This weekend from the 21st - 24th there's a free weekend going on NS2, and 50% off the game during the phase.

Just in case anybody missed it and hasn't tried out/brought the game yet.

It's definitely worth the free try-out at least.

Get this if you haven't already to be honest, it's an indie game but it plays like a AAA title. It's hands down one of the best multiplayer shooters out there.

LOL NO
Marines just spray with their gun.... its not very interesting.
A good MP shooter would be BC2.

[Unkn0wn]

Yea because BC2 does something no other shooter has done before  .

You can't just spray with the gun in NS2, if you miss tooo many shots you're gonna be reloading before a Skulk dies, and in that event you're dead.

You really find that Aliens win more?

And you think it was 50/50 on release?

On release I won 90% of my matches as Aliens.

It's hard once Aleins have mass Onos, but Marines win the larger engagements easily. It's simply a matter of teams properly moving in groups and using the terraim of the map to their benefit. You never want to send marines into a winding turning part of the map

Actually no, the developer stats show an almost 50/50 win ratio since build 240...

They tweaked the skulk movement a bit and the higher performance in general really helps.

In competitive games marine win rates are even significantly higher than the alien ones, or at least they were for a while. Those numbers too are getting closer to 50/50 again.
