The game is on Humble Bundle at the moment.
How finished is the game now? Is there a developed competitive scene?
The win rate for aliens versus marine is acceptable now, there are still balance issues but you no longer have things like immortal fades and 4 min Onos. I don't recognize the game from what it was before I started up again. They changed so many mechanics and things that I had to relearn the game when I started playing again. The competitive scene is basically a few severs with people with a large amount of hours. Right now though the game is full of rookies who think the game is COD and get pissed when you try and ask them to help out. They even swarm the white servers and always stack marines with noobs.

I'm re-learning the game. Add me on steam if anyone wants to join. PsyonicReaver.

So how long has the skill/ranking been in? I dont even remember that.
Anyways its pretty easy to hit top 100 as in a few games my friend already got in it. I just command games and I am starting to relearn the openings for each race now, the map changes aren't too bad to get used to, I do like that they still rework the maps when they see problems for each race for different rooms.

competitive NS is nice to watch. Tho many things can happen at the same time and it maybe be difficult to follow from time to time, will definitely tune in.
The game is now really nice to play, a few serv (UK/NL) are really nice to play on with a great atmosphere and community with close, long yet fast (jp fairly early, or onos vs exo) games.
We could do a TL group for NS2, that would be great wouldn't it?!

Cool stuff! Is there a stream?
PS: i still have 2 steam keys available if someone is interested send me a pm

yup!
in the middle of the graphic =P twitch.tv/naturalselection2
the 'muricans and lone canadian are in the air now, this is gonna be so good. high level play is such a treat to watch. The caster/commentators are gonna be more geared towards casual viewers (more tasteless, less artosis) so even if you've never seen the game before it'll still be cool.

I haven't played this game now for many months. What's the scene like now? Is there still room for noobs to play, or will i get my ass handed to me by many pros?

There are plenty of rookie serv to play on,
the non rookie serv usually have a threshold (hours played, etc...)
doesn't mean you're not gotta get pub stomp on some rookie serv but overall, if you find a good Uk/NL/DE serv you can learn pretty fast on rookie serv and enjoy the game
otherwise, there is a UK serv "no rookie" but rookies are able to join, if you do what's asked by comm/teammates you're gonna learn quick and enjoy the game nicely, don't walk alone, no matter you're kharaa/marines.
Also there are a few big serv (30 slots) which usually is fun to play

Spectating this game seems to suffer from the same problem as CS GO. Action on multiple places at the same time, lasts a few seconds at most. Might be fun to play, but it doesn't seem all that much fun to watch.
