If Flarya does not make NS2 very, very fast we are all doomed.

    This is actually the first time I hear about Tremulous, but at first glance they do appear to be very identical. I'm downloading it now to see it myself, but from what I read in the posts on the link in the initial post, then the gameplay is very different from NS.

    So like everyone else have already stated, I doubt NS and Flayra has anything to worry about.

    Meh, not really.
    Besides having "space-marines" fighting "aliens" they are not very much alike.
    Regarding gameplay: It does not rely on teamwork as heavily as NS does. Every player has his private resource pool, that he increases slaying enemies. Once a certain amount of kills have been taking place your team gets upgraded to another tier, making additional weapons and lifeforms available. There is absolutely no area control necessary because there is no thing such as RTs. The only thing that matters in terms of an RTS game is the strategic placement of your own base. Placing it out of reach of the tyranni is a common tactic (tyranni equals onos).

    Oh and trem is full of cheaters, because when the quake3 engine was released under open license everyone had access to the source code making it just way too easy to write detection proof hacks.

    It doesn't look too great. I can't comment on the gameplay since I haven't played it, but artistically even NS1 beats it by a long shot.

    Here's what i think:

    Meh. This game threatens NS? Besides the obvious similiarties in the way they look; they are almost completely different from each other.

    I'll take NS over this game any-day, but then again, i currently have 1800+ posts on the NS Forums...what response do you expect?

    I haven't seen the video but from the discriptions I have seen there is no concern on my end. I would need to see a game visually more impressive then NS with all the elements I enjoy. The one discription I see here indicates that they took CS, changed a team for aliens and added the option for one side to build a base. To me without the teamwork inherent there's not as much fun unless you enjoy the twitch aspect. Probably fun for some but most NS players are not likely to shift.

    I like that it runs in linux nicely, (ns was a pain to get going through wine) but other than that it felt like a beta version of co with the buildings mods. And co at its best isn't the jewel of NS gameplay either.

    Edit: I'm not totally gonna down it. Just like co, it can be amusing for a little while.

    Every month or so a post like this will come by. Flayra and the rest of the NS2 Team does not have anything to worry about. The only way that game will pick up any steam is by the entire "open source train" coming to get it.

    My 2 cents really is that NS has been rolling since October of 02 and it's still going strong. I know NS 2 will draw even more people once it's put out.

    NS is slowly slowly dieing as the comp scene detererates.

    Gloom (Quake 2 mod) has been out for quite a bit longer than NS. The makers of Gloom made Tremulous, IIRC. This thread has been brought up countless times someone new 'discovers' Gloom/Trem, and has been addressed each time. PLEASE use the Search function before starting a new thread like this.
