What If...?

What if NS never existed?

What if Flayra never thought of this? What if NS died in its developmental stages?

Me, I would still be a ""elite" aWp3r" in CS thinking that I was playing the best game in the world and that I pWn3d everyone. I would be sitting my butt in a corner with an AWP and generally nailing people mindlessly. It wasn't until planethalflife posted a story on NS that I was interested. At first I wasn't. I thought, "OH B0Y! ANOTHER HL M0D T0 B3 0WN3D HARDC0R3 "elite" STYLE BY CS!" I waited for October 31st, 2002 - with malice in my mind. I played the mod and at first I was satisfied - I thought, "What n00b wanna play dis?"

A few days later, I was "Dis stuff kinda fun!"

Then my vocabulary got more sophisticated. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

It took me a couple months to be completely immersed, and now here I am.

Where would you all be? Post your thoughts, stories, comments.

And be sure to thank the NS team on your way out.

Because it's this team that has brought us out of the fold. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

For this, we owe them a lot.

    I'd be sat on my arse playing other games. I'd maybe have more free time not mapping and not posting on these forums, but my butt would be in the exact same place.

    youd never have asked this question and Id never have replied so who cares.

    edit: though Id probably have reached my very old level of q2 play by now.

    I'd still be waiting for Day of Defeat to make the guns that arent rifles worth using.

    I would be playing Medieval: Total War, and possibly have a life somewhere in there.

    I wouldn't even be playing games online. I've been playing NS since release and it's the only online game to ever hold my interest.

    I'd be either playing "quirky" mods like Underworld or Vampire Slayer.

    Objective games of MoH or Wolfenstein.

    Probably waiting for AvP3, and I would be telling myself that it would bring back coop mode and keep the alien lifecycle.

    Sitting at my PC wondering why there's no mod that covers all of these.

    Bored out of my mind, because this year is quite possibly the WORST YEAR TO DATE FOR PC GAMING. Well this HALF of the year has been.

    You should start a Flayra hate club, for taking away your life. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    If there was no NS....

    I would have wandered mindlessly around biting people for no reason.
    I would bellow ...and knock random people over in hallways.
    I would hide in dark corners and ....CHUCKLE
    I would purchase every item in a candy dispenser before leaving the room.
    I would follow people down hallways saying "I got ya covered"
    I would pause in the atrium of the place I work and looking skyward
    scream "Health! helllllooooo...I have an expensive weapon"

    For these reasons alone i would be institutionalized and subjected to shock treatment
    ...so its a good thing Flayra keeps a tight release schedule..huh
    guys...hello
