Ns Mod For Hl2

HerrDrLecter

<div class="IPBDescription">Community Reaction</div> Everyone who reads this forum is a fan of NS, and probably everyone has seen the HL2 movie or at least some screenshots. I think it would be a wonderful thing to see Natural Selection make a transfere to HL2. What is the community reaction to this idea? How can the community help the NS Team? If NS is to make the transfere, I would guess the team would need to expand in size to get a beta and further updates out in a timely manner. Can the community help the team in other ways besides donating funds (Meaning, can the NS team recruit more members from the community)?
I want to know what the NS community thinks, but I also would like some insight into the NS team's discussion on this matter. I know almost everyone will buy HL2 when it arrives and I would hate to see NS fall by the wayside.
So, reactions?

I've given this some though and I think that NS should remain a Half Life mod. Why? Not everyone that has HL will get HL2. It would split the community. You would get players playing the HL2 version and players playing the HL version.

I'm gonna make a poll of this.

This topic has been posted several times per week since before HL2 was even announced.

Hmm might help if these threads didnt always get locked, I don't see why people can't discuss the possibility of NS and the source engine.

Why do we have the "create poll" button if we cannot use it?

As far as the poll goes.. I agree, I think we should be able to use that function. Now, back to topic.

Transfering over to the hl2 engine would mean that NS would have to be STRICTLY a hl2 mod, AND it would mean that we'd be playtesting/betatesting for the next 10 months, atleast.. and that's IF flayra recruited the community...

That being said, I know I'd be more than willing to devote every spare second I have to NS development, and I'm more than willing to aid in ne way I can... *3d modling/coding/pt-ing/ w/e* I am sure other ppl fee the smae way *and might have more skills at those things, since I'm a dabler, and haven't stuck to one thing or another.. I can code some, I can model some.. I've done some scripting before.. etc..*

Now, down to brass tacks:

I'm not going to stop playing NS b/c HL2 comes out. NS is way more intense than ne non-online game could be I think, and I love the game to death... so I don't think I'll stop playing it in the near future. I also think that the overhead as far as devel time/energy goes is way to much to warrent thinking about this till 1.1 is out, and established.. and I think flay might agree with that.

NS isn't so much short of manpower. Further recruitments would be useful on a small scale and will doubtlessly happen, but a further inflation of the extended devteam, be it for a hypothetical HL2 port or this mod, is not the definite solution to all issues there are - a team just reaches a size when organizing the members becomes more difficult than actually making the damn game.

Macguyvok

Nem, I can see that. It makes some sense... and I think that what that boils this down to is: HL2 = possibly in the future. Like NS 2.0. So, can we please stop the asking.. or webb this so ppl stop asking?
