Been reading the posts for the last few weeks and playing for a month. I have been active in the steam forums for a while and one thing I notice right away is the lack of flaming; how refreshing.
Most of my play has been on CO, still learning maps and play mostly as rine. I am impressed with the nice people that play, and the quality of the game.

btw nice avatar, love the shirringon(or however u spell it)
hi Im James, im from San Diego i learned this game from some talk on IRC, and friends. Its a good game to play, its like a rpg/stradegy game so i like it. i have been playing this game for a long time. i got this server i wanted to fill up i dont know if im supposed to post these, or advertise so ill put it up anyways, 69.56.183.36:27015 <---- server is in Dallas
i'd say the rpg element only applies to combat, and it's only a basic exp/level up engine. and combat is irrelevent <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> ns_ > co_ forever.
Hi, i'm Inventive Software (real name Jethro). I play NS on a LAN and it rocks! I've still got trouble installing Steam, as I don't have an internet connection on the NS computer. I've tried just about everything. I love NS 2 because it's easy to use, it's different from other Half-Life mods that I've played, and it's free! Kudos to the NS team!
hey all, im new to NS but not by any means new to HL, i play dod for cal-i team TAU formally dgf and have played hl sinces its release, oh so long ago. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> names Sean Burns i reside in clifton park, new york ;D i heard about NS when it came out from some clanmates a while ago, but my high school friends was telling me about the co_ maps and now im hooked <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
howdy. I'm a halflife noob, and with DoD too much for my puny RAM and CS getting boring after about an hour, I started up on NS. I just love it and it really does recall the alien movies, much as that bothers the guy who wrote the FAQ. You may have noticed me randomly wandering pubs trying to learn the maps.
If anyone wondered why I get so utterly owned by skulks, it's because for years I've played RTCW, quite possibly the slowest moving game of all time. I can't be a skulk for more than 5 minutes without getting dizzy. I'm not even kidding.
ps - I'm a big Steam fan by the way
pps - how come no one plays the soccer mod? That's freaking genius right there.
Hey all. I used to play NS before NS Combat was introduced; didn't really get into it. Totally addicted to it now. I must say, NS has some of the nicest textures I've seen in any HL mod.
Name is Tom Ross, I'm from a town north of Toronto, Ontario.
Right now, besides NS, I'm enjoying Day of Defeat, Sven, Galactic Civilization, Star Chamber, and Homm3. Once in awhile I play U2XMP when I can find a good server, which is rare these days.
I am from the one, and the only, Texas... just about as south as possible...
I heard about NS from both PC Gamer Magazine, and also a friend of mine, and let me add something: the combat and tactics, as well as the fun in this game are stunning and AMAZING! I cant stop the joy I feel when I get to log on, but I need a new CD Key so I'll be out of the loop for some time... GOD DAMN! *cough*
Yo wassup... n2m here... yeah im new to NS but not to HL based mods... i play 90% fps HL mods... stuck on this one tho... just too good to pass up.... im addicted... but ehh CS calls... so does cal... you will usually find me rine.. but i will go whatever depending on whats called for... gimmie a shottie and your done... thats all i have to say.. learned about this.. from STEAM :-X yeah.. i check up on the STEAM stats to figure out which game i want to start up and play... there are just a few bugs i gotta work out tho..
hello... my name is Larry (call me matt) and im from Tulsa Oklahoma, im another CS convert!! yay... and as i type this.. im downloading (danm first version that i dled wasnt in the steam library!!!) im excited to beable to play such a great game (from what ive heard) I found out about this game by looking up help for a problem(s) i had with cs.. and found a post about mods and stuff... and well here i am! cant wait to play with yall. Cya there!!!! <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Hello, My name is Suth, but I often play under the name of Ghost, which used to be my name when I played before 2.0, needless to say, im a little rusty, I like being marine, but skulks are good too, I hate blinking fades that are every where and being eaten by onos.
I'm wondering if I can still use custom sprays in NS.
I've played a few games of NS with the help of TheFLC who introduced me to which first impressions is a very polished mod.
I used to play Front Line Force, but have been out of touch for a little while and I'm trying to get back into it all.
The strategy of it all really appeals although I'm shite at the moment! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
So if anyone sees me on a server, I promise I'm trying to pick it up as quick as I can! For example, I was told after a match by my mentor that I was trying to kill a hive with a welder. Oops! Well at the time it looked like a gun! <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Hey, I'm Talamor. I've been playing PC games for probably around four years, and have been console gaming long before that. I have an NES, SNES, GBA SP, N64, GC, and XBox, but i mainly just play xbox as far as console games go, but a little GC every now and then is refreshing. I got Half-Life as soon as i found out Counter-Strike was a mod for it (I had heard great things about the PC version because of the somewhat distant release for XBox) So I got HL and downloaded Counter-Strike and Day of Defeat and saw NS v 2.0 on the front page of fileplanet/gamespy (it had aparently just been released) i read up on it, it sounded cool, so i downloaded it. It would start up the mod but i could never connect to a server. I uninstalled it. Then after steam came out i thought, hey, what about that cool sounding mod i read about awhile ago? so i downloaded what i thought i needed, 3.0 beta 1, 3.0 beta 4 and 3.0 beta 4a. I started up NS once it was done DLing and installing, but it couldn't find any NS servers! so i have yet to play the game, but who knows. i probably just made some stupid mistake and loaded them in the wrong order. oh well, i'll get it going sooner or later
If you are too lazy to read all that, i'll sum it up for you. I saw ns, thought it was cool, wouldn't work, uninstalled it. Then steam comes out a few months later, i think of ns, install it, steam can't find any servers,, and i have yet to play a game of ns

A) Welcome to the forums.. B) Head over to tech support. I'd imagine 1 or 2 people have had the same issues getting up and running..
My name is Tom. I am from Poland. I think i did learn about NS in one of Tychos rants on Penny-Arcade long time ago, always wanted to play it, but my old system and net-connection prevented it. til now. :)) Since a couple of months its not more the case, and I try hard to get rid of my newbism (and get some sleep too, this game is addicting ;) ).
Hi all, I used to play NS when it first came out but I have had probs with my internet and I havent played it in a few months now. Now I am back I am starting to get addicted to it already.
the last months i havent much time for playing ns, but now i have more time <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
New to this forum, not so very new to NS. ^_^ I've been watching over my boyfriend's shoulder since last year and started playing since February, on and off and more on these recent weeks.
I'm from the good ol' USA, in a good ol' suburb near Chicago.
and I hope to draw some more NS related stuff, especially the weaponry, more often.
Eyya, nice forum. I've been playing various types of games for all my life, on Sony and PC, and few of them were quite legendary. One of them is Alien vs. Predator 2, which i played a lot with my friend on various LAN's... One day i found Natural Selection file in one cd from PC magazine with picture attached, and on it was some marine wearing dark green armor which really draw my attention <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> and this reminded me of AVP 2 and my favorite mp game: Counter-Strike. But then i did not have an internet so there was nothin i could do, and my HL version was wrong. Untill now.... I have some troubles trying to make NS working, but in time i will eventually succeed.... and start firing enormous amounts of bullets over the aliens. Just kidding, for most commaders would kill me personnaly, and people knows me of going berserk... Yup, Serbia is my place, new cable internet providers showing up, providing the nice play opportunities. See ya all... <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Sup. I just played my first NS game a few minutes ago. seems like NS is a very good, well thought out game. i first heard about the game through the CS forums, many people would mention it being a good hl mod, so i came over to the site and read up about it. it sounded fun so i downloaded it and now im very confused but after a week or so it should all fall into place. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
well hi everyone, my name's Steve i live in a small town in central wisconsin. I have gamed since i was 4. I have a nes, super-nes nintendo 64, PS2, virtual boy, game boy, gameboy pocket, gameboy color, gameboy sp. I just started playing CS recently, and i was looking through the forums at steampowered.com when i found a sticky post of good and bad hl mods, this 1 was on the list, and i checked it out, and was happy to find that some1 made this kind of game for HL. I was instantly reminded of Savage (a game with the same blend of rts and shooter, unfortunantly, the shooter part of savage wasn't great imho) so i'm in the process of downloading right now.
Well, i hope to see u all on a ns server soon, and if u see me, take it easy on me, remember, noobs have feelings too. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
