Ok, I'm obviously new to NS, and I can't seem to learn any of the maps, which is taking away from the strategic gameplay which I looked forward to when installing NS. They dont have an overhead view, and the Human radar just doesn't cut it. I've searched online for any help on learning them, but nothing. The levels are so complicated to me and I've walked around countless times ( yes, i'm new and I dont stick with my team. I'm use to CS gameplay <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> ) without any action. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to learn a map, or how long it will take for me to know the map up and down? Thanks a lot,

PsY

    open network game.
    join marines.
    look in command console to get overview.
    walk around as marine and keep an eye on the radar.

    then join alien and check out vents.
    some levels have 2-3 time complexer vents than you think.

    Simple. Don't play it like CS, its not CS. Take time and look around. Remember landmarks. Besides that, well, you're on your own <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Stay with the team, your bound to learn the map faster this way. You team should be more experieced than you, stick with them and they will take the quickest path to waypoints etc. The best way to learn the maps is just to play play play paly <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I learned them in no time at all, but thats because ive been gaming for about five so years, you get used to learning a map the first time you play it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> All it takes is time...
