Hi! I'm Cam (cameron if u prefer) i've been playing NS for 9 months, and I recently found the NS webpage (foolish me thinking it would be linked form planet halflife) and I love the community so far, I think its evident I like this place from the fact I've made 50+ posts in 2 days.
First things first, so I guess Ill post here <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> My name is Bill, but most people online will call me "Blu3".

Welcome newcomers. Sorry about that link on the first post, haven't updated this in... years? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Yo! I'm not new to NS.. but new to the board. Gimmi HA and a 'nade launcher and I'm set. I'm a good story writer too.. so expect some stories once I learn more about the aliens.
Hello. I shall Tell you my name and a few hobbies. My Name Is Matt Yost, the o in Yost is a long o... I was a huge sc/bw gamer but like so many others i found cs and have started to play it. Then after playing cs for a few months i also found NS and TFC??. Installing NS took long enough on Dial up (Which is not the NS Team's Fault i guess) but then after trial and error for about 30 minutes i finally got NS installed <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> It was worth it i guess... but to get the full exp of the game il have to play it more then 2 days. GL To you all on your next NS Mission <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo-->
Hello. I'm Kevin (Chronos in HL) and I'd like to say I'm incredibly impressed with NS. Even on dial-up you have made the game run nearly flawlessly. Still gotta' read the newcomers thread (on how to get started in NS). I say this, trial and error didn't work very well. I stumbled into a game without a commander (or one that wasn't doing much if there was one), but I still managed to help out a bit on repairing structures. Anyway, it's good to be here. I've got an interresting idea that I'll post at a later time. (Could be within the next hour, could be a day) o_O
And I like the custom NS Emoticons. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Hello. My name is Mikko, and I come from Finland, a town called Kuopio. This is my first post even though I'm not that new to NS, only the forums. Natural Selection is a great mod. Excellent work.
Hi, my name is Tobyn. I know the username might be a bit misleading but I'm a guy. I live in Atlanta, GA and play on most of the eastern/central north american servers. I've been playing NS for quite a while off and on when Real Life allows, but I work nights and usually play at really odd hours. Hope to see any other night owls on the servers from time to time.

Heya, my name here is Stewie, my ingame name is [RA]Stewie and I'm Dutch ... I mostly play on Dutch servers.

Im warder808, from Brooklyn NY. I heard about NS from PCGamer months ago. I played for a little bit, but stopped for some reason. Hearing about the new version I tried it out. Seems much better, just graphics-wise, seems a bit smoother.
I like playing both sides so far. I'll definitely stick around for a while.

The crouch key(toggleable) activates wall crawling, and some icons to let u know if you're on a wall or ceiling. Then I'll be eating marines from the walls and ceilings for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Hi warder and welcome on the fora. I'm Severijn(daedalus in-game) and come from belgium. I played this game since 1.0. I just loved it from the first trailer. About your suggestion... This has already been suggested, but people agreed that it would make the kharaa life only more difficul and less fun because on crappy terrain, you would get disorientated.
Hey, I'm also new to the community.

Hi, I play as Enron. I've been playing since 1.0 but my college has a tight firewall so I haven't been out on the servers till now. Plus I'm bored at work alot, so this gives me time to post on here.
I probably fall into a rare category in that I can quote on the spot every alien/ability/upgrade--tech/weapon/uses and even know the maps fairly well, but have very little pub server experience.
I'm really looking forward to playing with experienced people and perhaps in a clan setting. Serious CS games were so much more fun that pubs, I can imagine its the same with NS.
Hi everyone! My name is Krytos, both in the forum and in game. I downloaded NS right after 2.0 was released, but have only now gotten to the forums. I found out about NS from another forum. It sounded really good so I downloaded it, and haven't stopped playing since. While I may be a "Newb" in the forum, I can hold my own as either a rine or an alien. I have a hard time believeing that this is a HL mod. Too bad you guys can't sell this, you would be millionaires!
::marine::Heard about NS from a few friends thought I could give it a try. I'm quite impressed-back to the glory of free for all deathmatch with teamwork that CS was not combined with a little RTS...and here I am.
As the name suggests I try and play as the marine commander and I enjoy it too. Strategems and micro management are my strengths, running around shooting isn't. (Some could say that's debatable-both parts) I don't have much experience in the net gaming-I'm more of a LAN person.
Thats it until I can sift through the list of rejected and accepted Ideas for NS (Flamethrowers and Alternative resource collection are obviously out)
NS is fun, isn't it? Don't quit too soon, this is probably the most active mod in terms of updating and paying attention to the community and the like.

Hey everyone, I'm not quite so new to NS. I downloaded version 2.0, and since it was so big I went to sleep when it finished. The following day I wanted to check out the maps by starting a LAN game no one would join and running around by myself, but that didn't work. Disheartened, I stopped for the day and did other things. The day after that, the friend who had shown me NS invited me to a game on Gamespy Arcade and what little life I had left was lost in the hours of gaming that ensued. This included a four and a half hour match (one! ONE MATCH!) from two AM to six-thirty AM. I have <i>never</i> done that before.
The game is so new! The gameplay is like nothing I've ever seen! You never got to walk on walls or fly in CS, among many other exciting new things I picked up on fairly quickly. After two weeks I was already killing Onos with knives and welders, and chomping through four or more marines in a row.
After that first mad gaming rush I slowed down a bit and discovered the forums, and, well, here I am.
