<div class="IPBDescription">Don't flame me! evidence!</div>I think we're getting close to NS' release. Think about the information that was released: We know the alien names, which indicates that manual is either being activly worked on or complete. We know the final peice of the tech tree for both races (lvl5/Hvy Armor). The changelog has been released, with numerous mentions of 'completed' or 'near completed' features. Top it off with news on NS downloads (STeAM, plenty of mirrors <- Flayra) and I'd say we're looking at one or two more RCs. I've personally been predicting a release of RC7. Lets see if I'm right!
And please, no flames about it'll be done when its done. I know that. I'm just saying that we appear very close (1-1 1/2 weeks) to the release of NS.

In the words of our ever-lovable evil PR guy (guess who?): It will be out sooner than you think...

monse or flaya i have seen say "its closer tehn you think" a couple times, in other topics, i'd hunt them down but u knwo i dont care THAT much about a quote.
and note the chagnelog is somethihng we asked for and they gave, changes go into every time they playtest
i think the steam is a big hint that its going to happen, but 2 weeks... eh.. i think they're ganna be cruel and wait till the very last day of summer sept. 22nd
*edit* wow i have a lot of spelling errors.. but ill save my grammer for school, just type fast and get it over with for everything else
(note they also planned and have garenteed [i think] a summer release)
so.. 2-3 weeks would be my guess
MonsE, you... gah. Teasing us like this. NS is within our reach and you're dangling it at us.
Everything but the car...
<!--EDIT|MonsieurEvil|Sep. 03 2002,17:28-->
Wait a tic.... did MonsE just give us PERMISSION to speculate?! Gasp... release HAS tobe near now...
Makes you wonder? <!--emo&:0--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'><!--endemo-->
Not very likely, and not much to do about NS but it makes time go by faster if you have an interesting discussion eh?
My prediction is that Valve, once it releases retail steam, will try and set their mod release restrictions and have mod developers only be able to use Steam as a forms of release. However unlikely this may sound, im a pretty strange person, so what the heck <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->
And what point would that be Mr. Monse...?
I know it was ment as a joke .. but .. eh ..
/me shrugs
steam costeh monies?
F**K VALVE! <!--emo&:0--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'><!--endemo-->

seriously though, if they DO (and i know they WILL; eventually) make us pay for it i'll just say "F' It!" and goto a NORMAL server on NORMAL half-life playing with the NORMAL stuff (eg: needed updates and such from other sites, or the main site)
and also if steam bites butt (like a level 1 biting a marine. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo--> ) in the ping department OR they have really crappy servers, im goin with the normal dedicated NS server.
PS: if they make all the HL games/mods steam only and you have to pay ill be rightly ###### and so will everyone else... lawsuits left right and center and on faster than a level 4's "blink" ability!!!

Valve owes it's left nut to mods. Where would half-life be w/o mods? Sure, it's a great game, but it wouldn't be where it is today. Valve can't stop mods from being released, as they can be downloaded for free. If they try to patch HL so you can only use steam, the rebellion would be obscene. No, game devs these days want to encourage mods, not restrict them. Because players still need to purchase the engine base before they can play the mod.
I am 99% sure the answer is no.
steam should pay NS not have NS pay steam, think about it

that completly confused me. <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->
but that idea came from someone's idea of "ns has to pay to have steam support"
I'd love to know what kind of legal ground those lawsuit could possibly be filed on. I suppose you've never read your EULA (End User Liscensing Agreement), which you agreed to abide by when you installed HL?
Anyways, Steam doesn't have much use now... but in a few years when just about everybody has broadband access at speeds higher than what's going around now, Steam will be incredibly useful.
Anyways... what was this topic supposed to be about?
