You're quitting gaming for trade work? Where I live trade apprenticeships are pretty easy to come by, and when you aren't at work, you don't have homework or anything but free time. My biggest problem with gaming is when it makes me procrastinate on other things, and when I'm working 9-5 I have nothing to procrastinate on... you just get your job done and call it a day.
I respect your dedication anyways :p best of luck!

Man. Finally.
There were ALOT of top notch maps that I knew were up to specs for offical inclusion, but Zunni took off and I thought none of them would make it. I'm really really glad that at least one got there. Shiva went through tonnes of testing, and many cal level clanners thought it was easily one of the best balanced NS maps we had ever seen (not me, but I did like the map none the less). Grats to moult, he deserved this one.

It's also not "lolfighter sits on his high horse and assumes **** day". I understand that Maddox is the only person in the world justified in being angry and that's cool. But the horse, she is so tired of carrying you for this long[snapback]53637[/snapback]

I doubt it will be as functional as the current mouse/keyboard for practical movements... but for knee jerk reactions players will probably get pretty frigging good at setting the crosshair on a target really frigging fast. I'd love to try some FPS on that thing anyways.
I'm glad they are still including the wavebird setup. Not every game is a shooter or a fishing game.
I really can't wait to see what it adds to the next mario game
[edit] it IS an astetically hideous device though...

I've heard whispers. I hope they decide they have something publicly presentable pretty soon, since from what I have heard the concept work is pretty frigging cool.QuoteYour best bet of playing NS is not playing LM sad.gif
Not enough of us here pub NS enough to propagate a good server with regulars, and with the current total stoppage of NS growth there is never any new players on the server to drag the old regs back in. A bunch of us have either moved on to other servers or compeditive play... A good bet would be trying the FR31 server, as I know a few LM regs have switched over to there. Also in the compeditive off season a few of us will have more time for pubbing.

With the minigun you can rowkill a good 3-4 lights and mids before they get enough damage on you to tip the scales. With the rocket launcher you get your one free kill if you have a compitent shot, then you better hope that the guy was a rambo or else you are bonified screwed because you won't be shooting a heavy weapon again for more then enough time for any weapon to kill you 5 times over. The ion gun is great as well if you make your shots count, but I find that often it just makes the heavy vulnerable to light players since they get up on you so fast. I'd much prefer my mini to rape anything that comes within 20 feet of me instantly.

2 mines
wasn't hard at all once I figured out the mine placement. There's even LOTS of room for improvement there as I don't have nearly the airspeed I could off of either of those two jumps, and I could have gotten the second mine higher up then I did making for an easier vent entrance jump.

I didn't mind the sniper although I found the AR overall more powerful... remove the heavy class from the game and mediums are fine, but 1v1 mediums always seem to get smashed by heavies and on the other end they are usually only able to match if not slightly outdo the damage that lights do. Given the choice I would rather just light for the extra speed bonus and extra implant slots.QuoteHeavy classes kill everything with thier minigun, and are pretty much useless with either other weapon,Minigun reduces mobility so much that you can just snipe them around corners or grenade them. I always take ion cannon as heavy.
Or maybe I just suck at the minigun. I've just never done nearly as well with it as with the ion cannon or sniper rifle (yes, I don't find mediums useless either).[snapback]53523[/snapback]
Minigun does slow the game down for the heavy a fair bit, but it allows you to decimate most opponents in a fraction of a second without much concious thought about how precisely you are aiming your crosshair. Considering the heavy is so much of a tank that it is rarely hard to hit anyways, the lack of a bit of movement speed isn't usually an issue if you pick your battlegrounds well and don't let stuff sneak up on you unexpectedly. And how can you call the current rocket launcher balanced?

Wow.Back in the old days of SF when knifa was still around the "NO" used to be big and in red. Almost like "locked" on the NS forums.
Maybe this sort of iron-fist rule is what drives people away? Yeah, a label on a thread doesn't do much. But how you react to a suggestion to change it might.[snapback]53379[/snapback]

Dystopia is ok, but largely unbalanced and quite dissapointing in many ways. Too many of the weapons the classes use are mostly unusable in comparison to thier optional counterparts, and alot of the good ideas were implimented in a fairly dissapointing way. Heavy classes kill everything with thier minigun, and are pretty much useless with either other weapon, lights have some decent stopping power between the shotty and cloak/blade, they also have the advantage of being nessicary for hacking. Mid players are largely useless except in the rare occation you need to spam the hell out of a tight doorway with the GL. They really don't counter lights effectively enough, and they get slaugtered by the minigun just as quickly and easily as lights do.
There was a really cool concept behind this mod, and I have to say I really enjoy the assault, objective based, style gameplay. But the weapons and classes are no where NEAR polished up enough as far as balance goes for a demo release (they should have called it a public beta) and I personally find cookie cutter teams a HUGE dissapointment.

Standing walls are standard, most teams don't like getting thier feet grenaded out from under them, and for a good builder the time difference is inconsequential.
