Release for public?

Aardvark · July 2002

<div class="IPBDescription">A few questions</div>[ 6/28/02 ]::NS is feature complete
It's rather hard to believe, so brace yourself: as of midnight tonight, Natural Selection is now feature complete. It's been almost two years in the making, but commander mode, the particle system code, 27 weapons, nine alien upgrades, a dozen marine upgrades, over a dozen buildings, a couple NSTRs, and so much more, has all been created.

First thing, yo unever mentioned if its for the public or not. Second thing, if its for the public, why hasnt it been released yet? And finally, how many servers would there be?

That only means that they currently have coded/added all the features for the mod (abilities and the like). It doesn't mean they have a build ready for release. Tweaking, artwork, and balance issues are still being worked on, and maybe a few more things. Relax, have a seat and some patience. The mod won't be much longer...

Slycaster · July 2002

ok... feature complete means all the coding of features is done, that doesn't mean its released yet, there are things left to be done before its released.

Yes, NS will be released to the public, were aiming for a july release, so not too long. You should really read the FAQ's here on the forum and here at: <a href="http://www.readyroom.org" target="_blank">The Readyroom</a>

Well, hope that helped!

Not to be rude, but the next paragraph on the news page was...

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td><b>Quote</b> </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">
More features will be added in the future, but right now, we have everything we need for a solid first release. <b>We intend to spend the next few weeks bug-fixing, polishing, balancing and finishing up art tasks. When we decide it's good enough, we'll release Natural Selection for free to the public.</b>

Legionnaired · July 2002

Why are those marines shooting each other in the back?

DOOManiac · July 2002

because friendly fire off is the only way to play!

Elowind · July 2002

no doom, its teamwork at it's finest, the first one is taking damage for teh second, and when the second dies, teh 3rd knows to run

SmokeMasta · July 2002

Slycaster · July 2002

Actually, FF in NS is pretty cool, lots of splash weps <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Legionnaired · July 2002

But, with FF on, some lamer could kill his fellow, responsible marine, take his shottie/HMG/GL, and use it to do more team killing!

tkers,always spoiling the game..........

Towers · July 2002

I think FF should be on, gives it more of a realistic feel where u all have to be careful not just all in guns blazing.
If someone keeps TK then surely you can kick them off?

Freestyler · July 2002

When you get in game it gets very hectic. Even with just a group of 3 marines being attacked by only 1 Bob you'll get shots going off everywhere as the marines try and aim at the damned thing. They move so fast that you'll all end up spinning around inncircles firing full auot hopping to kill them! With FF on in public servers, this will mean lots of teamkills and it will get vry annoying.

Imperial_Fist · July 2002

well i dont know about the voting system yet but its sometimes hard to kick a tker when ur team doesnt care or cant vote. and when u come around a corner see a guy u shoot and kill him then get mauled horibly by a <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/bob.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':bob:'> and then theres a flame war

SUPER BIG BUMP
emm
that release in july thing isnt very real you know..........
its already end of AUGUST

CollateralDamage · August 2002

And that is why nobody is allowed the faintest guess of a date anymore.

f3rret · August 2002

Yeah, you see? They never should have mentioned that. That's why moderators nuke any kind of speculation whatsoever. Because people like you dig up carp like this and ask dumb questions.

Haije · August 2002

It seems to be that for at least 3 monthes, the release date has been....close according to the devs. The kind of close I believe they implyed was like 2 or 3 weeks close.

This game has been 2 weeks away for 3 monthes, honestly I would rather have them give a date and then not make it if they couldn't.

I hate when people dig up carp too...

f3rret · August 2002

See, now I said carp, because read quicky, it looks like cr<b>a</b>p. I got in #### last time I dodged the swear filter, so I said "carp" instead.

Rico1 · August 2002

Stop ressurecting dead threads, the devs dont like it, we dont like it, and it has already been said that NS will be released when its done and no sooner.
