Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
If we could make that 10 and 2 it would be the ideal amount to have for inter-gaf scrimmages
Sounds like a plan!

I'd be happy to Khaarm, and I'm sure I could brush up on the marine comm if we got the numbers.

I'm down for either, to be honest. I've been getting some time in on both sides, but I think I might like the structure building process of the marines a little more.
Btw, if any gaffers want to play tonight, I'm up for it.

I just caved and picked this up tonight. I ended up having a game go back and forth for an hour. Was absolutely awesome. I sure hope th community stays strong, I could see myself playing this for awhile.

I'm good to comm for either side. The only thing I'm lacking is drifter micro (scouting mostly) and I always forget to robo tech so I can build while there is a push happening.
Anyway, invite me to the group so I can get a few games in with GAF!

ack, just had my first game where teammates constantly called each other names and told everyone they sucked and whatnot. This was in a game where the other team had 1-2 resource nodes the whole game, so we were never losing.
After telling people to stop calling each other faggot I got told such choice lines as:
welcome to the internet
I'm old enough to use this word and anything else
they called me son
20 seconds later the admin came on and told them to stfu.

Just keep playing as them, once you get used to to how they work all you'll want to play is a Fade with blink. I see way too many people stack the marine team when there's a whole other side of the game to master.

Where did you see a post about a particle optimization patch? Cannot seem to find any info...
Let me check the Dev Stalker
There's plenty of Australian servers and players at the moment, and if this is like NS1 they'll stick around for years.

Great - that's kind of what I expected. Alright, I'm in for $25 tonight. This will be my palette cleanser in between XCOM missions - that game and those aliens are busting my balls so NS2 will be a chance to retort personally!

I have been seeing a lot of this lately. The community was fantastic at launch but is starting to degenerate to some degree. I have been running into a lot of the "pro gamer" types that bitch and complain about everything and take the game way too seriously.

I try and stick to a regular grouping of servers. This usually will not occur then

Just played my first full game as a commander and we actually won. Got some help from my friend who has some experience with commanding, so it probably went a lot better than it should have. It was really fun though. Got a little hectic when everyone wanted health, ammo and orders all over the map. So now I know why the commander don't always give me the stuff I need sometimes.

I have little experience with it myself, but been assisting a few via chat when few players had com.Just played my first full game as a commander and we actually won.
What's most important for a player, is that you don't scream back to him about needing ammo etc. It just throws people off commanding. Just ask polite and relaxed each time and it will be much better.

Well guys, I am an idiot. I missed my flight to london so I will be home this weekend. Anyone wanna catch a game and watch the tournament live? I am up for it
Why is the performance so terrible on this game?
It has improved leaps and bounds since beta, but yeah it's the driving force for me to finally upgrade my CPU. Having 60fps is a real benefit for this game.

I am not certain if anyone else has been following this but the game has been getting really rave reviews from almost every place that reviews it. Except for one: Gamespot. It got a 6/10.
Normally this would not be anything to take not of but the review itself is kind of written as if the person only played the game for about 20 minutes and is inlaid with a lot of strange criticism.
Anyways, since the review has been posted and there was incredibly negative feedback toward it via user comments (300 or so gamespot users questioning the content of the review), the score appears to have been taken down.
At least I think it has been taken down. The score is missing from this link
You can see the old score by performing a search and looking on metacritic, but the review no longer has a score associated with it anymore. No one from UWE contacted gamespot to prompt this according to official word.
Anyone up for a game tonight EU?

For some alien classes your view is through the mouth so you can get feedback from attacks. Marines side is pretty much standard FPS view for everything except mechs and commander. Unless you're talking about the FoV, which can be adjusted in-game.

There are a number of game mechanic and balance reasons for the view being inside the alien mouth for some classes. Marines get muzzle flashes when shooting which are disorienting, aliens get their view partially obscured while biting. Aliens need to see when their bite connects other wise it is hard to time attacks, also it visually connects the player with their role more so.
A little strange at first if you are new to the series and do not know much about it. But believe me... it is in there for a pretty darn good reason. I recommend you try it out!
Really expected much better sales numbers than that. 150k is not great considering how well its reviewing, and the Natural Selection name has some pedigree to it. I think all the bad press/word of mouth around the beta (alpha) might of actually had some effect. I see a lot of people saying "is it fixed since the beta was so buggy?". I would of imagined that maybe almost 20k or so of those are all preorders from a long time ago too.
Shame really, this is still one of the most interesting shooters out there and its still pretty much the same as NS1. I hope 150k is good enough for the guys to keep working on this. Would love new maps, especially combat maps!

I talked to charlie at PAX and they also recently have been talking about this, but the game's sales are actually really good for their costs. They will and shall be supporting the game for a long while. Being number 1 on steam for almost an entire week is a big deal. I am pretty sure that they are set for a while just from that.
Thats great news. If its good enough to keep these guys afloat then I'm very happy for em.
One of the best produced indy games in a while tbh and they deserve it.

Considering how the engine is custom, I'd say it's fucking amazing. Despite the fact that it requires a bit of processing power, it's one of the most impressive indie titles I've seen in terms of overall technical look.

You have to consider the context. Multiplayer only indie games usually crater and crater hard. All things considered, they're doing phenomenally well.

Watched some of this earlier. I really liked the Armory blockade strategy against Onos.
I don't know if it's supported, but you won't be effective in combat. You'll need twitch aiming and precision to take enemies down unless you play a support role, and even then it'll be difficult.

Playing with a controller would be terrible.
In this game, you have to do 180's without any effort. An analog stick just means you'll never hit anything that gets remotely close to you.

The VODs should be available on that twitch stream that I linked.

I cannot stop playing this game. I have tons of other stuff to get to including Forza Horizon and AC3 and I haven't touched them in days.
Don't know how I missed them!
Really enjoyed watching those games and it was good to see Archaea actually drop a couple of maps, they're not completely invincible!
Hoping I actually get to play some this weekend rather then just spectating (as much as I love to watch competitive matches), just been so busy this week.
