I have a question. I've been hearing alot about NS combat and i've been trying to find out if there is beta testing or if it's limited to certain people because i really want to check it out. I've scoured the boards, well not really, but i looked pretty good and i can't find anything with any kind of download info.
Can anyone help me? <!--emo&::lerk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/lerk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='lerk.gif'><!--endemo-->
Beta testing is available to all Vets and Constellation members. If you look on the first page you can see that you can now join constellation by registering a Clan with 10 members.
If you are not Constellation/Vet/In a clan, then you will have to wait. If you're interested, my clan is recruitig, but we are just casual players, not tourney lovers. Hard to explain, see the website for more details.

Welcome all to natural selection, and the boards! Hope you all had many hours of fun (and frustration) playing the game!
yeah NS isnt that normal. brainless shoot-em-up. Theres really a learning curve to tackle so lets start with some brief <u>basics</u>.
You really want to start with <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif'><!--endemo--> as they are the easiest.

As for kharaa (alien) side of things, it may be doubly hard as there are several upgrades which can be kinda confusing. Stumped? check the search function in these boards your bound to find answers fast. U pretty start of as a skulk or a level 1. One thing about skulks are, they move pretty damn fast and have a even more deadlier bite. Running straight to abuntch of marines is strictly no-no. You gotta play sneaky with this one!
Also check the TSA and Kharaa strategy forums in the navigational bar at the bottom right, they may help when your more familiar with the game.
Hello, im destroyer and let me just say this is a great game that i intend to play for a very long time.
Yesterday i also had the greatest game of my life
The marines had a foothold on cargo hive(cant remember map name) and people were trying desperately to get rid of the pg but kept dying so me as a skulk lept out of the vent near the pg and into a dark corner next to the hive, from there i went gorge and built the hive as endless swarms of aliens teleported in, i was crowned a hero in that game. if anyone remembers me from that server give me a shout
Thanks again on a great game and for being able to be part of a good community, Destroyer
Hi. My handle is Domukaz, and I'd say that based on playing this for a few times (Never, unfortunately, a full round) that this game is sheer genius (Though the hive-mind doesn't seem like much of an advantage for the aliens when the marines have that mini-map), and that I plan to play this til I get good at all its fields (Good doesn't equal mastery).
I am from the U.S., and I found out about Natural Selection through Planet Half-Life. Can't wait til 3.0 is released, it sounds awesome.

Hello everybody. I have had NS on my harddrive for quite a long time now but i haven´t bothered playing it. But now all that is going to change. I may suck at it but i still find it quite fun. Well designed and the people that play it seems to be quite a well behaved bunch. if you see somebody running of in the wrong direction on a server it´s most likely that it is me. Well that propably sums it up.
Actually, that was rather good english. Technically, I'm not new to the NS community, but I have not yet posted here. So, hiyas. I am me, and I like to talk about me. G'day.
im not a newbie, at all. I quit playin for about 4 months cuz something screwy happened to my ns. Now, im back, and loving it all over again! welcome newbies! nomero uno rule: don't do anything stupid! ask ask ask ask ask! if a person who knows what they are doing tells u to do someting, i suggest u do it! welcome aboard newbies!
hey everyone, new to this forum and community. well i havent played HL in so long and i happened to see this thread on neowin and i went to the site and the mod looks great!

My name is Tom, alias Sojourner. I heard about NS in PCGamer wayy back when I was on 56K, downloaded it but found it unplayable. I came back to it in v2 when I got DSL, tried it, was crap, gave up again. I recently downloaded v3 and have been slowly improving my game since.

hey guys its a first time for me at the posts and im from california usa. But most importantly i herd about natural selction by myself and really enjoy this game.But for some reason I thinking theres not enough deph in it. Maybe more weapons need to be added for the marines..I was think the lines of the extreme, but its just a thought. With my bad grammar.typing skills in mind lol (if I have any) as far as weaponary goes flamethrower,plasama gun(2 pts), chain gun (2pts),auto shoty (2 pts) and finally a grenade laucher that loads on clips instead of the slots one by one (2pts), i dont know I just feel something is missing. It starts to get boaring after a while just using all the weps. I also though that double pistols should be in for lvl 2 power upgrades. Also for lvl2 power upgrades there should be faster reloads.Another thing, could there med-heavy armor thrown in? Aswell as a mini jet pack for (1 pt). Of course this will have to even score for aliens keep that in mind. I also thought of another funny idea to have like a mini mechwarrior suit and just mow alien **** down..But thats never going to happpen probably. But just some thoughts. Let me know if these ideas give you the trigger finger and might be the next big thing. Later Poochi oh if you see my I sohuld have the clan name {ICE} REMEBER im not in a clan actually just a friend of mine's idea so I'm free. So go kick Alien/Marine **** later <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo-->---> <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif' /><!--endemo--> ---> <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif' /><!--endemo--> (gamer effect)

Hi, I'm new here. My brother pointed me out to this site. I hope to play natural selection real soon. For now I'm going to lurk in the forums. The mod seems very good. I can't believe that I will be installing half-life agian on my machine. Welcome back stranger.
Hi, I'm new to NS. Actually I downloaded V2.0 a few months ago on the recommendation of a friend, found out I was crap, and gave up playing. Then I went back to Counter-Strike and had a good play on Sven Coop 3.0. At the minute I'm downloading NS 3.0. Hope I'm better at it than I was at 2.0. If you see me online, please help me 'cos I'm a newb.
Hiya fellas. I'm Maarten Amkreutz from Holland, and on the Internet I go by the name of Snake101. I first heard about NS through a friend of mine at school, and after coincidentally seeing some screenshots and finding the homepage, my interest was peaked and I decided to download the thing. All I can say is: wow.
My first playing experience was scary though; bumped into some huge alien and got digested or something <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->
