<div class="IPBDescription">Will NS 1 be released on Steam?</div>Greetings
Since a lot of community made mods like Zombie Panic! Source and D.i.p.r.i.p. have made it to Steam lately, I wondered if there was any chance for NS 1 to be distributed over Steam too.
Of all mods, Natural Selection would really deserve it most.
It would be good for NS 2 aswell. The more people know NS, the more people will buy NS 2. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />
Now, with the newest HL1 update (which also broke NS for now, yes..)
Valve added <b>Steamworks</b> features to HL1 too.

So, would there be any chance for the NS developers to talk to valve regarding a NS release on Steam?
I'm certain that they already know about NS and I can imagine that they wouldn't say no.
Another question ->
From the update changelog:
<i>The update includes Steamworks features such as player avatars in the scoreboard</i>
Does that mean, that if NS was updated by the devs, we could have avatars in the scoreboard in NS? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skulk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::skulk::" border="0" alt="skulk.gif" />

If ns2 gets distributed over steam they have to pay for that.
About ns1 well it would be cool thought, but valve said "only active" mods and ns-dev-team said 3.2 should be the last one.
Well now theres a chance that ns3.3 could come <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
Developement is not fully halted too, seeing that we will get a patch for the recent problem soon.
And I mean, look at the mods that have been released over steam lately. Some of them are nice, but compared to NS, they just suck imo. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />
I'd love to hear a Dev about this topic (NS1 @ Steam) though. Flayra? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

Both Flayra and Max have posted their thoughts.
Like wodka's last post, it would be cool to know if there are any news about this though. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
all that is left to play Classic NS are only G4B2S and <BAD> server

It actually sounded very promising what the devs wrote here ->

Just a question of time I guess.
Status updates would be nice however. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />
Could the devs maybe ask Valve again, to remind them of the matter?
I'd really like to see NS1 on Steam.
