    Why does EVERYONE assume that if something features ANYTHING from other games that it's automatically a rip-off?  Well, at least for once there isn't a mention of it being a Gloom ripoff.

    Hopefully they'll listen to you.  I doubt it though, most of them have nothing significant to do with their lives and will whine and rant about everything possible, and after they've done that they'll whine about having nothing to whine about.

    Here let me fix this:

    <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td><b>Quote</b> </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE"><!--QuoteEBegin-->2 words:

    StarCraft ripoff.

    Plain and simple, it's not original. Just look at the hud in commander mode, and COMPARE it to starcrafts terran hud. yeah it's the exact same thing. Even the classes are similair. It's over-hyped crap. The ONLY thing it's original to is the half-life engine. Sure, it's got good graphics and coding, but it's just like giving starcraft a facelift. The ONLY time I would try this mod is if I found out it had something actually original about it.  <b>Now excuse me while I go play Counter-Strike.</b><!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    What I love is how NS can simultaneously "completely rip off" Counter-strike, Tribes, Starcraft, Gloom and Aliens vs. Predator.  Nothing to get worked up over guys.

    i am starting to hate fourms (excluding this one) people are so dumb and dont think it pisses me off

    now i am not trying to defend this game (well maybe a hidden agenga) but these people need a swift kick in the ###

    they have not even played the thing and they are judging it......

    and what bugs me the most is they dont even think off the devlopers who works their tails off for FREE!!!

    i am just getting into c++ and it is HARD!!! i respect any programmer who can code a simple "hello world" box

    LOL Catpoker.  Its not that hard to do that.

    <!--c1--></span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td><b>Code Sample</b> </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"><!--ec1-->
    #include "ccc_ansi.cpp"
    //or if you like you can use #include <iostream.h>

    int main()
    {
    cout<<"Hello World!"<<endl;

    return EXIT_SUCCESS; //if you used ccc_ansi.cpp
    //return 0;            if you used iostream.h
    }
    <!--c2--></td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

    See? Not hard. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    EDIT: Oops forgot to put a on-topic post.

    [on-topic]If you think about it, we are also judging NS before it comes out.  The only difference between them and us is that we actully KNOW that NS is not a rip-off of anything.[/on-topic]

    People don't understand that it's not a copy of other games like Starcraft or Warcraft - it's a merging of genres.  

    Major props to the NS team.  They are pioneers in modding - nothing to this enormous scale has been done before.

    I'd like to think NS is more a ripoff of Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball.

    except without half naked women jumping around.

    C++ can be pretty complex too- just take a gander at the Half-Life source code. Keep in mind that that is professional coding. You never stop learning when you program. I know a lot- but Flayra knows more- but someone knows more than Flayra. =D

    EDIT
    Crap- I just saw how OT that was. Let me rectify:

    Come monday, when a newbie troll who has played a bit of NS comes across that post: Natural-Selection is a rip of NS, I mean they're identical. <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->
