I'm currently in ArmoryChamber.net #2 (or something like that)
[editline]18th June 2011[/editline]
Connection problems detected...
:smith:
I've never had a problem with finding a decent server, but I also work during the day. Probably the hardest time to find a game.
How do I get added to the Facepunch NS2 list on the OP
Just PM Whiplash
the australian pure server is great, I got 50 ping on it.
Just finished a very long match, 9v9 - the admin had to end it because of the stalemate at marine start.
[QUOTE=turtlehead;30536726]I bought it just a few minutes ago and now I'm installing it on steam, can't wait to see if it was worth it (though I have little doubt about that). :keke:[/QUOTE]
Remember that its in early beta though and pretty buggy.

For the people who are on the fence bout getting this game I would say play ns1 since its a free mod for half-life and if you like it you will like 2.
Ah ha! A running thread of this game.
I've been messing around with the editor a lot, and I've decided that I am going to make a complete level.
Have an old screenshot of the alien start. (Click it.)

So far, I have around 60% of the map layout complete, and when I finish, I am going to try a playtest with some people while it is still raw, so I can fix any corridors that seem to big or small or wide or short. Then when that is done, I'll be able to make the other rooms look like that screenshot (which is still old mind you, I did some more work on it and it looks much better than that.)

Not to mention the good chance you will get on youtube. :L
Wow, being on youtube.
What a lifetime achievement!

Looking great :D

I'm thinking about trying to map some, but whenever I map for anything (even Starcraft lol) the maps become really unbalanced or too small/big

I was on youtube because I played on a ns2hd server and now ladies are just lining up to date me.

Don't piss all over my small ambitions please :(
[quote]Onos is a huge mammoth-like creature, which will be the devastating endgame class that is able to break down doors and cause total havoc.[/quote]
so that giant pod commander for the aliens a cocoon for the onos then
would make sense
what the hell did you say
that post makes 0 sense
i loved the Onos, rampaging around the map and eating up marines
or getting eaten by an Onos and hoping your team can kill it before it digests you :v:

alien plays commando
stays in pod until marines lose
becomes onos
kills everything

Have you played NS1 before?
It doesn't make sense at all.
Been thinking about making a FP NS2 steam group. It would be a pretty handy way to get together and plan games.
All in favor, say aye!

[QUOTE=FlameCow;30561812]I've been wanting to buy this for a while. Is it worth it?[/QUOTE]
It still needs plenty of work until 1.0, but I love playing it. Been playing it since the engine test.
Pre-ordering helps development, so if you do that it may come out sooner or at better quality.
Also been trying my hand at mapping for it. Never made a map before but it's really easy to put scenes together with the editor.

how about you play the games before you make really dumb posts
but then again you are xpod1 so i'll let it slide
Some Fade changes expected in next patch:
[quote]@NS2: Differentiating Fade from Skulk making him more of a "surgical striker" (swipe dmg increase, slower ROF, higher energy cost) #fb[/quote]
I hope they make the fade blink cost less energy then. Flamethrowers + turret spam = no fun allowed.
[QUOTE=GammaFive;30583098]I hope they make the fade blink cost less energy then. Flamethrowers + turret spam = no fun allowed.[/QUOTE]Just think of it like this:
Flamethrowers and turret spam are the moderaters to counter the Fade trolls :P
[QUOTE=GammaFive;30583098]I hope they make the fade blink cost less energy then. Flamethrowers + turret spam = no fun allowed.[/QUOTE]
Yeah god forbid something has a counter in a game.
Who wants op in the steam group for starting games?
[QUOTE=Kouji_San;30589048]Just think of it like this:

I'm pretty sure their counter was jetpacks and shotguns.
[QUOTE=GammaFive;30596463]I'm pretty sure their counter was jetpacks and shotguns.[/QUOTE]
Yes, they were in NS1. This is a new game.
[QUOTE=GammaFive;30583098]I hope they make the fade blink cost less energy then. Flamethrowers + turret spam = no fun allowed.[/QUOTE]
If you ask me, I think Blink is pretty balanced and the adrenaline consumption is pretty easy to manage if you use it in moderation.
In my experience, Fades are able to get out of any sticky situation if they do not waste all their adrenaline with blinking.
Also, the devs cannot buff up the Fade just because of occasional turret spam. If they did that, the class would become way too unbalanced.
Just bought this, but I get a black screen on start up. Any idea why?

Have you tried waiting for awhile? It could take a moment for the game to start up.
