Ns

Personally, I do feel that NS is having problems, people ARE getting bored.

It's very hard to get a decent game in 2.0, and as much as I love NS, I'm thinking of quitting.

A lot of people feel the same way as me, 2.0 just doesn't feel the same as 1.04, and there's definately not the teamwork feeling or general friendlyness that you used to get in 1.04.

Thoughts?

    "if it aint broke dont fix it"

    too much was changed.

    and now ns playing figures are right down, things seem to be going downhill...

    Personally I am not playing it as much as I used to... but I used to play it A LOT. So did I have too much of a good thing?

    I think everyone did, it all peaked at 1.04 and then when 2.0 came out everyone was like, 'oh',

    Tbh there was TOO MUCH hype surrounding 2.0, and it didn't deliver for me.

    i agree, kind of in this way:
    Reasons for quitting ns:
    1; 99% of you absolutely suck at this game
    2; 99.5% of you have absolutely no clue how to play this game
    3; 99% of you have common sense on par with a lump of wood
    4; NS is going nowhere fast. with HL2 just around the corner, i cant see NS competing in the same league as HL2 mods
    5; Community is too small, finding matches becomes a chore compared to games like q3 and cs. yes i know theyre older games but having easily available matches makes the game a lot more fun
    6; NS = low skill mod . for those of you that dont understand, take a look at quake3 , it requires a lot more skill and tactics (some would argue about the tactical side, but go take a look at a high level TDM game first)
    7; the balance crap isnt an issue, its the same for everyone isnt it ?? but the amount of PEOPLE THAT DONT STOP WHINING , YOU DO MY HEAD IN
    8; these forums are a joke, seriously mindless idiots who follow the crowd like sheep, and if one person steps out of line he's flamed or banned from the forums
    9; ns is more repetetive than cs , seriously you can predict an ns public a lot easier than a cs public, same with matches. which means cs is a lot more of a spectator sport which makes it go further in the competition world.
    10; i gave 2.0 a go, and its just lost the element of fun that 1.04 had, cant really put my finger on it, but its just ....... boring


    anyway, thats my reasoning, should keep the dev's happy or something, either that or this will be locked/deleted (which would be silly now wouldnt it)

    What, all the bandwagon mods with nothing but 12 unskinned weapon renders and ridiculously large teams with 8 programmers or 12 PR guys and no content whatsoever?

    Don't expect anything decent from HL2 mod teams for at least 6-8 months. And by then I'd expect half of them will have died in some spectacular soap opera anyway.

    this site needs more publicity built into the game, i dont know website links into the software, or just more advertising in general.
    if a small percentage of the current so called idiot players dropped by and learnt how to 'play properly' from reading these boards (like most of us did i imagine) the 'community' as a whole would be so much better. probably.

    Surely NS is supposed to last for more than another year?

    not only does he insult us in HIS thread, but he insults us in this one too!!!!

    that's it! why don't you just leave!?!? you already told us you were going, so why don't you just do so instead of insulting us further!?!?

    you're only insulted if you admit you have no clue or common sense, by your own words you are A NOOB .

    *BSD IS DYING!

    Oh, sorry, wrong thread.

    But really, have you guys not played 2.01d? Balance seems much much better now. If not, I'd like to lend you this phrase our friends over the pond like to use: sod off!
  • N1ghtN1ght Join Date: 2003-04-07 Member: 15301Members
    you didn't buy ns, you dont pay to play ns, the developers do it off their own back, they don't have to make this game, update this game or do anythign to this game if they do not want to.

    How about you post something along the lines of 'thanks for the x number of months of enjoyment this game has given me' rather than just mindless flaming.

    Since not everyone on this forum is completely familiar to animosity, i thought both he and the viewers would appreciate it if i add his picture to the thread. It may give an added umph to his goodbye speech
