Some people believe Movement chambers are better than Defense chambers at start, I always remember Defense Chambers being the best things to start off with, thats what was always said during the first versions of the game. Which comes to the point Why would movement chambers be helpful of you only had 1 hive? i mean, its mostly used for traveling to other hives rather than the one you start at, so how could it be helpfull at all? Am I the only one who recalls that DCs were always better than MCs? (sorry, i cant rememberif its Movement Chambers or movement towers, the names confuse me because I havent played in a long long time but I think you guys get the idea...)


The game has changed. With the introduction of non stackable regeneration for all alien lifeforms there's no need for DC's as a start chamber now, Movement Chambers are much more versatile. Plus starting/lower key liforms benefit better from Movement Chambers than Defence Chambers as the 1st chamber. A skulk is much more efficient with silence than Carapace or Regeneration.

And you pretty much answered your own question with the "i mean, its mostly used for traveling to other hives rather than the one you start at, so how could it be helpfull at all?" How are you going to get to a growing hive to defend it against attack with Defence Chambers? Run? It'll be dead before you get there. like I said, Movement Chambers > Defence Chambers as 1st chamber.

If that's true, then imo the ns team are dumb. It's like having a lottery ticket that's won $25 but you don't know it yet and some guy gives you $50 for it.


Not really shr3d. Unkown worlds want to make it as their own company that's the whole reason they are in excistance.

Valve are nice enough guys and working form them is quite nice so i hear. But working for them or being your own company are two dofferent things.

Besides i don't think valve ever tried to buy NS although they have a number of agreements about distributing and engine licences etc.
