i still don't really understand the whole "fade is OP"
with the new nerf they die so quickly especially to shotguns and they cost a ridiculous amount of resources (50 personal res is a lot...)

i don't know whether it was just lag or something but when i was playing today it felt like fades have a ton of hp. i would have thought just about a full magazine from the rifle would be able to take one down (along with a few other marines shooting at it)

Wow what the hell I posted and it didn't save my words for some reason. I meant to ask if they just took the main building power from the gorge and put it into this commander.
Don't you dare compare this to StarCraft, that's silly.
This is like Fisher-Price StarCraft compared to StarCraft.[/QUOTE]

Assault Rifles do not work so well against Fades as you might think, because when you have 3 marines circling around a Fade, more often than not, they're just shooting eachother.
Thank god there's no friendly fire.
[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;30478172]What was the glitch? I've seen a few so far.
Also, we need Bad Spelling back.[/QUOTE]
A bit late, but never too late.
Don't know what map it was but Marines was hiding behind
some sort of glass, "outside" the map, and they could just shoot
though the glass or walls, at our spawn hive.
God darn it there is no effecient way to deal with fades. You need to be like 3-4 marines with shotties/flamethrowers to take one down and then you'll still probably lose 2 soldiers, but that means you hneed half the team on one place to take down a fade, and before you know it there is another fade attacking your base on the other side of the map. It's just too hard, you cannot deal with fades and still be offensive.

The marines need something to take out fades effeciently.
So it's not made with Source? They made the engine themselves?
It looks really great.
Pre-ordered and the beta download is at 85%...
So damn excited :D
[QUOTE=MrJazzy;30492852]The marines need something to take out fades effeciently.[/QUOTE]
The most effective way to counter Fades is to not let Aliens research them at all.
Aliens need 2 hives in order to get Fades and that's why you need a good commander who can quickly spot the Alien expansions before they're complete.
Just played an awesome round on summit or whatever the map with the cliff is called, pushed like mad at the losing marine team but we just couldnt get the killing blow, I went lerk and took out their power from the other side of the room almost completely unnoticed and they pretty much instadied :D!
[editline]16th June 2011[/editline]
They lost mainly because their team was filled with ramboing idiots though
god damn I must have gone like 20-1 as a fade. the new blink (I don't know how long it's been there) is pretty cool
Played as Gorge, tried to kill poeple with Bile Bomb but it seemed like I either missed every shot or it did no damage..?
[editline]16th June 2011[/editline]
Also irony kinda fucked me over earlier, talked to a few about how awesome the new server optimizations were and the server crashed ~10 seconds after
I heard some people saying bile bomb didn't hurt players so I guess it's an anti building ability
Now I feel stupid :saddowns:
[editline]16th June 2011[/editline]
Oh man and the fade guy who I healed must have thought I was a massive dumbass too :(

Yup, and when they've got it. You're screwed.
Gotta wonder if people have so much problem with fade, how will it be when onos are implemented with their buff ability
[QUOTE=TurbisV2;30493615]Gotta wonder if people have so much problem with fade, how will it be when onos are implemented with their buff ability[/QUOTE]
By the time Onos is implemented, Marines will also have jetpacks, exo suits and dual miniguns! :wink:
I pretty much preordered this game the instant they confirmed it would be on Steam. I fell in love with it back when they posted the initial dynamic infestation video.
Having Fade troubles? Use the patented Alterra Flamethrower, issued to your outfit by Alterra distribution systems. It will completely drain his mana *ahem* energy!
[IMG]http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/wiki/images/thumb/a/a2/Flamethrower_head.png[/IMG]Alterra, because you know we care!
I had a big issue with Fades in my backyard and my best friend Eva suggested I try Alterra Distribution Systems Flamethrower.
Now I don't have anything to worry about, it even takes care of the lawn for me!
Flamethrower by Alterra Distribution Systems, it worked for me, it will work for You too!

If only flamers were that effective :v:
Perhaps they could put a limit so that aliens can only have 1 fade at a time or something?
The limit the game really needs is how many turrets you can place in a room.
[QUOTE=GammaFive;30494305]The limit the game really needs is how many turrets you can place in a room.[/QUOTE]
Nah man the limit needs to be how many steps you can take
Hey guys, I updated the OP again with some detailed info about each Alien class abilities and Whip upgrades.
Check it out. :smile:
Why the hell won't is post what I'm saying??
Lol it did it twice D:

Gorge can help by accelerating construction speed, but commander is the one who [i]builds[/i] everything.
If you want to know more about the classes, you should refer to the OP.
Just bought the game as well, it looks very promising.

Might want to add to this statement that the Gorge does build temporary patches of infestation and has the ability to build the Hydra's
Oh and he can take out buildings as of build 179 using his bilebomb. His support role is still intact to heal structures and friendlies :)
[QUOTE=MrJazzy;30494073]If only flamers were that effective :v:

They are that effective, thing is the fade is meant to be hit and run, so a good fade will run away at the sight of a flamer or as soon as he's on fire (run back to a craig or a hive and he will live and save himself 50 res).
I don't think they should care about balance right now, and there shouldn't be any class limits. If late game an entire team has enough res to go onos they're obviously playing better than the other team.
[editline]16th June 2011[/editline]
Also are they bringing dynamic infestation back?
Oh well, anyways, OP should make a list of facepunchers who play the game, and their ingame names.
