<div class="IPBDescription">Would it have a story..or be like cs..</div>Assuming..(note:assuming) NS ever went retail, would it just be a boxed version of it, with new maps and features like CS did when it went retail?

Or would it come with a story? Like CS:CZ?

Personally i'd find the story alot more interesting, as i'd like to learn more about the TSA, and aliens.

And if it ever did (I hope the original dev team stayed on) so it retain its fun, and intriguing innovations.

    Who knows. It WOULD be cool if they had a storyline, I guess a brief version of all the stories that all the people here wrote of the TSA and the aliens. Either way, I *think* they will have a little story to make the game a little more understanding to people new to the game.

    yes, NS DOES have a story line...

    how'd you think the frontier marines find the aliens?

    sure, space ships and star cruisers are a old idea and often over-used, but they all have such GREAT story lines. (ie: Alien series, Contra series [for teh nes!], etc)

    not to mention marines fighting hordes of ravenous alien-like-creatures never gets old!!! <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    The only way Natural Selection will ever go retail if it attains the popularity of the Big 3 as I'd like to call them (Counterstrike, Day of Defeat, TFC).  

    As for popularity, that remains to be seen.

    Or someone comes along and says they can box the product.

    It's a good bet that the game will be boxed if the Gamespy stats of Natural Selection exceed Day of Defeat and TFC.  Otherwise I wouldn't imagine anyone doing it, but let's hope it does smash DoD and TFC stats.  <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    It seemed that in my now-gone poll of NS popularity, most people thought it would equal or surpass TFC and DOD popularity. Let's just hope valve doesn't step in at some point and mess with it a lot.
