The game just came out...

Middlemoor

...so hold your horses on the snap judgements.

I've seen games killed by players who don't invest the time required to learn it's ins-and-outs. Practice makes perfect and i'm sure there will be changes to the game in future.

i agree but they can go screw them selves, this mod make cs eat #### badley, i loaded up the first level just to see what it was like and it had such creepy feeling to it even though i new i was the only one playing this has loads of features and i hope features aren't taken out ever <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

and i didn't see beta any where so does this mean its a final release and any other will be just patches and map packs

This isn't the final release, but I think this is as close to a final release as the team felt they could get in a reasonable time(In other words, before everyone who'd been waiting stormed their houses&#33<!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo--> .  As I understand it, there's a lot more goodness to be added and refined(A training map, Marine vs. Marine, etc).
