Desert Combat is cool, but it's freaking 0.25 ALPHA. NS is out. NS had better beat DC down.

SoBe_Dragon · February 2003

got my vote

Mindmeldme · February 2003

I voted a while back for NS....couple times actually. looked pretty close for awhile when I saw it last.

Zhang · February 2003

NS is not in beta. It is at version 1.04 right now. Beta testing was done prior to the actual public release.

twiliteblue · February 2003

Man, Desert Combat is *way* in the lead right now.

Crazed-One · February 2003

What da heck Im a big fan of BF1942, but desert combat is still beta .25 or something, how big of a forum do they have, I smell fish.

EDIT: And now that I look again were is FA, FireArms for HL, alot of unheard stuff there.

On top of that were did these nominations come from? I have Gamespy as my homepage and have the daily and weekly subscription, hell I even got a coffee cup, when did these nominations come up? I didnt see it?

Da_Sarge · February 2003

Hey folks. Remember me? Probably not...but anyhoo..on with my post.

I have never played BF1942..not that I don't want to, because my terrible comp won't allow me to. But, as far as mods go in general, people will be hard pressed to come up with ideas that would push game engines up and (nearly) beyond their limits in a way NS did. Taking a 4 (nearly 5?) year old engine and sprucing it up pretty like this is no easy task indeed. I already voted earlier today, and it was only at 55 votes. The one BF1942 mod was at about 300 or so.... Well, here's hopin NS brings it home.

Narfwak · February 2003

If a picture of an Onos on a Jones Soda bottle can get 2000+ votes, NS can easily own a gamespy vote.

idolminds · February 2003

BF1942 is nice, and I hear the mod is good....but it's just the flavor of the month. Go NS, go!

olisis · February 2003

right now it's DC in the lead with a little over 10%, come on everyone, DC is ok, but they should really try NS!

NS, NS, NS, ns, ns, ns, ......................

pardzh · February 2003

If a mod in an <b>ALPHA</b> stage beats NS, I'm going to rage on GameSpy (actually been wanting to do that for a while because of their evil steaming popup ads).

I don't care <i>how</i> pretty that game looks, it's got nothing on NS. It's DoD with vehicles for chrissakes, NS is the first game of it's kind!

I have Battlefield 1942. I bought it the day it shipped.
It's not until version 1.3 that BF1942 started to feel "professional". Version 1.0 was a freaking joke. It had more bugs then an alpha (but you PAID for this game.... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'> ).
Version 1.1 fixed a few things but the gameplay was still hindedred by literally(sp) thousands of bugs.
Version 1.2 should have been version 1.0.
Version 1.3 is finally an enjoyable game. It should have been version 1.1

Thing is, the vehicules in that game are fun, the maps are big and pretty, but you need a d@mn powerful system to run it at acceptable framerates.
The actual infantry portion of the game is kinda lame. I prefer DoD's gameplay to BF1942 (visit www.dodmod.com). Why? It's simple, the game behaves like you expect it to. BF1942 on the other hand... Battlefield 1942 has ALOT of balancing issues, and the foot soldiers are kinda lame.

The lag of that game is horrible though. If you have a ping of 50 on a BF1942 server, it's the equivalent of 150 on a NS server. If you have 100-150 of ping, it's about the same as 300-400 on a NS server.

That being said, it's still a fun game but that mod isn't better then NS.

ZERG · February 2003

Whoa NS is only 7% away from taking the lead. Just a few more votes... about 150 more.

MeltedSnowman · February 2003

Oh is that all.

(voted)

Grimm_Spector · February 2003

NS is far far cooler than DC I think, and it's not behind too much keep voting

ainfect · February 2003

NS might win since CS isnt on the list <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> no offense to NS at all, but CS still got a TON of fans. but im not one of them anymore. and 1.6 sure as hell aint bring me back either.

NS is definately the best mod on that list. Deathball being 2nd, and Max Payne Kung Fu 3rd.

Dunkin_Dynamite · February 2003

hey if it's not too much trouble could anyone give a brief run down of the mods on that list?

Whatever/whichever ones you have some experience with.

Not that I am trying to decide which to vote for, mind you <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> I voted for NS.

But I'm really interested in what the other mods are about and am unable to download much right now. :/

Forlorn · February 2003

Go NS!

If this vote wins NS will get some more publicity!

More publicity = more constalation members = more NS development!

Click the green text, their links to the mods sites dude....

and about CS, CS can ... well, let's not say that since I'll get banned from the forums, but I will say that cs sucks and is something I deeply loathe... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Keep voting!!

DC - 784 votes, 37.3%
NS - 663 votes, 31.5%

A mere difference of 121 votes!! Come on ppl, flush your cookies and vote again!! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

TenSix · February 2003

Spread the word....

Corporal_Nixon · February 2003

I too have had BF1942 and DC since day of release but DC is complete crap IMO. NS wins hands down, although Thievery (UT) is a truly excellent and well made mod, worth the DL if you have a good line and UT itself.

LoboLeal · February 2003

Vote made!!!. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Rue · February 2003

there 170 ahead of us =( , got a few people to vote for it in college =P and once at home

j0e · February 2003

*bump*

don't let 1942 win!

tbZBeAst · February 2003

Done.

Not much in it now....

Doombringer · February 2003

Voted.

Desert Combat isn't all that new, it was announced shortly after Battlefield came out, and I believe that would place its incarnation (and first beta) right around the time NS debuted.

killswitch · February 2003

Does anyone else feel guilty voting for NS when they haven't played Desert Thunder or whatever?

Me neither. NS all the way.
