Hey Ability, its RDSGoku. Had some VERY fun games recently - 3 wins in 4 games - with some good people - NiteShade, Geoffrey, Einstein, even gamed with you awhile back -. Just a few things I'd like to talk about:

1. HUGGERS
One thing I and others noticed last night is the excessive amount of Huggers when playing on Veteran. I mean, with a team - which we had - they can be dealt with easy enough, but just the number of them can sometimes get REALLY annoying; they can surprise you & totally screw up the flow of the game. Maybe consider taking out SOME of them? Easy Company is the worst -was playing Single Player solo, I think I ran into 10 & had to basically get hugged to know where they'd come from & reload to kill each one -.

• NOTE: I know going solo isn't the smartest, that was just an example of the number I ran into on a playthrough.

2. ALPHA STORYLINE
Playing Easy Company is 90min - did it 75 last night -, so with the Alpha storyline being quite short it's quite appealing for some quick XP. Just wondering how long the finished storyline will be (approx.). It takes me 40-50min solo on Single Player on -em to finish Alpha; would love to see some more optional missions added, as the main mission is perfect as is.

P.S What's with -em not being so "easy" anymore? Isn't that the point, to make it "easier?" This IS coming from some1 who plays solo Single Player a lot, but still, I'm having trouble completing easy storyline on -em when I never used to =)

3. BLACK MAP ON GAME STARTUP
Sometimes when I start a game my entire map is black - HUD/minimap/health bars are visible & sound is good -. Restarting Starcraft fixes this but it's REALLY annoying, especially when I'm the host. I've talked to some people who've said this is just a glitch and not my computer; shed any light on this?

I'll add more insight as I play more and become extremely familiar with everything in NOTD; thnx for your time & keep up the excellent work on your masterpiece.

Hi BorgDragon, thanks for the good words. NOTD and NOTD: SO are made by 2 teams. Each has a unique direction and design philosophy. Please give both a try. You can stay updated with NOTD by searching 'NOTD' on Facebook. The map is only 55% done and there's a lot of work to do.

This looks like my kinda game. I keep seeing videos and whatnot. Is this by the same people/person of NOTD:Spec Ops? What are the differences between the 2? Keep in mind, I haven't played NOTDSO either... but I really like what I see. I just have to get off my butt and try it out!

Just remember, no Face tanking (other than full defense speced assaults tanking certain bosses)

I love this game, It requires people to use strategy for most bosses, to stick together, and use teamwork, which is why most people are very bad at it.

Lookin' good

(I hate to have to say this but it's the truth, I can't wait to try it once blizzard fixes up the custom map scene)
