Natural Selection 2

My load times are long but not that long, on a old mechanical hdd. About 40 seconds to a minute.

My shaders optimize each time aswell.

I think precaching is supposed to happen every time, every game has precaching they just don't tell you about it.
 
They fixed the loading time this patch.

Once you load a map once every time after that it should be done in like 10 seconds, it is for me and I just use a normal HDD, texture streaming helps a TON as well
 
just picked this game up and have to say... it's freaking awesome. I feel pretty bad about not having a headset atm cause u really need it, even on pubs everyones talking :)

Have pretty much got to grips with marines but still terrible as an alien, i think you need to know the maps well to get the most out of their mobilility. I spend like 5 seconds spinning with my map up trying to find myself

Don't know how the cloaking works either, i seem to be able to cloak when i'm in base and there's one of those cloaking upgrades nearby, but i see teammates cloaking up far out of base... how does that work? I sit still and nothing happens

Just a pity the framerate drops towards the endgame when the flamethrowers and exo guys get going

Yea, I ain't played in ages cause of the FPS problems, it's annoying. Textures on 'high' only lasts so long :p

Press B for upgrades. You get 3 slots and there's 3 pairs to choose from depending on which your commander makes available. Cloaking is at the bottom (the icon is really dark even when it's available). Walk for a bit (Shift) or stand still and you'll go invis.

The comm can drop structures that give you similar bonuses in an area around them.
 
No point to be honest lol. There's never anyone on it. Its just a generically named gaming deluxe server - must get round to changing that at some point!
 
Now on steam sale, a smidge over £7, no excuses!

Oh and for the ns2 regs here
