*SIGH* Half-Life is the mod moddable engine, has the largest potential fan base, easy to work for, lots of people willing to help out on this engine, etc. The pros for using this engine heavily out-weigh the cons. No point getting mad, or saying the team is stupid, it was a <b>smart</b> move.
Anyone else here think HL got popular becuase of CS? It's still amazing how many mods are being produced, and top quality mods at that for the HL engine <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo--> Gotta love it!! I can't wait for NS
Even if the graphics are getting dated, with good modelers and high resolution, it still looks great (and may I add, with high framerates on almost all systems)
To hell with graphics I say! They are gravy, gameplay is all that matters, I am tired of games trading in thier gameplay for graphics. If gameplay was good I wouldn't mind pong graphics.
hehe oh I see <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->
pong graphics I might have trouble with for an FPS. Half-life graphics are fine by me, though I have heard others say that can't even look at half-life anymore because the graphics are so bad... I say, "show's me where you put your values in a game"
I'm not saying Natural Selection doesn't look good. In fact, I think it looks great for the HL engine. The maps have great detail, modelling's pretty good, and the skins are good.
By the way, Half-Life has problems with higher-poly stuff, even on fast computers. At times, even when the polys are just double the original HL model's, my comp slows down... and hell, I'm running with an ATI Radeon 8500 256 MB, with 1.4 Ghz. Well, okay. By slowdown, I mean it goes down to 20-30 FPS. But this is HL! And the models don't look super-top notch! So why should it go slow?
Hmm... that reminds me, I need to reformat my drives. It's doing funky crap. I hate doing this...
Are there going to be any weapon-specific (or class-specific, in the case of aliens) kill icons? It may get a tad annoying if the standard "skull and crossbones" icon is the only one.
Srry Surge but there is no 256mg Radeon card cept 4 the 9700 wich is 128 megs i belive.
But what I wanted to say is that I see no sign of RC5 pics soooooo <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--> I might be ahead of myself here but I got my fingers crossed.
Technically this weekend should be RC6! Im also crossing my fingers, eyes, and everything else I can cross <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
ummm depends which make of ati 8500 you have... I got an 8500 and lemme say that even if the power is as good ATI is notorious for slow drivers (they are working on it and they promise good drivers for the 9700) the hercules ati is fairly good... if you wanna see how your card stacks up go to www.guru3d.com...and also how muuch ram you got in your system because that can cause low fps problems too...

I am far past triple posts stalker, as for the third I am just a perfectionist and couldn't let that error be unfixed, as for the second post I put it there because the first post didn't come out right cause I don't know how to use quotes.
BtW Surge ur 8500 is way better than a Gf3 its around a Gf4 Ti 200 which is damn good for its price, and if ur interested in ati cards look at the 9700 its godly.

Oh yah. It is 128. My mistake there. But it's still GF3 quality.
