There wasn't a pre-load but i'm stuck downloading as well, kinda sucks.

Yeah, steam was like, "We're going to optimize your install!" Then it starts to download and I'm like really? I fixed the downloading problem by relaunching steam. The steam forum was actually useful for once.

That could be fun, a 1-person predator team. You get points for killing people with the highest KtD ratios.

Quick, someone make a mod for that!

I think it's critical to have lerk spores tailing marines on exo repair duty. That'll force the escort marines to retreat unless the cmdr drop medpacks like a mad man. Then you spore some more then rush retreating exo. Two or more? I think umbra might help but I've yet to see an alien cmdr get it and try it with the lerk.

Or what whiskas said and try to hit and run them down.

I finally got into an exo after having have to play aliens the majority the time. I don't like them at all or I'm playing them wrong. It looks like the gun tries to pull off "smart gun targeting", so does it auto track or does it shoot straight at the invis xfire in the center?

I just got this last night after reading the glowing "community is super friendly and fair" comments since I had been holding out on it a bit. So far my experience has been horrible; every single time I join a "rookie-friendly" server, all the non-rookies on the server stack onto one team, leaving 4 or 5 clueless idiots like myself being commanded by a haggard, frustrated non-rookie who is yelling for us to push while we die like lemmings. :( Every game ends in a one-sided base rush early on or, if they're too incompetent to do that, it ends with my team being pinned into a corner of the map while the enemy team techs up to invincibility and rolls us over with a mass of mechs or onoses.

Is my experience a terrible outlier or what? The game seems really cool but it's intensely frustrating to be newbie stomped all the time.

You're going to run into this 2/3 times if you go for any server with 18+ players.

Everyone on the other team always appears as a non-rookie (name in white).

Right but honestly name color doesnt mean anything. It just means someone turned off the option in the menu. I've seen plenty of white named players that play like rookies even with a "good score".
