NS2

wow, when i first started playing Natural Selection based off of the Half-Life engine i was suprised by the mod itself. Not by the role you play in the game but the desire to play more than usual. I loved the characters you were allowed to chose (alien side) and I loved being able to play the role as a marine. my only real question as of the new NS2 is, will there be any "Dramatic" changes to the way you get skill points and the way you will be able to level up on your character. I have played many mods in the past where the first mod was excellent but the 2nd series was just horrible, not by the game itself but the dramtic changes involved in the game. i.e. The Digital Paintball game, everyone used to play that game all the time, it was fun and entertaining, but this new mod they came out with people hardly play it due to the fact that it is too realistic. So as in regards to NS2, will there be any dramtic changes involved. Say for instance, you are a marine and an allien is chasing you and you deciede ok, lets jump off this 2nd story bridge onto the first one. so you jump, land but brake your leg so then you would be able to run away properly, will the game be based off of this?

    NS:source would be basically the same as the original NS. NS2 will have a bunch of changes but I doubt that it will be that realistic.

    (By the way, what's the progress on NS:source?)

    they're not making it.

    they decided to make NS2 instead of NS:source, which would be heaps better anyways....

    Sounds to me like you've never reallly played ns, but only the combat mode, which half of the community would rather see gone <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />
    I suggest you try joining a server that runs a ns_map to experience the "real thing" <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/marine.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::marine::" border="0" alt="marine.gif" />

    i would hope they put an upgrade for that dreaded pistol...yeah it was powerful but imagine that thing upgraded. jeez i hope they add some new stuff, but nothing stupid. did anybody ever play those extra level servers?? they should invest into that because you hit the highest level in about 10 minutes if im playing. some people take forever, other than that im hoping to see a beta released soon.

    Months and months and months ago. NS:S was never really going to happen.

    On this subject, has their been word of a combat mode for NS2? I liked the idea of a capture point type of combat discussed in another thread.

    well then they should call it Halo 4....a capture point would probably be a good idea but why bother when people just rush past you and attack spawning marines or aliens...would make no sense. unless a barier was there to protect it then yea, possibly. or ever have like a deathmatch mode, where marines vs. aliens and last team standing wins that round.
