    Some real surprises in there.

    -Sounds like we might not see a NS2 anytime soon: Flay may do some other game first
    -Valve isn't involved: i.e. NS is not going to go the way of Counter-strike, team fortress, or DoD

    Er. Scary: I can definately see the dire possibility that a NS2 will never come out within the next few years.

    Games generally take 2 years minimum to make, and it seems blatantly obvious they haven't started yet so....yeah I would have to say that NS2 won't be here for a long time.

    That wasn't my point: my point was that if anything, he seemed to be hinting that they might not start off with doing NS2. And if so, it's entirely possible that they could spend years on some other game, have it not do well enough to continue development, and by then most of the team will have moved on. In fact, it seems like unknown worlds won't have the majority of people who helped make NS on board, because they have other engagements. Seems kinda sad: like when the Beatles broke up.

    Well, it's not as though NS would go completely unattended - it's merely shifting from full time project to hobby again, so the amorphous entity that's the NS team will in some way stay together, just not under the label 'UWE'.

    Oh goody, just what we need, more people complaining that someone "stole" their kill. As well as more people who are afraid to attack because it will mess up their k/d ratio.

    So you already know not only that this is going to be the new system, but also <i>what</i> is going to be ranked? Cool! I didn't, and I just talked to two of the devs for 40 minutes...

    Have we ever known flayra to do anything halfheartedly? <b>IF</b> it is a ranking system then it will probably be a ranking system the likes of which we've never seen, and I think that you are underestimating the creative genius of the NS team

    I hope so. I'm not sure how they could determine how someone helped take back a hive, or did something that changed the tide of battle and allowed their team to win. When I hear "ranking system" I just keep thinking stat ****.

    I will keep my fingers crossed though <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

    A ranking system sounds plausable, but how would it '<i>change the way ns is played</i>'?
