<b><span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>NATURAL SELECTION - FULL OF FLAWS, BUGS, AND GENERAL STUPIDITY.</span></b>
It's time to get down to the gritty truth of things. This game sucks. It's buggy, incomplete, and has none of the charm and lure of any other popular mods these days (counter-strike for one). The player base is made up of drooling 13 year olds who always stack the monster team. So the mod sucks, so what sub! Tell us what we need to fix and we'll do it! Below are a few suggestions that will take Natural Selection to the next level.
- Vehicles. Marines get totally owned every single time I play them, and I know it's not my comming that's causing it. All the monsters are basically vehicles, going zooming around the map and rolling over and squishing all the poor marines. It's just not balanced. Marines need some sort of tank that has armour, and some sort of turret that can kill an onos in 2 shots.
- HA is slow! I mean if you're going to have a mechanical armour suit in the future, wouldn't you at least make it have wheels or something to go faster? HA should be replaced with something with rockets that can make marines travel as fast as an upgraded monster.
- Only 1 commander. With only 1 commander, it's hard for marines to coordinate an assault. I think if we had 2-3 of them instead of 1 it'd be much easier to hit hives and take them out.
- There are only 2 classes of marines at the moment, compared to the 5 classes aliens can upgrade to. I thought this game was called 'natural selection', not 'no evolution happening here'. Marines should be able to evolve to new types of humans. Like one with long arms could hold two guns at once, or perhaps a gun and a type of light sword. And one with a huge brain but is low in health that could think really fast.
- Skulk is too weak and slow. It should be bigger, about half the size of an onos, but make its bite do half damage. And like perhaps giving it an ability, like 'bark' or something, that would make marines run away. Kind of like a fear upgrade.
- Fade, gods don’t get me started. This is perhaps the most useless class of the lot. Blink, great who uses it when you've got celerity??? I think it'd be best to remove blink all together and have another slot for healing. Like healing and curing. Or perhaps the fade could heal other aliens.
- Onos - come on about the thing! The onos is toastily warmed with butter and a slice of jamdango. If Flayra only had some toast he could have the up onos and be a win.
Seriously developers, natural-selection needs a LOT more work done to it before valve will let you guys put it on STEAM. It's just half assed. After 2 versions you guys still haven’t got it right! Marines are totally whipped. Aliens are overpowered to the extreme. The only people who play it are the same 16 people that I always see. No sniper rifle?? No buy menu?? Come on guys; get a clue when you set out to make a mod.

True.
Maybe the CS dev team, and the top clans are makinga general call to all the CS players saying "NS SUCKS, THEY ARE GOING TO BEAT CS IF WE DONT FIGHT BACK!!! GET TO THE FORUMS, SAY STUPID THINGS, SAY NS SUCK, NS IS KILLING CS!!! ARGH! NS IS GETTING TO POPULAR , CS IS GOING DOWN!! FIGHT FOR YOUR BELOVED CS!!"

There brainwashing them! I need to tell my CS addicted freind! /me hurrys off
Thank you.
So put the appropirate stuff in your sig, number one.
Number two, you shouldn't tell people untill one or two days after you make the original post you were being satirical, and I found it a tid bit funny. You should have been more stingy in your remarks, and next time try to avoid being like the Something Awful review of NS, both of which were not funny and slightly stupid.
EDIT:
How's the weather in Australia? Flaming hot as usual?
me too <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Why don't we just let Forlorn do everybody's sig?
Problem solved.

Forlorn, you're the critical snob of the forums right?
So please disect every part of my original post and point out how it's all wrong, number one.
Number two, you should have replied to the original post within 15 seconds with a 2 page rant. You should have replied faster, with the maximum amount of cynicism possible in your remarks, and next time try to avoid having spazmotic seazures of glee as you read your own post.
EDIT:
^Satire by the way.
Sup forlorn, I live in melbourne so the weather is an average of 25C. #1 city in the world dude.

A squable with forlorn is much more interesting than most clanning squables <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Best idea ever.
Take notes, because it's clear Forlorn is the Captain of Internet Humor. Every post he makes is pure comedic genius!
I don't know what we'd do without his humor guidance. Thank god that he's always around to help us be a "tid" bit more funny.
He's also a "Veteran" so you know that his super interweb label means he knows more than you about everything.

Liked the first post, and the flames. Good ideas, thumbs up!
If I was in the business of quoting people in my signature, that'd surely be my first customer.
