I'm having a decent time farting around in this, but I loving hate when games separate the playable classes behind stuff like what they do here. Want to be Bucket? Have fun unlocking him! want to be the final assault class? Enjoy getting there!

The game is fun so I don't mind, it's just annoying not being able to play the class you want at start.

Play evac with solo, stomping on bots makes it really easy

if you want a laugh, try playing as Lazarus in an AI single player Hunt, I think it might be impossible for bots to win without constant healbeams or grenades. idk what it is but the CPU monster is loving strong as hell and I haven't won a single match as Laz against the AI with bots. not sure if its just bad luck tracking or bad decisions by bots

Round restarts votes are a thing? That's dumb.

The monster player only gets one vote for what map to do in Evacuation and that also seems dumb to me. Every vote goes 4v1 if there is a disagreement.

I can't find any keybinding for calling some kind of vote anywhere.

The game will restart if it decides the match ended due to technical issues. If the monster gets frozen/disconnected and the hunters kill it while it's running in place then it ends the round, everyone gets xp like normal but it rolls back to the same part of the campaign (you get to keep the xp though). Maybe some amount of hunters disconnecting does the same thing?

The bots are terrible at getting out of the way of things that'll murder them. A Hank bot will be more on point with the shield than people, but he'll take a Goliath elbow-drop straight to the face.

imo Dying Light is probably the best zombie game ever. Great graphics, good parkour controls and movement, combat is solid and varied to a degree, and co-op is awesome. If you liked Dead Island you will like DL better. Only bad thing is story so if you mainly buy games for their story you may as well go with Evolve because not having one is better than a dumb story.

I'm still super on the fence about this game because of the lack of variety according to some people.

Basically, seems like turtle rock took the best part of vrs l4d and distilled it. All of the monsters play like some variation of the tank, and the players have active skills to manage as opposed to resources.

Any damage at all will interrupt a pounce, just hit it with your sniper, not your tranq gun.

I plonked it a bunch of times with the sniper rifle and nothing happened. I was under the impression that the sniper rifle didn't do any damage at all, and only set up the weak points.

I joined an evacuation series 3 games in. Hunters had won the first two, I managed to win the next 2 as the monster only to get D/C'd going in to the final mission. So annoying. There needs to be a reconnect option like Dota has.

Kind of, except you spend the first 5 minutes running/eating or searching for the monster. Personally i hate playing the monster, but inly because the movement sucks compared to natural selection.

Playing with pubbies sucks as a hunter but rules as the monster. Pubs arent as bad as l4d2 pubs, but there are some real retards. If you want to have fun i suggest playing hunters with at least one other person who has a brain and can communicate. If you want to play alone play the monster.

What's better about movement in NS2?

I personally really like leaping and climbing as the Hulk/Goliath in third person.

Is NS2 movement like AVP Alien movement?

The game is pretty fun.

The matchmaking seems to suck poo poo though. The last hour and a half I haven't gotten to be my preferred choice and every game it's put me in was an in progress game. Wish there was an option to tell it to only put you in starting lobbies.

Yeah, I've had some weird experiences with MM too. It dropped me in mid-game in my least preferred roll, with a character that I haven't unlocked yet. All damage/progress I made didn't count towards that character's progression either as I didn't have the character unlocked yet.

I wonder what happens in the future when there's DLC characters in that situation. Can someone that doesn't own it get placed into that game and forced to play that character anyway?
