crack with a handgrenade by throwing it in a hallway on ns_metal all the way into the hive. You can throw those suckers far...

General / Would There Ever Be A Lunixmonster Clan?

« on: January 28, 2004, 05:11:25 AM »

Well, if you want a clan, there is basically a Lunixmonster one. Clan NCR has a lot of people that play on the LM server often. Other than that, I don't think a clan will arise, but you never know I suppose...

I agree a little with Ven too, although the problems should be fixed. It is his game, but I think that Flayra will realize eventually that he'll need to listen to actually go somewhere with his company (especially to start off). The only thing I cannot stand at all is the lag (when combined with my high ping already; then it gets really bad sometimes). I also find it somewhat amusing that you guys complain about a 200+ ping when I play with it all the time (but that's off-topic).

Another thing Ven mentioned was that you need to adapt to the new version. This is very true for regular NS. If you're in a group of skuks, you can take out marines easy -- the same is true for Combat (although still not as effective).

Now back to Flayra; he receives all these donations, and I'm sure that he doesn't just use it to by things he wants. If he has any business sense (which I'm sure he does), he'll use it to further NS.

Lastly, this is a beta, and all the quirks will eventually get pretty much worked out. And of course, not everyone will be happy with the end result, but then a lot of people will be. We just need to be somewhat optimistic.

Yeah, I though it was weird that skulks die so fast. In 2.01, you would've been said to be using h4x when killing skulks left and right. Although it does need balancing, I still find it fun to play just because of the additions. Combat is really fun but could also use some balancing (*cough* upgrading for aliens *cough*). It's also by far more fun to be a rine in Combat.

EDIT: I forgot one of the most important things: it's laggy as hell. I have my nice dial-up modem and could play the game relatively well before, but now when it starts to lag, it's unplayable. It didn't lag bad yesterday for a long time, but then on co_kestrel, I believe, it was as if skulks were teleporting. And for some reason, the aliens didn't seem to have a big problem with the lag as much as us rines...

Yeah it is powerful. In combat you can have a party (esp. early in the game).

General / Dual Install?

Thanks. I just found that out when I visted Planet Half-Life. I never actually looked at the install; I guess it's a good idea to do that first :huh:.

« on: January 25, 2004, 07:01:34 AM »

I was wondering if it was possible in any way to have both 3.0 and 2.01x installed, since I don't want to go back and forth.

General / Ns 3.0 Beta To Be Released

« on: January 24, 2004, 10:44:02 AM »

ARGH I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG. GIVE ME INFO NOW!!!!111!!11!uno!1

Just when I was about to send in my twenny bux... Mostly hoping that I could get in on the beta, because I ar te llama and can't justify a 20 dollar donation unless I'm at church. Mostly I wanted in through some foolish idea that maybe as a beta tester I could have some impact on the way the game ended up, as everything I've heard about balancing the game with the same stats for both classic and combat sounds really bad.

It's not that far away. If it is truly realeased before the end of Jan., then it'll be hear nice and quick (just how being digested should be).

Exactly. I think it's a slug. I would post it, but like I said...not in the mood of uploading.
