<div class="IPBDescription">Which is better for ns</div>I know in the past it has been best to run in opengl for better performance and image quality, but I know the NS team has added new things like particle effects.  Did they make these with OpenGL in mind or D3D?  Basically which is the better choice?

    I believe it would be whatever performs better on your machine. From what you say, it sounds like OpenGL would be best.

    I got a GF4 and cable modem and all that new suped up computer stuff and Direct didn't work well for me with this mod.  I use it for every other mod but for NS I had problems with the screen cropping and the text was unreadable.  I switched to OpenGl and the game never looked better,I can see everything on my screen and read the text clearly.  Btw, my screen resolution is always at that 1047x754(Or whatever the numbers are).  Betcha can't tell I'm that computer literate  <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->
