If you make the game less aesthetically appealing, seeing things on the map becomes much easier. I use the following settings:

-Texture Quality = Low
-Particle Quality = High
-Shadows = Off (some people leave this on)
-Light Quality = Low
-Anti-Aliasing = Off
-Bloom = Off
-Atmospherics = Off
-Anisotrophic Filtering = On
-Reflections = Off
-Infestation = Minimal

The game wont look as cool, but you will see things much better and probably have a nicer frame rate. There are also some NS2+ options that you can mess around with but I'm not gonna go into those right now.

Tbh, I think its dumb that people use custom skins because it makes it easier to call out targets: "Shoot the Dark Fade" or "Focus the White Onos."

I want a snails sticker on my SG.

I can't take you seriously, never seen you before and this seems all like a planned joke. After reading your reddit thread I find it even more humourous, it's almost like all of your replies are copy-paste no matter the argument.

You probably play the game with maxed out settings for the most -immersive- experience & then complain about not being able to see. You're saying this game is pay2win when you've mentioned nothing but the shadow Skulk, is that because you realize the others offer no advantage or should we expect more threads that cover the other skins?
Now you try to bring this into the competitive scene & ranting about fair play, should we force everyone on the same ping & computer setup aswell?

You're right, I see no difference even if that would be a shadow skulk.
I'm also colorblind.

Why wouldn't I jab that the weakest link, and also try to avoid personal jabs?

Maybe I didn't make myself clear in the other thread, but I do not use the settings as BlackSkulk.jpg.

Compare your picture MeJdCRf.jpg to BlackSkulk.jpg instead.

Perhaps, my point doesn't hold water in a modded sub community where every edge is acceptable........ Yet, is it fair to everyone?

I do understand not having the access to a black skulk and default skulk to compare on the same graphic settings,..

I understand people trying to say that I have graphic setting that aren't competitive. I bet, however, that with your setting I will still call it as camouflage. .....edit: but I'm sure I'll complain about where you put the alien and did your two shots... I think all of this is just avoiding my intended argument that skin choice gives a set selection of camouflage choices.

Another edge that is acceptable here but is based on the purchasing of skins by the rich who can pay and pay more unlike some who meet their price and happy to be among peers.

You'd think being color blind would give you a harder time with seeing moving skulks than stationary.

Calling out my color blindness is being cheep if you already agree there's an advantage or disadvantage.

The wall texture and the color of skin will match somewhere and the difficulty to see one skin verses another will be possible.

I cannot complain about the female skin, because everyone is given such for free.

I have 2,800 hours of public play, Let me admit that my settings and maps could be vastly different than the games you play here: I know the image above shows a much different backdrop than I expected to be challenged with.

Perhaps with such differences, skin are truly negligible, and I should be kicking myself for trying to get you all to change your mind on skins.

Yet, in the heart of Family, Class, and Fun, could you consider cutting out the showboating of skins and badges. They are only for those who can afford to dish out more and more cash. Which would be fine by me in a F2P game where people who bought the game knew what to expect. Did I say buy? I meant 'download' the game.

Thanks for your time.

I don't think there's anything wrong with having skins you think look cool and to use them when they provide little to no benefit/disadvantage.

I think they are nice extras UWE threw in to those who support the game.

I'm under the impression that you cannot view your own skin (being FPS).

Is it for Show off? Respect? Hubris?

If we were to allow everyone to such instead of the rich, then I'll agree that it's cool. However, those who think like me (I must be unique), will disagree and think your skin is lame.

How many times are they going to sell NS2? I know I don't want a marketplace inside NS2, because I know I can't keep up with the economy of Europe.

REINFORCEMENT:
"$260,000 from approximately 4,900 people" $53.06 on average...

Twice the price of the game... So, yeah... I know why my opinion doesn't matter.
