<div class="IPBDescription">Someone had to post this in here :/ !</div> Note to mods: The purpose of this thread is to draw attention and hype to one of the biggest things NS has ever needed. Also to place pressure on this map to make sure it is included...! It's also to discuss the implications of having NSPlayers having some kind of clue now when they pick up the game, and what difference it could mean for it's popularity.
Okay, anyhow for those who are wondering what the hell <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=83666&view=findpost&p=1295282' target='_blank'>I'm talking about!</a> This is the first tutorial ns map ever made. NS 3.0 wouldn't be complete without it. It looks awesome just from the video, you can see it's progress of the map made <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=76128' target='_blank'>right here.</a>
So yeah what do yout think this map will mean for nubs who pick up 3.0? Will they be more likely to stick with the game, and less new player frustration on the servers?

Maybe at the end of the hazard course, there will be a place where, as a gorge, you need to bunnhop to make a jump. That'd be cool.
"Teaching the next generation how to exploit engine bugs" -- most probable headliner for the map.
[edit - about time NS got a hazard map, and imo, it should've been done a LONG time ago.]
Information about the video in <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=83666' target='_blank'>This Thread!</a>.
From the screens and the movie though, this looks awesome.

Now im scared about some things:
The marine RTFM screamers,
the "I've played the hazardours course, I know how to comm, do'nt eject me!" commander
and the "what theres a manual? Only little children read manuals" aliens.
Well I'm guessing that seeing as it's a single player tutorial you won't be getting much lag. As for average r_speeds etc. I guess that information is in the thread.
From what I've seen it looks OK in terms of 'lag', not likely to completely chug your old timer out, but it wouldn't hurt if someone went over it with a fine toothcomb to check for visible null faces and optimise the brushcount.
To be honest it really won't matter that much if it's only a single player tutuorial, maybe the next step is a multiplayer map for the nubbinses to get to grips with!
If they started in MS and the doors didn't open for a minute they'd be able to throw down some structures and get the basics built while also guiding them to the first res node (one MS doors is closed, the other is open leading to RT#1 with the door beyond that closed).
But I'm guessing the first thing that's needed is the Alien Tutorial. Any volunteers?
What does it matter if it isn't made official, it's still gonna mean fewer nubs in servers so therefore a higher standard of PUB gameplay and also will encourage and keep more people playing NS.
Sorry tell me again -kid- why I shouldn't be excited?
Props to meat_popsicle!
