3.01
1.04 is a close on though. 3.01 edges it out though <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo-->

1.04, things I loved:<ul><li>The blinking fade, it looked so much cooler then this look at me flying arround thing. Was hoping the get stuck in wall issue would be solved for it's return, but probably not going to happen in ns1</li><li>The fact that an Onos was actually scary</li><li>The maps</li><li>Some of the skills from aliens</li><li>The usefullness of RTS strategy (with lockdowns) and buildings</li><li>The dependancy on hives for classes the aliens had</li></ul>1.04, things I hated:<ul><li>Laggy maps due to to many entities, which could be fixed for a 1.04/3.0x hybrid</li><li>Buggy/crash the server babblers (not the babblers them selves <!--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--> )</li><li>Onos stuck issues</li></ul>2.0, can't say really didn't play it that much and combat doesn't really have the NS feeling to it IMO
3.0x, nice new skills, building options and weapon tweaks, some of which I'd love to see in a 1.04/3.0x hybrid, but that's probably a dream which isn't going to be realized. Pah I'm most likely going to wait for ns2 to see if that has any potential to lure me back to ns....
i never played 1.xx so i can't say its my favorite. i played a few rounds on Bry's server and tbh it was hard without a minimap. so i'd have to say 3.0f is my favorite.

I like the latest versions the best... simply, it's impossible to make a game worse. Sure, some parts may get worse, but the majority of the game becomes better, less buggy, less frustrating, more fun!
2.01 b or c, can't remember which. It was the most balanced, and I had no problem soloing fades with a shotty <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

1.04 doesn't have nukes. If you're playing with "Nukes" in NS, your're playing some server plugin. The only versions of NS with "Nukes" available were pre 1.0 test versions.

Although i do like some of the new stuff in 3.0, lerk flight system, new maps (ns_eon ftw <!--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-->)
id have to say ns2.0, because there wasnt co yet, the old lerk flight system <!--emo&::lerk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/lerk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='lerk.gif' /><!--endemo--> , lerkspikes and the minimap. i miss the old blink though, blinking at the ceiling above a marines head and then straight down to appear right behind them was the best <!--emo&::fade::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/fade.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='fade.gif' /><!--endemo-->
a close 2nd and 3rd would be 1.04 and whatever 3.0 beta gave the aliens free combat xp, cuz it made people really hate CO and less of it was played on most servers <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Although 1.04 is a close second.

But 3.01 has so much potential, just needs a bit of tweaking... that I think it's the winner by default.
I didn't play much 1.04, but the game was not friendly enough. Still felt like... well.. 1.04. =p
The restricted Onos was very cool, though... wish you could get that Onos sensation back.

I recommand everyone to try 1.04 b4 3.0
Explain!

Every once in a while, Bry will host a 1.04 server for people to play on.
