<div class="IPBDescription">Dispell the rumors</div>For the first time yesterday, I came into #naturalselection... and they were talking about FLF... by their own accord!

I hear a lot of people played FLF and then quit.  Lemme tell ya.

Current Version of FLF is 1.7.

Version 1.1 was the time when most the people played FLF.  Considered by many the "golden age."  The FAMAS owned.

Version 1.2 was the most disastrous release in game history.  Painfully overpowered auto-shotgun added.  Spinning corpses, random black triangles manifesting themselves onscreen, muchisimo crashing, "Suppressive Fire" effect that made it impossible to aim if under fire, FAMAS nerfed.  People left the mod in droves.

Version 1.2a. Came about 2 months after 1.2's release, 2 months too late.  The damage was already done.  Barely anyone played the mod.

Version 1.3. Really not that bad.  FAMAS was re-awesomeized.  1.2 series forced the current dev team out of power.

Version 1.3a.  Longest running version ever.  About 7 months.  Quite a few crashing problems (that could be avoided by changing certain cvars).  Version 1.5 near-endlessly awaited.  MSG-90 sniper rifle, Pump shotty, Auto shotty SUCKED.  FAMAS was considerably lessened.

Version 1.4. playtester only <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

Version 1.5. HUGE release!  New weapon viewports, map-specific team skins, shotguns made good once again... but perhaps a little too good.  Moving on to ...

Version 1.6. About 2 weeks after release of 1.5, dubbed the "ninja release" for low publicity <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--> Hooray for shotgun balance! But now the machinegun was endlessly whored.  Uhoh... time for...

Version 1.7. THE EPITOME OF WEAPON BALANCE.  Every single gun is ownage if you know how to use it.  All guns used equally in proportion to their peers (except autoshotty but who cares <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->).

Version 1.8 (upcoming).  Rain, Snow, Thunder, Lightning. New machinegun.  Jokes in forum about a "Ninja" class and banana gun <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

What else needs to be said?!  Go play FLF <b>NOW!!!</b>

    I found 3 servers with people playing. One was full, one was expert only, and one was running a custom map.

    Guh?

    I've got FLF and I think it's one of the best teamplay mods out there.  Can't say I like getting sniped at so much, but that goes for just about any mod.  I like the fast pace of the gameplay a lot, though.

    for me personally i liked flf best at .95 or so, right before we released. i didn't like it on public servers at all... and then other "issues" and me leaving the team and yadda yadda... long story ashort, i haven't played FLF since like 1.1, and that was only for probably a week.

    I should really check out 1.7 just to see...

    is my map (village) still included?

    His title says he playtests, which is still pretty much being "part of" something.

    Being a playtester is like having sex. Anyone can do it - it's only a question of how well and how often. In most of our tester's cases, they aren't very good in bed.

    <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo--> <-- j/k

    Doom was FLF's PR man, lead mapper, and beta-test organizer. That's how I knew him from days gone by, as I was an occasional tester for them pre version 1.

    lol DOOM, village is still in the official release <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
    but we are missing the rmf file so we can't fix the APC not opening bug D:

    btw: if there were more players... there would be more open servers... join Spies, |FIRM|, -=IFH=-, or CosaNostra (expert only) even if they are empty.  People will join, they are popular servers.

    ANNOUNCE THAT YOU ARE A NOOB!!! Change your name upon entering a server (spies doesn't allow people with name Era En Broma to join because of m4d smurfing in 1.3a)

    If you are a noob, and you tell people, they will help you out (beware of those with a -RoT- tag, they see noobs as fresh meat D: )

    btw jedi yoshi the links were messed up, they work now
