The commander role seems to be fun from what little I have seen though. I think the game is awesome to watch from the top down perspective. | ||

IIRC it was the same with NS1, even with the exosuit around. Aliens were just too strong in pubs. Mind you, it didn't stop the game being tons of fun. And I play marines almost exclusively. You can get an idea for balance by servers with ns2stats enabled on http://ns2stats.org/all/index 57% marines vs 42% aliens currently. According to the devs from the twitch stream the stats are a bit closer in their data which encompasses all servers. So there is definitely seems to be some significant imbalance with a 57% / 42% split, but not so bad that the game is unplayable. | ||

This effect was even bigger in some cases. A fade on my CAL/ENSL team could win entire 12v12 pubs by himself, and if we stacked marines the outcome was a lot more 1 sided than team stacking in some other games. hopefully the skill curve remains.  | ||

He propably means that FE. a good fade whit blink can easily take out big number of marines overtime (speaking of tens here), and still does not risk to be killed. In competitive play its completely different thing, but in pubs this is completely usual. Like the original version of natural selection there were league called ENSL which included few players that completely dominated the scoreboards (Tane, Fana) and now when they switch to ns2 we expect them to do the same. We'll see though. | ||

@ animol: It's depending on your specific setup. Some Setups work better than others. I have an i5 quad core at 3,4 GHz, 8 GB DDR3 1800 RAM and GTX 260, and i have between 40 and 60 FPS. They are trying to improve performance for all systems, but if you want your specific setup to be looked into, post your problems in the help section of the official Forums. http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showforum=108 The finals of the Cup will be played later today, starting at 11:00 PDT | 2:00 EDT | 18:00 UTC | 20:00 CET. You can also see the VODs of yesterdays games on these channels. There were some really good games imo. http://www.twitch.tv/naturalselection2 http://www.twitch.tv/rwryne edit: Link to forums | ||
