AVP has facehugger for multiplayer? H4x! i have never seen 1 before in multi!
Anyhow im still all for atmospheric, NS is going "less atmospheric" every build which is totally bringing NS down the drain to being a typical HL DM game except with a cool resource system. The storyline is thrown off, the manual is tottaly outdated because almost every damn thing on marine was buffed up. And its going WAY off track of what NS was "supposed" to be. Balanced and heavily atmoshperic. I mean take a look at the intro video, if anything it looks scary. But now, in 3.0 they make paper thin skulks and alien "tanks" that die in less than 5 seconds of showing itself to a few marines with a HMG. The game went from "oh crap, they got a fade / Onos, guys stick together. to: "Teamwork?, who need teamwork? i got my HMG/jp and medspam. I can clear this ship / complex all by myself.
Thats 1 reason why I hate when MODS get big. Devs are too "busy" to listen to good suggestions and only listen to the email spammers / their friends at home (in NS's case im betting most were CS/DOD junkies v_v )
Im going to end my final statement on this topic now.
Ns basically sucks via 3.0 builds. If it wasn't for LM I would have definetly quit and never looked back at this damn game ever again. It's going downhill and we all know that, there's possibly little hope that this soon will turn into a "clan" competative game. NS 2 (if there is ever going to be one) is going to be horrible as well after a few builds. (in other words, when the HL DM nubs get their hands on flayra email address.)
I really can't wait for B5 to come out, so i can have an excuse to post how much this game has sucked since 1.0- pre 2.0 in the NS.org forums.
Thats my overall sumed up take on this game, and when I find another game to replace this "sinking" one, i sure as hell will jump aboard that ship hoping it won't sink like the titanic in which is the direction of NS.
