The reason's why NS is not up there yet:
1) it is still buggy (the other 'big mods' really are almost bug free) 2) Slowlearning curve, if you don't RTFM you are sorta screwed, and even if you do, you are sorta screwed. It takes time to get ussed to the dif idea. 3) The Maps, alot of people have complained about getting lost and sicuraged <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
The primary reason is b/c of time. TFC and CS and DoD Have been out for a LONG TIME. They each have had time to develope a large fan base, thats why NS really isn't up there yet, it just aint as old as the others.
Have you ever tried to tear a hardcore gammer away from 'his game' beit CS, TFC, DoD etc? It is HARD, most of us are really stuborn and snoty about it (look at all of the posts flaming CS in this thread alone <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)

My faves? Hmm... So hard to pick right now, because 1.04 is so played out for me.
1) NS - hell, it's been the most fun 2) Science and Industry - so kickass 3) FireArms - catches a lot of bull for balance issues, but it's awesome fun 4) Counter-Strike - think this game is bad? You've got issues with being a part of the crowd 5) The Specialists - I feel so wicked cool diving through a window in slowmo and capping two people before I come out of the dive.

1) NS - I think NS is rather amazing for being in beta 1. Many people lose sight of the fact that NS is very, very young. It is no where near finished - and to have had so many fun times in a game that is just in beta - rather amazing.
2) DoD - Good teamplay, good graphics, good fun. Its a little hard to play, though, once you got done with a game of NS. DoD is rather slow compared to NS.
3) TS - *goes slow-mo with sniper rifle and kills everyone in half a second* - Nothing like it. Great mod.
4) TFC - Different map objs/classes make for a fun time.
