<div class="IPBDescription">Reuploaded with permission from Tom Schillinger (SushiFX)</div>With permission from Tom Schillinger (aka. <!--coloro:#008080--><span style="color:#008080"><!--/coloro-->SushiFX<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->) via email, it is my privilege to re-upload the <!--coloro:#008080--><span style="color:#008080"><!--/coloro-->Spec Ops V.2 Pack<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> (lost after <!--coloro:#FF8C00--><span style="color:#FF8C00"><!--/coloro-->NSArmslab.com<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> was shutdown years ago) that SushiFX managed to find in his backups.

They <!--coloro:#FF0000--><span style="color:#FF0000"><!--/coloro-->do not <!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->include the Spec Ops V2 player models due to them including textures from various sources (hacked player models.) Essentially, they were swat-styled characters. You can barely catch a glimpse of what they look like on Google Images.

So permission would have to be granted from the other sources (which doesn't seem to be happening any time soon).

Therefore, this pack includes the marine structures (<u><!--coloro:#008080--><span style="color:#008080"><!--/coloro-->Infantry Portal<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->,<!--coloro:#00FF00--><span style="color:#00FF00"><!--/coloro--> Phase Gate<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->, <!--coloro:#9ACD32--><span style="color:#9ACD32"><!--/coloro-->Turret Factory<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->, <!--coloro:#4169E1--><span style="color:#4169E1"><!--/coloro-->Resource Nozzle<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></u>) and <!--coloro:#708090--><span style="color:#708090"><!--/coloro-->Build sprites<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->.

The <!--coloro:#008080--><span style="color:#008080"><!--/coloro-->Spec Ops<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> Marine weapons are not included unfortunately. To give you an idea of what they were like, they were basically modern-era weapons, like an MP5.

Screenshots are included in the package.

I was looking for this pack for the LONGEST time, scouring old-archives of <!--coloro:#FF8C00--><span style="color:#FF8C00"><!--/coloro-->NSArmslab<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> via archive.org for the files but to no avail.

I'd like to thank <!--coloro:#4169E1--><span style="color:#4169E1"><!--/coloro-->Tom<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> (SushiFX) for allowing me access to these files for re-uploading.

====================
<!--coloro:#00FF00--><span style="color:#00FF00"><!--/coloro-->INSTRUCTIONS:<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->
====================
Extract to "<!--coloro:#FFFF00--><span style="color:#FFFF00"><!--/coloro-->half-life\ns<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->" folder

Also extract the autoexec.cfg to NS folder.

It includes the command: <!--coloro:#2E8B57--><span style="color:#2E8B57"><!--/coloro-->gl_max_size "512"<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> to give a slightly higher quality to the textures in-game.

Overwrite if/when prompted.

Make backups just in case servers you join enforce consistency. So far, none of the servers I've joined and what's left kick you for consistency on these files.

Original screenshots with polycount included from SushiFX.

Readme that SushiFX included is a bit <b>outdated</b> (Mentions <!--coloro:#FF8C00--><span style="color:#FF8C00"><!--/coloro-->NSArmslab<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> website, which is dead. Email is not the same for SushiFX.)

    That one is actually lying around in someone else's reupload thread.

    The one with the mediafire folders? I believe I saw it there.

    Here's the link to the thread:
