[QUOTE=loopoo;38355077]Dual exos are easy to take out if you're a group of Skulks, especially if the exos aren't backed up by Marines. So what are you talking about?[/QUOTE] because was in their hive, free kills from eggs. Seem to be alot of people who seemingly can't aim for shit in this game too. I watched friendly exo dance like an idiot with 1 skulk and after he killed it was around 25% hp when I managed to get in range to weld, I guess people are bad.
I've never had an issue removing a skulk from my ankles in an exo. I have a lot of fun with exos, changes the game completely when they enter.
[QUOTE=Jessey;38354651]There is one map where the marines usually spawn in a little building next to a landing platform, in the glass up on the marines roof is a hole where you can shoot through directly at the enemy power as Lerk. It is hilarious.[/QUOTE] That's known as a "lork on the clorf" situation. The appropriate course of action is to 'yell at the commando' and order him to build torrents and drop shirtguns.
The effects of the Onos is pretty great, rumbling of the screen, the sounds of the stomping and bits of dust falling down from the ceiling.
[QUOTE=hogofwar;38355535]The effects of the Onos is pretty great, rumbling of the screen, the sounds of the stomping and bits of dust falling down from the ceiling.[/QUOTE] Scariest thing is when one has evolved silence and is hidden by a shade while you're scouting a room. There is literally an elephant in the room waiting to murder you.
The game itself is great but the fact that I can't fucking join a server with more than two people in it makes me want to shake a baby.

Im pretty sure Onoses are meant to be like that
[QUOTE=Raidyr;38340637]Or the comm could have scanned. Or had an observatory in base. You know, the structure that is required for phase gates and protolabs, the lynchpin of marine mid-game? [sp]you played against a bad comm[/sp][/QUOTE] When you keep changing locations scanning isn't going to help that much, and when I say "base" i mean forward operations and not where their command centers are, I mean they had observatory's in their actual bases, but I was a fucking onos so it doesn't matter if I'm seen at that point.
Is this game worth it Y/N
Y
yeah but just beware of performance, some great machines have piss poor and some okay-ish machines run perfectly fine.
[QUOTE=Matrix374;38341540]I love using the Lerk. Flying and shooting spines at unsuspecting Marines is so much fun[/QUOTE] I love how they made the spikes the second ability, so you don't have to switch between them like in NS1 (same applies to Skulk bite/leap). I miss how you can shoot spores, but I suppose that's a good thing considering how OP it can be (and sometimes was in NS1).
i like the lerk, pretty fun, still rather useful once exos are out too

Now it's completely different, but it somehow feels more fitting, so all's good.
Bought the game, no one to play with tho (and I'm completely new to this)
[QUOTE=qwerty000;38356338]Bought the game, no one to play with tho (and I'm completely new to this)[/QUOTE] Give me till the weekend and I'll happily hop on Skype with you and we can have a few games together? I'm busy till the weekend though. So you can learn the ropes, and then hopefully this weekend we blitz the game together and have crazy bundles of fun.
[QUOTE=qwerty000;38356338]Bought the game, no one to play with tho (and I'm completely new to this)[/QUOTE] Just join a rookie game, and hope the commander talks.

[QUOTE=qwerty000;38356585]Well if you don't mind my really crappy accent[/QUOTE] Well if you don't mind my Biscuits and Tea accent. I'm sure we'll get on fine haha, what [I]is[/I] your accent? For sure it's gonna be sexy.
Seriously why is it so hard to actually be able to connect to any server? [editline]7th November 2012[/editline] And every fucking time I try it knocks out my connection until I restart the game

I've played with native english speakers tho, they said they could understand me :v: [editline]7th November 2012[/editline] Damn my game crashed while I was playing as marines for the first time(and wow playing as them gives me the Alien feel and it's great).
[QUOTE=Clio;38356914]is this game populated does this game have mod support[/QUOTE] Yes. Yes.
This is [I]so[/I] [B]FUCKING[/B] [B][I]ANNOYING[/I][/B] Why is it taking them so long to patch such a major problem? Apparently it's been like this for about a week now?

Are you sure it's not your pc's problem?
I believe in the next patch (or soon at least), the server connecting will be improved so it checks for spaces before you connect so you don't flash to the screen then kicked out, having to search again. That may stop it being so frustrating at least.
Aren't they doing weekly updates?
