The first time that u entered a natural-selection game what was going on and what were u thinking.
my first game i was trying to get into the Comm Chair for about 10 minutes, then i asked "dude WTH why cant i get into this chair" then he said "This is combat" so Basically i was walking around co_core wondering if il ever get a kill then i see an onos and i run like hell but ofcourse he eats me.

Walking around like in a normal FPS (Was comming from DOD), Saw some darkfigure fall from nowhere in my face as an ugly skulk and biting me... Made me jump so far off my chair there is still a hole on the ceiling.
My first impression with an Onos had to be the most memorable impression for me. The Marines were suffering crippling losses, though we still had most of our tech due to our ability to hold our only Resource node at our base. Fades were keeping pressure on us, slaughtering anyone who dared move out of our only holding. Lerk Spores also made it hard to hold our bearings, but the real trouble didn't start until two lumbering Rhinoceri thundered down the hall towards us. Our machine guns thundered back, but all the ammunition in the world could not put a dent in these beast. Fleeing was a practice in futility, as it seems the instant our back turned to our foes we would have forfeitted our lives. One by one soldiers fell, and hundreds of res invested in structures were shread to fragments. Shortly after, we all congradulated each other on a game well played. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Don't even get me started on the first onos.
we continued moving on (abiet more carefully) continuing down teh hall with 3 guys infront I was in the middle and the other guy was at the back, two chomps was all it took and the guy at the back was dead. It seemed I was the only one who noticed I quickly turned around to look back jsut as I turn around all I see if a skulk leaping at em not 3 inches from my face, I died simple as that , the 3 other guys were ambushed by 3 skulks 2 from the back adn one from teh front when there backs were turned. deffinately something you don't see everyday.
for the reasons everyone knows <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
of course i had my friend telling me how to play
that was back in the 1.0 days where the beginning strat was a TF and two turrets
And that's about all I remember. I basically felt good because no one flamed or bashed me, I felt accepted to join into the ritual, as long as I understood that the Gorge was some kind of sacred creature that I couldn't become. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Then when i played online the first game went for 1.5 hours and had 32 players with the aliens having 2 hives and a whole bunch of jetpackers flying around in viaduct firing grenades everywhere with constant action 400 ping and an fps low enough for me to count each frame, and from that day forth i decided cs was lame and i hated it.
And then i like the system of the game and a war between marine and aliens.
However, my first game of ns was on 1.xx version, i dont have good memories from back then, but i was alien gorge and build some chambers.
But the game wasnt serious because no one know how to do..
The map was Nancy and I really liked it. Its my favorite map until today.
I was confused, amazed and had no damn clue what to do.
Then the onos came.
same here
It was ns_nothing next, and this time we had a comm who knew what he was doing. He was actually pretty damn good at that. Heck, I bet he's one of the better comms out there today, but it's so long ago I don't remember his name. Anyhoo, I met up with another guy from these forums on that server (Llama something or other was his name, I don't remember it fully) and since we had some idea of what to do, we stuck together the whole time. That was fun, and a good way to start off my NS career.
Everything was very impressive, but my entire Marine team was terrified of leaving the Bridge because there were weird noises and sudden death outside. I was excited to finally be playing, but I so scared - terrified - of what was out in those dark corridors that we all stayed behind the laser tripwires of the original mines.
That fear, that apprehension that hangs in the air down every dimly-lit hallway is still what makes NS such a great game. There's no multiplayer game out there that's scarier. It was true the first week the game was out and it's true now.
