Hi all
I have seen alot of NS2 vids and streams (youtube, twitch), and thought there is one type of videos that I don't seem to see much or any of. The commentaries on a pub game. ItsSuperEffective, Hugh, and others broadcast games, either playing as a marine or alien (grunt and Commander), but this will only give the perspective on one side. I would like a commentated game like RedDog does, but in a pub. I am not thinking of doing a strategic analysis (there aren't many in pubs), but more of a "typical thinking" behind decisions and have it as an introduction to new players (I know the sales are done and dusted, and number are settling down again). But with the NS2WC coming, it might be a nice way to let new players doing pubs know why the pub comm, and other pub players do what they do. eg. most marine games I comm, (8v8 or more), the first 20 seconds, 4 guys are in base building the ip and armory I drop (as a commentator, you can discourage newbies to NOT do that). I know it is probably in a Noobie guide, but something more visual would be nice.
What do you guys think? I would love to do something like that, but I don't think NS2 has a demo system to record games (or does it?). Also, I thought about taking a game recorded by ISE, and voice over that, but realised I need to spec or you will only get the perspective of one side only. Time and expertise would be an issue for me in this regard,
