<div class="IPBDescription">Which is the most curent!!!!</div> OK,
I'm sure i wouldn't be considered a new player but some old noobs might find this really confusing (I do). I realize it must be uber-hard to keep up with the demands of programming such a freakin' sweet full-conversion mod, but im confuzed as hell. Which is the most current NS version?? I know 3.0.1 just came out and I know thats for servers only so I'm not worried about that, but is beta 5 or 3.0 better??? I've even heard of people talking about beta 6!? Why cant you just patch the bloody thing instead of making me download a 1 hour package ever time you incorporate something new!! (I realize you did kind of "patch" with beta 4 and that really worked well)
HELP!!!!

the 3.0 Betas (oft refered to as beta 4, beta 5, beta 6) were just that BETA. The offical version was actualy still version 2 at that time.
Te reason there is no patch is b/c a patch would be pointelss.
There are multiple new maps, most maps have been changed, new sounds, new animations etc etc etc.
basicaly the patch and the full verion would be nearly the same size.
and beta 6 was a clossed beta test.
All are Client and Serverside except (serverside)

how do you explain the 3 years of development of NS then?
and the Tail From The Front Line thread?
:: holds a cat-pack close to his body ::
If you see on his post, the "betas" were just an alias for different patches of 3.0. new versions seldom come out for clientside stuff, if not.. then 2 or 3 month gaps. i wouldnt be worried about big download times or install times, i'd be worried about getting up to date about whats changed so you can pwn the newbs faster. OMG COMM DROP SHIRTGUNS.
:o
Although I am not extinct but technically I'm not a true dinosaur, more of a hazy stoned caveman that can't remember if he is wearing a lion cloth.
