Amist all the whining, all the complaining, and all the dev bashing, I would like to put in this side note.

Regardless of my feelings on this new release, I want to say thank you to the dev team. It's not everyday you can download a mod, and see it worked on, improved, and developed to the extent that NS has in the past years. The improvements and work done since version 1 are more than incredible--and for ANY group of people to maintain such a thing for free, that tells me that the people working on this mod are dedicated to their work, take pride in it, and want to futher their own abilities working on something such as this.

So props to you guys, I don't care what all the flamers, and complainers have to say. You guys deserve more credit than people in this community are willing to give.

    No from our side, props to making a game that we care about so much. I mean, nobody would be saying anything without the awesome creation that is ns. I mean please we're never trying to undermine your efforts we're just trying to get the point across that there appear to be problems with the build at the competitive level. People talk with more drama then is neccessary, its the nature of the message board. Just please listen when you have people who play this game so much and so hard all say the same things in unison.

    Having played since v1, I think that quote is deliciously accurate.

    Very nice job dev team, very nice.
    I mean, you've created a game - one that I've played more than <b>any other game</b>, and this one is <b>free</b>. You've created a game that's better than any other - plus it's a free mod. I doubt anyone can beat that.
    You've kept me hooked for the past year and more, hope that's the way it'll stay in the future.

    It's worth noting that the more abusive, condescending and spoilt the posts get, the less work gets done on NS. The team isn't paid, so we do this because:

    a) We want to,

    b) We are able to (where other people for all their claims to know better) blatantly can't/won't

    When team members log on to the forums and see nothing but unending abuse and derision, with occasional fawning for Flayra, they get demotivated. Why do you think that almost all of the original team no longer work on the game? Hell, I only ended up being PT lead (twice) because it's such a ***** job that no one else in their right mind would do it.

    Well to all the whiners: Go make your own great mod with a large following that's at the top of the Steam 3rd party list.

    Sigh....

    I love the mod and think its a brilliantly fun game, usually.

    But that doesn't mean the game is perfect, there is always room for improvement (cough removing focus cough)

    <3 the game and dev team though

    same here, i spend more time with this game than anthing ive bought.
    and even to those that dont like ns, no one can deny the fact that NS has done more with the hl engine than any other mod, or even the offical games for that matter.

    Didnt valve pretty much laugh at flayra when he wanted to make ns, they said it would be impossible to make the commanders view or something like that?

    Wow valve said it couldnt done?? So what is the history of NS and where are the original developers?

    Its amazing, here i am thinking when are valve going to pick NS up. NS is simply the best, most complete mod out there. Just for comparisons sake as a multiplayer mod it destroys CS in almost every way. The depth of gameplay, *true* team work, detail, Combat...its truly brilliant what you guys have done!


    If there is a mod worthy of going retail its NS.

    You know what I find funny is that people who did not even CREATE the engine, went and turned it around to make the best damn use of it. Its not every mod you find structures, and theres no other mod with a third person commander view.

    It's the most unique HL mod to date, and personally, theres none that live up to it.

    Yeah... thanks devs, thanks Flayra.

    Port NS2 to MacOSX... or sell licence to make it a reality on other OSes like Linux AmigaOS4, BeOS... and my soul is yours :-)

    Keep up the good work.

    I think that the fact that I got a CM icon in my sig and still wear it with pride kinda speaks for itself with how I feel about the game
  • calthaercalthaer Join Date: 2005-02-24 Member: 42341Members
    Build 3.0 Final is an incredible improvement over other versions, and pretty much addresses any and all shortcomings (I thought) were in the 2.0 beta series. Man...the game rocks the casbah so much now!

    RO><0R!

    Well hey,thanks to a game that made me think outside of looking for enemies left,right,straight ahead and behind me. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    Now they add on the ceiling,on the wall,cloaked at your feet,cloaked behind you,cloaked anywhere near you,there's a fade....AND NOW IT JUMPED AT ME AAARRGHHH,its underneath/above your floor,its hiding on the lift sumwhere.
    Oh,and the ability to skulk is very good too. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    And being better than Counter-S**t is always a good thing.
  • TOmekkiTOmekki Join Date: 2003-11-25 Member: 23524Members
    knowing better than to diss a game you're never propably played is also a good thing. but let's not bring cs into this thread yes?

    I'll never miss CS <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
