<div class="IPBDescription">Which is the best ns</div> hi all.

BAsically which NS do you prefer

NS 2.0 or 3.0
- i havent tried the new NS yet, ive been away from the scene for a while

Persoanly i think the NS team have done a CS and made the game crap. 2.0 was class, people loved it, i stoppped playing CS to play NS as it was soo much etter and more fun than CS. the only prob with NS 2.0 was that marines had a big advantage over skulks at the start of game imo so i fort they neede to make skulk more powerful

when 2.0 came out, ppl loved the changes, thought they were great - goin on about all the changes on the in game communication.

now the game looks terrible and feels terrible, everyone plays combat and the game doesnt have the same fun, commmunity feel as it once did - mostly due to steam

bring out 2.0 again!

what do you think was the best NS

p.s. admins, i know this sems a bad post, but its just my opinion!

    Yeah, this'll probably get locked as the temprature rises..

    2.0 was great. 3.0 in current beta is just wrong.

    I never got to play much of the 2.0 version, so, I must say that I enjoy 3.0 full-heartedly!

    I prefer 3.0. Probably because when I fire on a skulk or a Lerk I don't feel a waste of bullets in bugged hitboxes (at least that's what I felt when I played as marine the first time). I got more fun on 2.0 than on 1.0x, and now I even get more fun on 3.0.

    Looking back 2.0 definatly had a better feel about it, all the great games I remember have been in that version, now we have ns maps that are all bright and feel like arenas, hera and bast were my favourites but have since had their atmosphere and epic feeling wiped out (especially the new bast).

    I have forgotten co exists in all honesty so I'm not to fussed about that, just filter the servers. But yeah, 2.0 all the way. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    although I think 3.0 -is- a small step backwards I wouldn't go as far as saying NS pulled a CS.
    The game is much more polished right now, it's just lacking some of the atmosphere the older versions had.

    Too bad 'combat' happened though. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    imo combat divided the NS community

    With 2.0 - dunno about you guys but i used to have my server favourites, where youd go on, see some familiar faces and stay on the game maybe all night ! now the game just lacks any fun like that, the maps feel too big for any sort of 'fun' team work as your all so spread out - liek the other dued said also, the maps are darker and dont seem as nice

    i hope in a new NS they will make it more like 2.0 anywa

    and i not to whine but i have stopped playing as the game just doesnt appeal as fun anymore, just boring

    Try not to get this locked by turning it into a who quit and why thread i'd say.

    2.01 was the best version IMHO, 1.04 was the most fun.

    2.01 was the most balance out of the all the versions, it was awesome. 1.04 aliens was just a challenge to stop the marines rushes.

    3.0 = in testing still.

    3.0 is good, combat is good, ns is good, everything is good please stop complaining, ns is evolving as much as it is is progressing just go with it.
  • Bo_SelectaBo_Selecta Join Date: 2002-11-19 Member: 9374Members, Constellation
    stop complaining?
    praise is useless and empty, -feedback- is useful.
    It makes sense if you think about it for a moment.

    Commanding is easiest and most fun in the current build IMO
    Skulking was best in 1.04
    Fades are fun in 1.04, but easier 2+
    Onos was HILARIOUS end-game weapon in ns1, now it's HMG fodder
    Gorge was a no-go in 1.04, as if you did badly you were blamed far more than the commander. In ns 3, it's any gorge for himself. (EVEN if he bulids SC first.)
    Lerk has changed so much in so many builds it's hard to say. It's a devil to play now as the hitbox is fixed, so skills are needed to fly well to conserver energy and avoid bullets.

    Overal gameplay was best in 2, as has been said, nice feel to it.

    Teamwork is promoted best in new version, (squads, experience-sharing training in CO, etc) so that's what matters most.

    2.0 classic was alot more fun than 3.0, but 3.0 is all about balance balance balance now. I think the worst thing they did to the game was "fix" the hitboxes when they were fine before.

    Mediocre Fades in 2.01 were as impossible to stop as a good HMG/JP rush in 1.04...
    In 3.0 too much reliance on alien RT's causes alien RT's to be worth too much and if destroyed early can usually spell D-O-O-M for aliens..

    Hopefully (since we both PT) we can work on these issues and make sure the next release is more fun, more atmospheric and more balanced...

    i miss fade acid rocket and lerk spikes. those were my 2 favourite weapons in the whole game. now lerk spikes is completely gone. i do like the new lerk flight though. it's exactly what i asked for. fade acid rocket was my favourite ever thing though. i used to massacre dozens of marines with it. i was an ustoppable killing machine. i basically never used swipe. now i never use acid rocket coz it was nerfed so much it's just too frustrating to use.

    There is no going back. When 2.0 came out, people whined for 1.04 again. When 3.0 came out, people whine for 2.0. Understand here and now, these changes are done so that at some point, NS will be the best it can be. You or I may not agree with what is done, but people out there like Flayra's game, and whining will do nothing. If you simply calm down and play the game, often that is the best way to enjoy it. Don't worry about the little glitches, don't worry about the imbalances....just have fun. You'll either get used to it, learn to enjoy it...or leave.

    How would you if 3.0 sux or not?.. How can you judge something you have not played?

    Probably 2.01 was the best version, although I must admit only after the first month or two after 2.01 came out... towards the end of 2.01, it got REALLY boring... I remember not being able to even play a CAL match without rolling my eyes
