How ironic.
Yeah, great mod. Only thing that bugs me is that I only seem to find UK servers. Not only are the "mates" on my team hard to understand, my ping takes a small toll too.
I really like the graphics. Amazing what the half life engine can do.

I'm sorry, but I love the idea.. It is just it isn't balanced enough yet.

I think there are like 25-50 for each type.
But still you are right. THe more random the maps the better.
NS can't be played like that though.. First of all no one would know where anything is to defend ect. Except maybe aliens, but then again.. You don't know the directions to that place.
I just don't understand how when I shoot an alien it takes 10 bullets to kill, and when a marine shoots me it takes 1-4. And when I'm an alien it taked 4-5 bites to kill a marine, but they seem to do it in 1.
They said there is no difference in damage in hit boxes on the site.
Of course this could be because I was lagging badly.. I can't seem to find a NS server where I ping under 100.

connection bug?
theres a connection bug in cs... i doubt u ever ran into it... cause u can probably connect to a game.. but if u fail.. connecting.. for some reason.. then you can't connect to any server unless u go back to the begining screen... which on my computer is a hassle.. since i lag... like a mofo.. i can own.. in cs if im playing at a friends house.. or something.. but when i get home.. its just sad :P but its kinda boring... ill stick too aoe2/ultima/mugen too kill time

I noticed that myself, and I at first attributed it to other people's skill levels. I later realized this was wrong and remembered the stuff I was reading about how the HL netcode, etc. works. Not every shot is sent to all clients to conserve the amount of data sent. It doesn't make sense to send 11 packets per second to each client when a person is just firing, not to mention all the other packets for other game data. They actually do fire a lot more than you get the impression from the HL engine that they do.

oz, go try to bite someone at the beginning of a game, and make the bites to the back/chest or some other major body part. the difference in damage and malarkey is because of upgrades, if marines have lvl 2 weapons, aliens are forked unless u have carapace. if aliens have cara and marines have lvl 1 armor and lvl 1 guns, they are goin to get owned. thats the point, it makes the team work together to try to defend your defense towers for alien or defend your infantry portals for marines. the upgrades and advancements win, unless you are talented. even if you have like lvl 3 carapace vs lvl 3 weapons and lvl 3 armor, you can still own them all, just make your shots count.

And I know what your talking about ken..
Post by: eViL on April 25, 2003 10:35 pm CDT
if u have no aim (like crash) with skulk, don't go alien until you learn, the skulk is the best alien to be unless you can get fade or onos. so master skulk skills, use parasite, helps you keep track of when marines move. ambush them from a vent and just take them out as they try to relocate. and never let them take 2 hives, stop them from moving past the first relocation.

I fire over 20 bullets into the skulls and they don't die! And that is the truth!

Whats carapace?
Post by: Darwin on April 25, 2003 11:17 pm CDT
I believe you upgrade/evolve the carapace in game.
Post by: UnderGod on April 25, 2003 11:22 pm CDT
But I am talking about the beginning of the game.. no one has anything like that within the first 5 minutes.
Post by: eViL on April 26, 2003 12:17 am CDT
took me and [evil] One 2 minutes to get 3 d chambers up and every person on our team had lvl 3 carapace in 3 minutes.

I played The Battle Grounds HL mod. It was funny. Its about the revolutionary war battles. I join a server, and nobody is doing anything. They are just running around spawning zombies and killing them.
I run around and kill a few british, and get kicked.
