<div class="IPBDescription">Gaming Goodness</div> Talk about spreading the word! Ever heard of the slashdot effect? Good thing the story only links to PHL, or the NS front page would prolly be a simple "ERROR 500" for a bit. Hope the website is running on a good connection and server, cuz this should cause a nice spike in traffic. Nevertheless, this will definately help get the word out to <i>many</i> people. NS really deserves the attention.

I suggest any of you veterans from around here post a bit in the comments. This is a big opportunity to tell a LOT of ppl just how cool NS is. In particular, so far it doesn't look like anyone's posted a very good description of NS, other than "think CS + Starcraft." I think it would be cool if Flayra, or another member of the dev team posted. A little while ago, slashdot had a story about the DoomIII leak, and The Man himself, Mr. Carmack (the father of the 3d shooter), posted there. Not that it really means anything, but the slashdot crowd kinna appreciates the personnal attention.

P.S. This being my first forum post, lemme just say the NS pwns me. Good job devs.

    I am downloading it right now because of the vibrant review I read on /. If this is even half as good as I've heard, it'll probably be my new addiction. See you all on the battlefield. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Definately prepare for addiction. I went out and bought Half Life specifically for this game just so I could play with my clan.
