Alert to Frontiersmen. Alert to Frontiersmen.
After a journey of over a year, after many course adjustments and the judicious use of fuel, we approach station NatSel. Repeat: prepare to dock with NatSel.
The Kharaa presence has been confirmed onboard. Before we lost our readings, sensors showed multiple forms moving at incredible speed through the ventilation shafts and maintenance tubes. Expect immediate and intense conflict the moment you deploy.
Control the resources. Defend your base. Listen to your commander. Be prepared to face more and more powerful alien foes. Learn their many forms and abilities, and how to counter them. Find the heart of the Kharaa threat, and eradicate it. The battle begins now. Its outcome rests in your hands.
Luck and victory to us all.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Well, so NS is now 2 years old, but no single news on the mainpage about the 2nd anniversary of NS?! Why is that, I mean it's an important day in the evolution of Natural Selection.

Impatient? I was saying that it would have been nice to update the front page with a post briefly talking about the 2nd anniversary of NS, I wasn't asking for news about the next update.

obuh, the server move makes frontpage updates relatively impractical right now.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Consider that a 5,000 word essay on how much I love NS. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I really get nervous when I see that! That model is much better than the current one (but I think the one on the pic is older than the current one am I right?)
I've been playing this game for two years?
Surely you lie.
Set up some siege turrets to shoot down the WoL through the wall without line of sight! BEFORE THEY GET THE SECOND HIVE!

UBER WELDERS. I SALUTE YOU.
seriously, though. shouldn't the welder be more powerful than a knife? or maybe i'm getting too maniacal.
ANYWAYS.
it seems like i've been playing for longer. X_x even though i never did any pre-1.0 stuff....
Dood all the marine and alien buildings were HYOOJ. LIKE ENORMOUS LIKE OMG I CAN'T JUMP OVER IT, and you used to be able to clip into buildings as a skulk, and you could clump them all in a little tiny wad as the com.
I remember when ns_caged's marine start had a mini-elevator to the com chair, and you would always relocate to Central Shipping, with those two little alcoves and the vent everyone stuck twentybillion mines on, and the weldable wall to the hidden RT. Man remember when ns_nothing had three res nodes in the vicinity of Cargo, and Powersilo meant you were doomed.
MARINES ARE INVINCIBLE WHEN DUCKING.
Oh yeah and there wasn't marine blood until like 2.0 I think. You had practically no idea if you bit the marine or not.
We need to have some kind of party...

For like 2 minutes, then seing people finally eject a dude, the guy hops in and drops 5 CC's and leaves
Or when spectators could join in games and run around, blocking doorways and trapping marines in spawn
Or r_drawviewmodel
or <exploit>
You'd madly type /stuck while the marines unloaded into your sorry behind.
Remember the marines getting outside the map at marine start on nancy?
And let us all NEVER forget, the single greatest weapon OF ALL TIME...
dun-dun-dun...
BABBLERS!
Adrenaline gorge in a vent above a marine base spewing out babblers like no tomorrow... man... I really do miss that!
Happy b day en ess!
Happy Birthday NS.

This made me laugh.
Thank you devs for the great game.
mines killed other mines as well. I used to run into base and kill all of the 10+ mines and then team_say "go for base! no mines!" =)
