Played the game for a hour mabey.
WOW, it's really starting to look good.

OP has been updated with the B179 change log.
Some highlights:
* Server optimizations - Server should use less CPU with more players, resulting in a smoother experience. We're still improving this, but you should see a noticeable improvement.
* Shotgun cost reduced from 25 to 15
* Reduced Fade armor from 100 to 50 (translates to 20% less total "health")
YES!
Just bought the game! :buddy:
The game just updated for me, let's see if there are any servers updated
This game got a whole lot less laggy.
Game just patched, enjoy 179!

Wait, it's available on steam?
[QUOTE=Overworld;30480956]Wait, it's available on steam?[/QUOTE]
Kind of. You buy it off their site and it is distributed via steam, but it's not on the steam store (yet)
The gameplay looks similar to AVP.
[QUOTE=Jetblack357;30481421]The gameplay looks similar to AVP.[/QUOTE]
except natural selection wrote the book.
Just played the game, Fades everywhere and even one fade got to join the marines and spawned at their spawn.
It's impossible for me to kill fades because they Teleport everywhere and every weapon I use seems like it doesn't even affect them
If you have couple of marines armed with sg's and flamers, they go down pretty fast.
I played the new build for couple of hours and it's just amazing. All around smoother gameplay.
Just had a kickass game as aliens. Got a 5 kill streak when there still weren't many players as a skulk. Held off entire areas solo as a Gorge later. And later I kicked ass later in the game as a Fade.
I'm actually scared to go Marines now. But yeah Flamerthrower is defiantly the counter to Fade right now
[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;30470472]He builds shit and guides the team. Just like any RTS.

So basically it took most of the building power from the gorge and put it into a commander? The gorge is supposed to move it and build spike turrets only now?
Don't you dare compare this to StarCraft, that's silly.
This is like Fisher-Price StarCraft compared to StarCraft.[/QUOTE]
So far my favorite weapon is the flamethrower, it's so fucking good. It destroys the infestation (I'd like to call it 'creep' - reminds me of Zerg in StarCraft) and can kill off any melee alien class easy. Especially Fade.
[editline]15th June 2011[/editline]
Oh yeah, me and a few friends (5) all got flamethrowers and two Fades came for us, I was surprised when we only lost two men when we killed them off. Fades are very dangerous, but teamwork can kill any beast!
So far the game is to buggy to really be fun for me but since I know how fun the first natural selection was im happy I bought this and cant wait for the game to finally be released.

And knowing players with the flamethrower you guys probably hurt yourselves. I hate how marines see a fade and they just hold M1 and move and look around randomly, and yet it's super effective :|
[editline]15th June 2011[/editline]
But being Fade is so awesome. Tip: jump just before blinking, and always blink slightly upwards. Otherwise chances are you could get stuck on something small
Also the flying thing is great for sniping turrets
[QUOTE=Kryzech;30474672]I remember the first alpha.. Oh dear :D
Firing a gun resulted in ENDLESS background echo :psyduck:[/QUOTE]
That was if you even got as far as to fire a gun :v:

One tip is to look at what way the Fade is facing when he blinks away because usually they end up in the general direction they're facing, so you can kinda guess where he will end up if you think fast enough.

The Lerk? My favorite alien, especially in NS1 :D
[editline]16th June 2011[/editline]
I mostly like being Lerk because he's so goddamn annoying to a lot of people
Holy shit, I just played my first 179 game. 10 v 10, some stuttering (network lag) but not unplayable. LOVE the arc. I'm also really glad that bile bomb is back :D
I always like support characters so the Lerk is my favorite, annoying the shit out of players I see with shotguns and flamethrowers, since I know they can't kill me.
Hngg wanna play but I gotta go soon, I'll just have to wait until I get home.
Probably no EU player on now anyway

Actually, we are very conservative with our ammo and try to be as accurate as possible. Me and my friends have been playing games for years now, we aren't a kiddy-shit bunch. We know how to teamplay.

I can't wait for the day when everyone on the planet can play with eachother in 100+ person battles, each with less than 30 ping.

Don't underestimate the handgun!
[editline]16th June 2011[/editline]
A lot of marines underestimate it but it's a seriously good anti-lerk weapon

It is a very good anti-Lerk weapon, but as you said many (most) marines underestimate it and NEVER use it.
Oh - speaking of my friends, we all played as Lerk and took out a team of flamethrowers that tried to copy us from last game :v:
[editline]16th June 2011[/editline]
Not one used the handgun.
I use the pistol a lot. Especially the alt fire.
Marines, USE YOUR DAMN PISTOL.
just played this for the first time since last year and it's a lot cooler when you can shoot things and not lag
when i played it for the first time since last year it was a lot cooler when you could actually start the game at all
