The response from the community was very, very enthusiastic. The result of the thread was the European Natural Selection League has set up an NS2 gather system on their website.

You don't need to be European, there are US servers active as well!
Swalk has also set up a Steam group called 'Match Box.' Join up to receive notifications of impending 6 v 6's that you can join.
If you are interested in playing focused, intense 6 v 6's, both these tools are for you!

I'm a nub to the gather system. It seems simple enough, but one aspect i don't understand is using TeamSpeak. Is this for voice communication? What's wrong with the ingame voice chat system? Just wondering, any help would be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteYour ensl link is missing /gathers/ from the url.
ReplyDeleteCorrect Matt, it's for voice communication. This way you can talk w/o being in the game. I wish they'd use Mumble instead as it's much better than TeamSpeak.
ReplyDeleteWe did use Mumble ages ago but it had usability problems. Teamspeak 3 works fine, it may not have the cutting edge low latency but its easy to install, customizable and works.
ReplyDeleteAs said above one of the URL's is not the right one: "NS2 gather system".
ReplyDeleteMy bad, gave you the wrong link, here is the right one:
