Nightly I am amazed at the personalities and gaming talent.

Re: ns_machina_v2s
agreed. now if the same thing had happened with prometheus we would have got 2 quality maps out of 3.2, but alas no, we're stuck with the most fade/marine/onos/lerk unfriendly map there is and the badass map that is machina.

Re: ns_machina_v2s
We'll see how the aliens do with increased game-play. Right now (on TG at least) without very good alien pressure the marines have the map.
I still think it's one of the most beautiful and exciting maps to play. You should feel very proud merkaba.Former TGNS admin until WoW blinded me with flashy lights.

Re: ns_machina_v2s
With the lerk fix, I think this may balance the map a bit more. Just expect 2+ lerks every game
.
Now that I think of it, this map usually does have epic games. Compared to most maps that are 15-22 minutes long for the average game, this is a welcome change. It is harder to track marine/alien progress on this map which means that keeping an eye on making sure neither teams gets too large of an advantage mid-game means that the end game is sure gonna rock.
My opinions of this map have changed significantly. I dig it now like I did before, but for better reasons. Thanks a lot, merkaba!
Definately an 8v8 maybe even 9v9 or 10v10 is perfectly doable and balanced.

Re: ns_machina_v2s
Not sure if this has been mentioned somewhere, but it's currently not possible to med marines in the central area of the middle hive. The medpacks drop and get stuck in mid-air somewhere above them, still costing the res and causing immense frustration as you watch your helpless marines die and lose the hive. Since the middle hive is a fairly important location, I'd consider this a fairly serious flaw with the map. I'm fine with some hives being more alien-friendly, and even with rooms that you can't med in because of water. But it shouldn't try to sucker you in by making it look like you can med and then mugging you and stealing your hard-earned res.

merk gets a cut of TSA medpack production profits.

Re: ns_machina_v2s
The problem you speak of Ag is that little vent shelf in maus hive that allows medding. It is kind of screwy how you can see to the floor though but can't med on the floor itself.

It's so you can drop chambers on those beams up there. I do it often.
