Natural Selection "is" The Best Game!

Nothing gets me happier than ns, Going out there owing, Even if you arent owing Its still fun. Ns is complete with Strategic ways to win.. Unlike some games such as Cs, Cs does have some "Team" work involved But nothing like Natural Selection. i prefer ns istead of co.. I don't like Being in the command chair I' am more like a feild commander it's hard to get used to but a lil practice will help.

    Welcome.

    "IS"?

    Don't get the "is", probably missing something obvious here.... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I think it used to be the best game. Late 1.04 and early 2.0 were its Glory days in my opinion. Many new clans popping up, smaller community, times were good.

    I don't think 3.0 sucks because obviously I still play, but I just don't get the same "buzz" from NS I used to. No doubt it being a great game, just not the best <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    It might be because you've played it for so long. I know the feeling.

    Try to refrain from being 'field commander' too much, it annoys the real comm. Besides that, welcome, and get yourself a plushie gorge <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    When ns is at its best (epic games where both teams fiercely fight together), it owns every game out there.

    When ns is at its worst (guys who hump the armory when the base is under attack, an alien team of res ****), I'd rather play pong.

    On the server which I usually play (my clan one) one of the clan members which has full admin powers usually takes the role of field commander. I like it then because he will usually spearhead an attack and if anyone doesn't cooperate they get the boot.

    I feel 1.03 was the best version... This is just an illusion though, if I go back and look at it and play it is quite awful compared to ns 3.0 but I still have that memory of starting to play NS for hours on end and the fun it was.

    It's just a mirage, you do get tired of games after you play them for a while and it's very easy getting attached to the way things used to be if you had good memories(it's also surprisingly easy to "forget" all the glaring flaws....)

    I know this is going slightly off topic, but I think that having "field commanders" is useful. Often you send a load of people off to a hive and they go in dribs and drabs, if you've got someone "on the ground" who can lead people and see whats going on propperly (the commander view isn't perfect) it can seriously help. Obviously the "field commander" should be some experienced player, not a n00b shouting stupid things and asking for ha the whole time... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

  • Umbraed_MonkeyUmbraed_Monkey Join Date: 2002-11-25 Member: 9922Members
    bah.

    Of course there are exceptions when you look at the extremes. But in general, "field comms" are an annoyance. The worst scenario is where they disagree with the real comm, and effectively destroy whatever cohesion the marine team had. If they comm and field comm works together, great. But if weve got one of 'em I-am-always-right field comms that go against the comm, it just makes the game unenjoyable to the whole team.

    the only bad thing about 3.0 is my favorite server plays more combat maps than regular ns <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Without a doubt NS has given me the greatest gaming moments and the most fun of any game ever, but I’m having a long break at the moment as I played it solidly for about a year after it came out.

    No other game before or since has provided the same depth, atmosphere and teamplay. The trouble is it’s spoilt me by raising the bar so high in my eyes few other games satisfy me for very long. I doubt I’ll get the same enjoyment from a game for a long time, especially as Flayra’s next project sounds like it’s years away.

    Welcome to the forums, glad to have another NS-Fanatic join us.

    On another note...

    <span style='color:orange'>Holy mother of Pearl, there were cookies in here?!?!?</span>
  • Browser_ICEBrowser_ICE Join Date: 2002-11-04 Member: 6944Members
    NS is currently the game I play the most. I play about 6-10 hours per week.

    It is also the first game I found with the most teamplay present. All other games I played that are teamplay based were full of rambos and teams-of-ones.

    It is also the game that inspires me the most for artworks. It is NS that brought me into working on my first serious movie project.

    NS brought me to HL. All other HL Mods back then, didn't interest me at all.

    What? But I thought the cookie stash was down the hall to the left, then you take <i>another</i> left and press the tile on the righ..

    ..oh.. erm. Nevermind, nothing.

    EDIT:: Yes, I am the keeper of the cookies.

    I'm afraid I'm gonna have to agree with CWAG. It's lost its flair a bit but that could be just us because we've been here for around who knows how long <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    But nonetheless, welcome to the forums, have a great time, and keep away from the trolls, they like throwing rocks at people but we ignore them anyways. Plus the admins usually get their warnings right to them and later they get destr.....err banned.

    BTW, CWAG, I grant you <b>touching</b> rights to Ha.ze, have fun <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
