if we could somehow port the maps and other assets over, i think this would be a good idea.
rather than "new" people who buy the game having to buy half-life to play the original, it all comes in one rather tidy package.
there are definitely people out there who go for the legacy stuff(i know because the likelihood of me being the only one is really slim), and the mod that spawned an indie would be something of interest for them.

Well i think in the old ns the lerk never bit it shot spikes.
I know that sentiment, you might be better off not playing NS2 for a while. I haven't for months now and it's done wonders for my mood. I suppose many folks, including me, are not cut out for beta-testing. I'll wait for the finished product before spending any decent amount of time playing it.
Now on to the topic at hand, it isn't so much that NS2 doesn't have things NS1 has, but rather that it has a lot more crap (censoring s.hit? really?) attached to it that doesn't do anything to improve the gameplay-mechanic, in fact worsens it. However it leaves us with the simple task of just stripping NS2 of that stuff. I intend to try out some of that in my latest version (ea. removing MACs\removing sprint\increasing jump-height\increasing skulk-speed et cetera).
I agree with you both. I think i will indeed take a break. Ill check on this thread to see if NS1 is made pertty =) but as for NS2 ill see you all next year around this time in the general chat beta testing =)
