Marine Commander can be likened to being a fussy parent.
You do your best to set them up right, research the things they need, buy them Mech suits when they're shit out of res, obsess over their progress and slip them ammo and medkits when they're in danger.
But after a certain point, after you researched everything, you send them on their way and it's all up to them to win.

I always had this one super organized recon team that would sneak behind enemy lines and let me build a phase gate
While on the topic of commanders, does anyone feel as though they should have the ability to see through your marines/aliens eyes.
Like in a little picture in picture sort of thing
Playing this game with other new players makes it seem like I'm the only one who watched the tutorial-video. I mean, I racked up like 30 kills because Skulks rept running into me on ground (none of them climbing on walls, leaping etc.) when I was Exo with 2 miniguns. I pretty much kept the whole enemy team at bay while my teammates axe-murdere the hive. :v:
Tip: If you see a lonely exo and you're a skulk, just try to kill it. I've killed 3 exos on my own as a skulk now.
I dislike being the alien commander now, all the new players don't even know how to evolve.
Even though it tells you as you play and there's a tutorial video.
Uuugh.
Just bite him a few times, run to his other side because he'll turn around, bite another few times, repeat.
oh dag nabbit my automerge

If you get to Exos face as Onos, it's pretty clear who wins. The usual panic that sets in when there's an Onos in your face makes it even easier.
Anyone else just get a 201mb update?
This game really is amazing. Only played one game and didn't know what the fuck I was doing and we had a shit commander but man I had fun. Really hope they optimize it a bit more. I can run it maxed out fine on the gaming pc I have but a lot of friends want to get the game so would be nice to run it on my laptop for lans.
The update is supposed to be deluxe stuff.
They need Flamethrower Exosuits, and some way to place a welder/flamethrower/shotgun/grenade launcher on the first exosuit's spare hand.

Make Onii spit out fireballs while you're at it.
[QUOTE=GetBent;38269153]I suck at this game.
I can never bite anyone as a skulk, and I'm useless with the assault rifle.
Just like the first game.[/QUOTE]
get marines round the back as a skulk, you can usually get 2/3 bites to kill them easily before they bunny hop or spin around. Also, you can easily jump over/past sentries and kill their power boxes

alien commander is too distant right now imo, either make it really close and involved or remove it entirely
Err is it even possible to have the player count this high?

It probably is, but it means an instant win for the marines.

It clearly is.
However it's definitely not balanced for it.
I [I]love[/I] the soundtrack in this game. Seriously

I always get really nice guys like this when I'm playing marine commander
Last night I had such an amazing game. It started out as a normal match, but as a marine commander we lost ground pretty quickly, until we were standed at our base in Command on Veil.
I came up with the plan of barricading our base entrances with robotic factories and hell broke loose. We held our ground valliantly but eventually we fell.
It was glorious.

We actually fended off a total of 6 onoses in one wave. I can't belive we didn't loose there!

.. but eventually our defenses crumbled and we fell to the kharaa meance.
Well,

Never seen this work before.
Joined some game in late state.
Noticed that aliens have total map control...
They won after looong struggle (I was mostly the only one getting kills, rest of my team were rookies).
Then, alien comm decided to rush us with cysts and shifts (I was deep in the map then, trying to snipe some upgrades to help with smth)...
I died, spawned back, noticed hundreds of eggs... Tried to fight off, but enemies keep poping out of the eggs... That was funny and pretty epic.
I like the games after release... they are pretty funny, totally different than what they were during the beta.
Just bought this. Holy crap it is demanding. I am lucky if i pump out 15 frames at minimum.
I prefer the menu music from the first natural selection over the one in this.
The one here is more fitting though, sets the mood
anyone played on that 120 man server? or is it fake?
Anyone happen to have a fix for the pre-caching crash?
I'm stuck waiting for an update to fix it, I can't join any servers without crashing.

PC.

It all depends on the server host.

Tried that already, didn't work but thanks anyway.
Really hope they will improve the performance further. It is unplayable for me once several buildings start to get placed. I don't see how i can max out Battlefield 3 and Crysis 2, but run this so terribly even on lowest settings.
