<div class="IPBDescription">what's up there</div> Hey all,
Well I see that alot of people are downloading and playing NS, it's even a new division in cal (www.caleague.com). But I also heard that it's really laggy and that the teams were unfair. So I came here to ask if it's worth downloading or not? Thanks for any replies... Lates...

For the unfair teams, I dont really think they are. The only «problem» is that there is no «auto-balance» so lots of people go marines since they are simpler. If the teams stay equal, you should have a good time. Also depends of your teammate.
I strongly suggest you read the manual and the forums to learn as many things as possible. Its not a game like CS, you REALLY need to work in team, but you'll figure all those things out while playing.
Have fun !
GO SILVER FOX!!!
hehe.... deliverance is here.

<ul>
<li>fade armor, dammage, speed, and rate of fire all improved.
<li>alien offence chamber HP boosted, cost lowered, build time lowered
<li>turret dammage reduced, cost increased, requires turret factory to operate
<li>lowered seige dammage
<li>lowered GL dammage
<li>increased research time for HA
<li>increased cost for HA
<li>increased cost of HMG and lowered dammage
</ul>
Your telling me the marines are STILL owerpowered? man, those aliens must be pretty wimpy...
This is not to say that ALIENS can't win, just that they are the underdogs going in.

i used to be a huge cs fan , but after playing NS , i see how cs is just the same drivel with no real depth ;p
NS however, has some unique gameplay with tons of depth, it is really well done. GJ NS team , keep it coming ;p

Lol.... ummmm... thanks?
I wasn't expecting so many replies, and this soon. Well I'm downloading the game now and am at 10% so I'll probably start playing tomorrow...
If it's as good as you guys say it is I think I'm gonna have a blast. And if it's better than CS (Which is awesome) well then I will take my hat off and salute the creators... lol <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Well Later guys... Thanks for the replies... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
but just to clarify one thing, DOD always was my favorite because in my opinion it requires way more team play than CS.
Now since NS is out it took the first place, cause team play wise it is the top under the half-life mods <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
U should not compare NS to CS, but rather to DOD <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

Long answer: **obscenity** yes

The marines will not always have an advantage..... If they run out of ammo they either have to reload (which takes time they DON'T have) or they have to switch weapons or they pull out a knife and hope that alien does not have backup.
I played 4 games since this new patch. And every single game we Kharaa won. Two of us Fades destoryed the main marine base and a mini base and all marines spawning and teleporting. All with just 1 D chamber near and regen and cloaking.
Also they are not the "underdogs" as you say. If a good team of aliens was made just before the starting "bell" a good skulk rush can destroy any marine team in seconds.
My shortest match: 25 sec
My longest match: 4 hours
Note: I've only played Marines about 5 times since the 31st and I've been commander twice. (In all of my marine games, I've only won one and lost two and the server crashed on the other three)
