No it means Yes, Ns is better then Cs.
NS has it's own goods, and CS has it's own goods.
there's no definite "better" or "worse" on this issue since you're comparing apple and orange here.
NS = Teamplay in and out...
but sleep now... nn all
I stil play Counter-Strike, if I need a quick 5 minute fix before class. But if I have a lot of free time and want to get into the game, I'll go to Natural Selection.
Trying to compare these two games, and saying one is better than the other is like asking is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is better than a BLT.
And I'd bet a lot of people would have a personal opinion as to whether a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is better than a BLT or not. It's a legitimate question if you ask me.
I find ns to be a slower paced, more technical game, while CS is faster paced more action directed, ns takes a lot of time to master and a lot more teamwork then cs does. NS is a game for people who have the time and patience to really enjoy it but anyone can pick up cs and start pubbing.
If i had to say tho, I would go with cs, only because its been around longer and the bugs of the game have been worked out and I know what im doing <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> , of course assuming that the cheats arent in the server.
ohhh man i hope the cheats dont go to ns.... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
If the creators of the mod were dragged out into an airlock and ejected into the cold balck void of space, I would gather their little frozen chunks and personally deliver them into the center of a black hole.

Silly Awnser: Ns is better than CS for the same reason that you cant look at the sun with a telescope.
I've played FvF, TF (Quake 1), WF, Gloom, SH, SH2, FQ:ROTF, and hosts of others (VS, AQ, S&I, BoTS, etc, etc .. heck even TotalQuake), but no CS.
Just humans with guns = the bore. Except in my Duke 3D days. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
Ok. Since everyone seems to be bringing that up, how about we modify supernorn's question a bit:
"Which do you like better? CS or NS?"
Anything is better than Counterstrike. It's boring, unoriginal, requires no skill, is full of lamers and cheaters. What really bugs me is that at least hlaf the people who play CS would probably look at you quizically if you told them that CS is actually a MOD of Half-Life, and that there are hundreds of other free games you can download.
I despise any game which does not demand skill to play. Kharaa demands skill, CS doesn't. End of story. NS wins by a LONG shot <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
at the moment i would have to say i enjoy ns much more but i have thousands of hours of gameplay in cs
the big question is will ns pass the test of time
I think cs and ns serve different skill and pleasure playing. Only reason cs got worse was mainly the people... people are jack **obscenity** and you have to except that every time you go into a CS server you will get yelled at, called a newb, and racist remarks might come your way. Now it will happend to all games as the competition rises but that doesnt mean you have to. Many CS players have come to NS basing your life and skill on your score which i dont agree with unless you see some one who has 1 and 50 deaths... i mean god thats gotta worry you?! Yes, many of the ideas here will change and screw up the game like CS with this jump and you slow down crap... although you learn to live with these changes and start to like them and dont want them to be changed anymore. For example, when rock'n roll was all that now its punk and rap... we just learn to live with such times and doesnt mean you cant stop liking the old things either... I'm listening to Led Zeppelin right now =)
