<div class="IPBDescription">If not, why not?</div> I don't. Well I do pop in for a game with my friends maybe once a... month. Sometimes when I've little else to do I'll go to my favorite server. But I only play maybe two games a month.
Why not? After 1.04, the game's just gone downhill. Nothing new or exciting anymore. Changes I don't like that make no sense. The fact that the dev team decided somewhere in there to break off all contact with the players pretty much cemented the decision for me.
Anyone else?

As long as you're having fun playing NS, there's no reason to stop. At the same time, if you don't find it fun, there's no reason for you to keep playing. In the end, does it really matter how I waste my free time?
I love it for the fact that each game can be so different. Alot of people **** that every game goes pretty much the same, and that's true from a resource and upgrade perspective, but choke points, and areas of high combat change often, unlike counter strike where all the action takes place over and over again in the same exact spot as every other game you've played.
What Kamikaze said.
I play, and I desperately try to get in a good game, but I don't put in the sheer gametime I used to. Simply, there's little niggles that aren't going to be resolved, some I've got over, some I don't think I will, and I'm waiting to see how it develops.
3.0 anyway
Nerf LMG kthx

Same here.......1.04 was still the best, if they just tweaked it a bit, it'd be the greatest game EVER....again. Now I do like alot of changes yes, like the hand grenades (but the time gap it takes after you throw it and pull out your gun is just rediculous) but over all I think it has gone down hill.......I don't play NS maps anymroe at all. I just play COMBAT now.......it's a bit fun but I think needs a TAD bit of balancing issues, but this is the only way I"ll play NS at all is on the CO maps. Because public games just aren't cuttin it with NS.
1.04 was great <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
In ALL games with newer versions, people cry: "aah... the old version was so much better... huh"
But what is so bad now? what was bettr in 1.04 ?
The **** comm and blink (-stuck) bugs ?
the shotgun-reload bug?
the COMMUNITY?
lol... definitly not
Also I think they should unchain the chambers to make it scarey again <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> the aliens getting sensories around the map will be cool, lots of cloaking skulks <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Probably the only thing yes... Unfortunately, no change by the team could change it back, so we must just as well evolve away from all those errors from previous versions.
Just doing the same thing all the time gets a bit stupid I find, the introduction of CO was great, added some new stuff ta do. Hope this Bus is going to be good, till then, I play little as possible.
When bus arrives, ill be getting on.
In other words, at least 10 to 15 rounds a day, topped off by some NS mapmaking. In the summer time, I've got time for this kinda stuff...
I guess the population of forum monkeys that don't play NS makes up for the population of server mokeys that don't read the forums. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
But I stopped playing NS mode around the time 3.0 came out, played maybe 8 games since then.
Just today, I tried again. Joining half-way into the game, standard defense and movement up, with 2 hives, blah blah... It was not fun at all. Just really tense, hoping that noone(especially me) would screw up.
Eventually aliens won, but I had no fun at all during the whole game.
Not that it would have been better in any of the previous versions.
3.0 killed it for me. It was fun at first, but after a while, Combat was just more fun, which eventually got boring as well.
Now, this is the first post in this forum I've made for a few months...
Though NS isn't as fun and new as in my "noob-days" , I still enjoy it alot, since I'm pretty known on the pubs I play on.
Mostly because of one reason.
Combat and the n00bs it brought with it.
And because i don't see any teamwork and any real point to carry on playing, it's just mindless battles with no teamwork behind them.
Currently i'm doing a bit of 'mod-hopping'
I've been playing a bit of DoD and Firearms, and playing random mods which i found on ModDB
And a bit of TFC too.
The main problem, to me is that most of the most are too deathmatchy(TS, DMC, HLDM etc.)
