Hi, this is the NS: Territory Beta.
NS: Territory is a new NS mode, is a Combat based game (with levels) but with a very different concept. In NS:T you will face new gameplay modes (5 at the moment) where you will: protect RTs, ground control, manage the tech tree, and much more.
NS: Territory also suceeds where NS: Combat failed, it is a very good tutorial for NS new players. They will learn how important a RT is, how to control map choke points, techs trees and much more. Fun is in the top of the list.
NS:T accomplishs all that with a simple server side plugin. We also created a special plugin that supports "on the fly" RT placement in Combat maps. Server admins can erase the default RT layout and create their own, Mappers can create new Fun maps with this plugin, Clans can use it for training. Well, imagination is the limit here.
With the beta we want to:
-identify new bugs
-balance the game modes
-get new ideias for game modes
-balance rt placement
We have alot of objetives in our "to-do" list, here are some of them:
-Implement a in-game help using the NS help system.
-Create co_ter maps
-implement new modes
There is a waypoint script to orient marines during the game, just like a Commander from NS Classic. RTs take more damage to help balance with the increased dynamic gameplay. A lot of changes were made to support these new modes.
At the moment we have 3 mappers working in co_ter maps. We support everyone that wants to do a co_ter map (We will supply you with all the information you need).
NS:T also supports MvM and AvA and you can always create new fun maps based in one of the modes.
We created a site with all the information you want at: <b><a href='http://www.cc-br.com/ter' target='_blank'>http://www.cc-br.com/ter</a></b> . The NS:T forum will be on-line soon...
<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Territory is a Natural Selection Modification that implements a new game type. It's implemented as a Plugin and runs Server Side. It takes NS: Combat gameplay and changes a few rules.
Your objective is to control key positions of the map represented by Resource Nodes. No CC or Hive destroying, just controlling the nodes. There is actually more than one game mode for it, and some maps support more than one, which adds even more diversity to the game.
You can think of Territory as a step between Combat and NS Classic. You still have the experience/level system of Combat, but with a few strategy elements from Classic. You need to capture, build and hold key positions on the map and attack the enemy controlled positions.
Since you have several points to attack and defend, teamwork is a must. I think even those people that dislike Combat, because they think it's boring and repetitive, will like Territory since it's more tactical and dynamic at the same time. Territory could also help new players to have an easier transition from the simple frag-oriented Combat to the complex strategy-oriented Classic.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Also, I might host all the maps in one .zip file for you guys. If you can please PM me with the maps.
If this would be done well, some of the I&S forum topics could become reality, interesting.
Edit:
1- Move to general, was that neccesary? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
2- Guys, set up a mailinglist! i'd like info on this, like development, etc.
Let us know what's going on if we want to, would be a great help <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

i might be wrong about the marines since everyone on the server marinemongered in the games i play, so i didnt get a chance to play marines.

Bit annoying if people have to wait for their turn isn't it?
In this map, everybody can't try commanding.
this sounds...really cool
cant wait to try it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

This rules, this is how combat should've been
I can't wait till it's full release.
I like it...
Are any running it? What's the IP?
Not only do you have to download like 50 models using SLOW SLOW SLOW STEAM DOWNLOAD, BUT THE MVM MAP DOESN'T EVEN WORK.
co_ter_wpath whatever needs to be removed from server NOW and enable votemap PLEASE.
Yes, I'm talking to you Devs!
Certain people have concepts drawn out that could be started right away if you gave us the entities.
Note that NS:T is not made by us, the NS team (which is usually refered as devs), so we can't help you on this.

any chance of combat ever being like this? no offence but if i want to go beat on stuff id rather play dmc or hl2dm rather then the current form of combat

I don´t really see a reason for a votemap and we don´t want to install other plugins, they may interfere with co_ter. We are trying to kill bugs right now...
