Thanks.
Seems to take half the time to kill RTs in the first game.
He sounds like a film/animation teacher I know :O.
Thanks!
Looking around <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cjahCIEZo4" target="_blank">here's</a> a match that looks like it shows a pretty good game.
From memory <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4p8p_ZC9qc" target="_blank">here's</a> a round I played that turns into a pretty intense late game stalemate because both teams were making mistakes.

There's a tons of them in ENSL site.
If there's interest for it now, I can probably give it a try and see if people find it interesting or meaningful.

Sounds sexy. I want.

I'd love to hear your insights, especially if they had some NS2 flavour. If they're anything as interesting as your posts, I'm sure they'd be quality.
The NS1 shotgun feels like a machinegun compared to the NS2 one. I have to admit though that I like the NS2 one more. Slower rate of fire makes me also think that it has higher learning curve but might be just me.
I partly agree with you zeikko, it does fit ns2 gameplay because its slower but each shot still matters just as much as the ns1 did. I think ns1 was much more fun to use but it would be way to powerful for ns2 (to many shotguns and slower game).
I'm trying to find some NS1 shoutcasted videos on demand of tournaments/clan matches to get some perspective on the game I missed out on and see how it compares to NS2.
I found some videos uploaded by Waremonger, does anyone know anywhere else to look?<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
As you found, I (Waremonger on YT) had uploaded a bunch of more recent NS1 (v3.x) clan matches. I had intended to do many more of them but that was in the days of the 10 minute limitation on YouTube so it was getting very frustrating to edit them into multiple 10 minute segments. When recording them I tried to get viewpoints of the players who were making the most impact at that time, so you get a whole lot of footage of Mustang dominating as a fade :-). What I also wanted to do was show some footage of NS 1 v1.4 and NS 1 v2.0 matches with HAM and other clans that dominated in the early days. IIRC, I don't think HAM ever lost a match in the NS 1.4 days and there were some crazy talented people in that clan. Anyway, I was never able to record them because all the matches that I found were played with an old anti-cheat program called Cheating Death and in order to play back the matches you had to have the exact version installed that was used when the match was played. Unfortunately, I was unable to find the old CD versions that were used way back when. I found an archive that someone had created of old CD versions, but they didn't go back far enough... I would still love to do that if anyone had the correct versions of Cheating Death.
Also, I didn't commentate on them as I prefer to just watch the matches w/o commentary but I guess that's a personal preference.
Also, I should be getting some fresh hardware so I'm in a much better shape to add some 'NS2 flavour' for vids if I manage to get something done.
As usual with me and my silly projects, absolutely no promises at this point. Hopefully I'll get something done though.
I don't know about v. 1.04, and they were definitely a "big deal" at the time, but HAM lost the CAL S1 final (v. 2.01) to Evolution Revolution. AFAIK, HAM never won any tournaments, so I wouldn't personally rank them very high on a list of influential NS1 clans.

As Grissi said, the NS1 shotgun did 2x damage to buildings. I don't remember it having a significantly higher ROF than the NS2 shotgun, but it's possible.
The NS1 shotgun also had the infamous "reload bug", which significantly raised the learning curve (although it could be argued that it raised it in a bad way).
My hypothesis is that the NS2 shotgun will become overpowered once reg/performance is fixed, as it has a significantly longer range and tighter cone of fire than the NS1 shotgun.

The ENSL S6 finals should be your first project. Jesus what a match that was.
Haha... I had to check that one on ENSL hall of fame. Must've been intense.
