<div class="IPBDescription">The Paradox of Vampire Slayer</div> After downloading this vampire slaying mod, I was expecting to be fighting against vampires. To my dissapointment, there were no vampires... There were a bunch of giant ant things that could run fast, but no vampires. After like 15 minutes, I saw this flying bat... The bat could have been a vampire, but to my dissapointment, it only came down and bit me. I did not turn in to one of the bats nor did I die. I waited for a few seconds and spawned in to a big citidel populated by a score of turrets. I couldnt press "b" and buy ammo, so I ran out and a few clips later I died to a flying marine in a gorillia suit. Eventually the "Marines" team lost because we couldn't spawn back again.

It seamed to me that my marine team was playing against "vampire" bots... After close consideration of the constant "lol"s and "owned"s and "gg"s of the other team, and a long explanition by some angry marine, I found out otherwise. It seems odd that a team of intelligent players would all tend to type the same way.

For a mod called "Vampire Slayer", I must admit that this game has nothing to do with vampires and screenshots on the website don't resemble the mod at all. My suggestion is to rename this mod to "Marines Vs. Ants and Bats".

I must admit that the graphics for this mod is great. The maps are located in space, but I can't imagine why ants would go to space...

    Wouldn't the <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showforum=10' target='_blank'>Off Topic Forum</a> be a better place for this? I don't think you're talking about Natural Selection. I don't think the word 'vampire' has been mentioned on this forum, well, ever.

    Natural Selection is all about space marines fighting aliens for controll of space stations and ships.

    Seeing that you know to go to the "Natural Selection Forum" to post about the "Vampire Slayers mod", that clearly means that you know that the mod you were playing is Natural Selection. Good try, but no cookie for you.

    Ohh I'm sorry, did I download the wrong mod?

    And is this mod better than the accalimed mod, <i>Vampire Slayer</i>?

    I see that to win as marines, you have to build more hives than the other team has offensive towers, or something, right?

    I believe you did.

    Natural Selection (NS) is MUCH better & more popular than any vampire slayer mod (see attatched image). It's steam's 4th most played mod, (After counter-strike, CS:CZ and Day of Defeat) and soon it's going to become an official Steam mod.

You have to kill all the hives and all the aliens to win. I refer you to the <a href='http://www.natural-selection.org/manual_version_2/Natural_Selection_Manual_Framed.html' target='_blank'>ALMIGHTY MANUAL</a> for more detailed information on Natural Selection and Natural Selection:Combat.

    How did you make your way to this board, if you thought you were playing Vampire Slayer?

    This is the funniest thing I have ever seen. I can't decide weather the part about trying to buy ammo or the part about the flying marine in a gorilla suit (a fade?) was funnier.

    Neither of them are as funny as the people who are actually taking him seriously.

    Dude, he didn't make a mistake. He is playing with you, and you're falling for it. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I prefer to believe in the good side of human nature. If Sub is fooling with me, so be it and shame on him. If he isn't and you are giving him unnecessary flak, shame on you. Either way, no shame on me for trying to help.

    Can we get some kind of forum rule about "No retarded bad joke threads that don't make sense", or something? It's getting really old really fast.

    Subversive Trooper, either learn how to post worthwhile content on this board, or find another web forum in which to annoy people.
