The description was taken from natural-selection.org's <a href='http://www.natural-selection.org/about_ns.html' target='_blank'>About</a> page.

So we could assume that "vampires are totally awesome!!11!11" is taken from the VS about page? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

MrMojo

So does this mean people who don't have the mod installed can view this, or not?

Correct. This is a gimmick to

1. STICK A HUGE COUNTAR STRIEK AD IN YUR FAEC

2. Get more people playing other mods besides See Ess.

By game list they mean 'Natural Selection' will be rubbin' elbows with the official boys (DOD, CS, HL, whatnot) in the 'My Games' List. Which means that patches & game files will be delivered through steam. No more 'My dll differs from server!' tech support threads that are clogging up that fourm.

Have to agree with that. If you exclude the not-so-intuitive commander-mode. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

R.I.P Natural Selection. Goddamn I *hate* the regular "AXN-packed" crap. Blasting a skulk after skulk without any meaning simply isn't fun.

Carti

Quite cool. NS is right at the top.

Valve <3's NS too much me thinks

bassport

It's cool to see that NS is taken seriously.

But I'm making some quite annoying experiences with other players. I've been playing ns since the 2.0 release and when I started I knew nothing about the game. Everyone was helpful and noone screamed "nub", "n00b" etc., it was an absolutely easy and very welcome atmospehere.

With beta 3.0 it kinda started to get more like CS and I fear that this effect is going to increase with the popularity of the game.

What would be cool were kind of different groups of players... like amateurs could play with amateurs, fun loving gamers with fun loving gamers etc.

Dogg

Agreed bassport.

I looked into setting up a 'Newbie' sever. For new players and players that are more interested in good, fun games than their kill count. Basically I'd install the unchained chambers plugin and a random team plugin.

However after looking at hosting prices, I'd have to set up a donation thing and I'm not sure how many people would be interested in that.

why would you put unchained chambers on a "newbie" server? Arent they there to learn the game?

Flayra

I sent an e-mail along to VALVe to update the next and screenshot, which they nicely did already.

I hope this brings a lot of new faces into NS! Don't forget to be nice to them!

Here's a screenshot if you haven't seen it:

Sarisel

Steam's service is improving, at least.

NolSinkler

Good job flayra for this. If I see some new players then I will be nice to them (I already am, since I remember when I was new and everyone helped me). Yay more players!

Tekdude

Nice, but you should have told them to say "Aliens are totally awesome."

Seraph1

They should show shorter descriptions, but with a button to show a longer description ( the ns one wouldn't convince me to play )

Aea

I'm supprised people are actually downloading the specialists, fragfiles is being flooded by the thousands <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Petco

Not sure if this has to do with the new steam thing but it seems there are a few new players playing ns.

Tekdude

It's pretty much free advertising... and you know how America takes advertising... so yeah, I would assume.

ModChaosControl

Isnt ns 4th most played half-life mod?

ModChaosControl

I'm also suprised that flayra posts.

waller

1) CS:CZ
2) CS
3) DoD
4) NS
I belive.

Petco

Sometimes TFC goes up to 4th and ns goes back to 5th occasionally I think.

NzNexus

Im proud of that the Ns is first on top of the list Flayra showed us.

Ns is : A winner on the Steam list.
Epic in scale, glorius in foresight, and superlative in technology - its a huge hit.

ModChaosControl

that was in MISC. mods (Third Party)

OrganoX

Nice, now im looking forward to see Natural Selection not only in "Third Party Games" but even in "My Games" with a wonderful icon <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
