You've started a community for a game that doesn't exist yet? A game you don't even know if you'll like or not? (well you don't SEEM to be a playtester)

Sorry to be negative and all that, but wouldn't it be a good idea to wait until NS:C is out?

Or have i missed something?

The NS community started roughly 2 years before NS came out, you know.

And so it begins.....

Still, when the community <b>does</b> seperate from those who joined the community for NSC only, at least they wont be here....

Get your facts right please. NS Combat is a new gamemode. If that is what you intended to say, then it really doesnt come across that way.

snozzle · October 2003

IMO, i would support them for now. Alot of games in the beta stages have fan sites out (helped by playtesters) , and they usually turn out pretty sucessful. I would not be surprised if ns:c is added into CAL as a part of ns or as a seperate league.

just because i wouldnt be surprised doesnt mean it will happen <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'>

Did it ever occur to you that the site had just opened up? Give it some time.

Also, the site kind of percieves NS:C as a new mod. It's not. It's like making a community for defuse maps...

Epidemic · October 2003

Stop being so negative, this is an ok idea..
Yeah, he may have made some errors in the hurry but <i>please</i> spare us from your craptismisme

MrMojo · October 2003

Since the gameplays are so separate, new clans and communities will form, relying on aim instead of strategy.

you win!

indeed the nscombat.org website will revolve around.. well me guess NS:Combat. running ns:c tournaments, competitions etc.

Actually, it isnt like running a community for "defuse" maps, its more like running a community for "quake 3: rocket arena" as apposed to vanilla quake.

with respect to q3 and q3:RA, the difference between ns:combat and vanilla ns is what i beleive to be extended on a much larger scale, being less strategically involved and more like "deathmatch" as apposed to "assult" (refer to unreal tournament). SO in a way 'yes' its like a community for "defuse" maps for ****-strike, BUT dont you agree its to much more extent? although its just another gametype, it eradicates things such as the commander, where i beleive there will be a noticable difference between the two types. like, clan's being formed that only compete in combat mode, so on and so forth. I havent discussed this with the other admins of this community, but i intend on running a server where the only maps in rotation will be combat maps. i also beleive that some servers will run ONLY original ns maps, for the people who dislike combat mode. SO, with the release of ns:combat maybe there might be a few communities released for ORIGINAL NS.

No, that's not true at all... RA3 was a mod for Quake 3, just as Natural Selection is to Half-Life. Combat is a game mode for NS, not a mod. Regardless of how different it is, the fact remains that it is the same mod and you really shouldn't call it a "mod" for NS because that's wrong...

If you want to use the Quake 3 example, think of it as calling Deathmatch a mod for Q3 Capture the Flag. It really doesn't matter how different the gameplay is, you should call it what it is, a gametype.

intrik · October 2003

well you have made a very valid point.

Hida_Tsuzua · October 2003

I see nothing wrong with a NS:C website. NS:C while nearly keeping everything from NS has a completely different gamplay. The site now is somewhat lacking, but that's understandable as it was recently released and the mod for it hasn't come out yet.

Twoheadedchicken · October 2003

I don't know much about NS:C, but if I'm going to have to play NS:C as a skulk I better have leap from the beginning. Leap and Blink are the only things that would make it different from every other bloody HL mod, or FPS for that much. Overall I don't see how this is going to help the community. I don't see how the hell it can attract new people, and it will end up splitting the already scanty pub community. Please tell me it will at least be less intensive on a server than NS.

MrMojo · October 2003

And the ability to cover a distance in a short amount of time would change your view on this how?

Good I'm glad.

People stop being so negative.

Some people will come for combat and stay for the reg ns.

Some people will come for the reg and go to combat.

Having MORE people playing isn't going to hurt you one bit cause you'll all be at hamptons / champtons anyway. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

I agree that I think combat will take on a life of its own with its own clans/tournaments/tatics. But there is nothing wrong with that.

Predmid · October 2003

for petes sake, will everyone just let the game be released before the nostramus'es out there make a prediction that ns:c will ruin ns? i whole heartedly believe that ns:c will do for the community what the pandas "clan training" is attempting to do; try and improve the quality of play out there and have some people try a new game for an extended period of time before they uninstall a piece of pure genius.

I know dozens of people who played original ns and quit after 5 mins cause they didnt know exactly what htey were doing. but once u learn the game play and understand the mechanics, the rest will come easy.

Anyway you sparked a thought in me, one of which I had not recognized before... Perhaps NS:C will <b>expand the userbase for regular NS</b>because once people understand the play mechanics, <i>they will feel inclined/motivated/capable of playing something more complicated</i>. After all, if I were a first time player, I wouldn't mind something not wholly unlike a learning curve...
