The Names

<div class="IPBDescription">NS:Combat and...?</div> Natural Selection: Combat was decided by the devs, and works fine. You can abbreviate it all kinds of ways. NS:C, NS:Combat...

So what do you call the original and best? NS:Classic? No good, because then you have NS:C and NS:C.

I propose Natural Selection: Origins, which not only sounds like it fits in, but also abbreviates nicely to NS:O.

NS:Combat
NS:Origins

Any other thoughts?

    Technically speaking Combat is still "Origins" because the Kharaa and TSA are just learning about each other still. Im just gonna call it "NS" and "NSC"

    Why not just call it C? Because it sounds stupid.

    Co stands for combat. Calling it c wouldn't sound as well. ( Co_angst, or c_angst).


    Let's just call it Natural Selection and Natural Selection : Combat.

    Because C as a name is kinda taken. Besides, you have to make sure people will associate combat with NS, hence the reason for including the NS there. Otherwise, even more people will be running around saying "Where can I get Combat?" And stuff... I dunno, give it some time, then I guess it will work itself out.

    I call it NSC or NS. Usually though in #NSPT I'll call it "vanilla NS" or "regular NS" since most of the beta servers run combat.

    Hmm... I see NS as more of a blanket term, but if that's what people call it then so be it.

    NS:C and NS works. Sometimes I'll use Combat and Classic when I want to be more specific.

    The fatteh is probably one of the most evil classes in NS:C, webs have NEVER been as irritating or interfering.

    Rest assured, all classes are viable and fun. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    NS: Origins sounds pre-conflict/contact... which i dont think would make for a very interesting gameplay type. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
    and
    NS: Combat sounds like the battles are heating up... which obviously sounds more exciting.

    so i think that just plain old "NS" fits in nicely between those two names.

    NS:C = Natural Selection Combat
    NS or NS:O = Natural Selection or Natural Selection Original
