<div class="IPBDescription">Small gamespy stuff on ns</div>There really isn't much in it, nothing we don't already know, but Gamespy has put up a little Modworld thing on NS. Not exactly informative, but it's still about NS. Read it <a href="http://www.gamespy.com/modworld/september02/modworld13/" target="_blank">here</a>, in case you didn't notice it before.

I wonder why they're using such and old picture ...
NS hasnt looked like that for quite a long time.
Oh dear. Sounds like someone didn't do their research.

... oh... my mistake. You have to pay for the crap. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->
By the way, for anyone that's confused: Marine-Marine and Alien-Alien conflict is something being looked at for Version 2.

How come no one ever slams the UGO network? Or MPOG? Or Zeroping? Or any of the other dozen networks?
The reason is you need to learn to form your own opinions. People think it's fine to bag on GSI networks, that it's not 'cool' to like something that is very successful. Just like Microsoft. Just like an underground club in a city that Yuppies have discovered. Or a band that's on MTV and now a 'sell out'. Or Red Hat after it became available in stores.
The only reason for your scorn seems to be their success. Get better reasons that aren't snotty and actually have some bearing. It's obnoxious behavior, and being obnoxious will not make you any lasting friendships or respect. Look at all those linux guys that have never and will never kiss an actual live girl...

Don't forget Counter-Strike, though statistics alone show that there are some hypocritical counter-strike haters out there.
I can understand people not enjoying Counter-Strike for whatever reason, but you've got to see the irony of CS-bashing on a Half-Life mod forum. (As I so often see)
::Tzarcon makes a good point::
There <i>are</i> good reasons for hating Microsoft (just take a look at the EULA of WMP 7.0) that have nil to do with their success.
There <i>are</i> a lot of bands that, when starting to be broadcasted by the big ones, try to fit a certain schematic and thereby lose their own originality.
There <i>are</i> GS features (just remember the ha - ha - hilarious Daily Victim about the gamers atmoic vault that was nothing but a balant ad for the private servers) that are simply - look out, Nem's about to use the <b>word</b> - commercialist till no end.
Aside from that I pretty much enjoy GS, although I prefer other download sources, but if I criticise something about it, I don't want to be called obnoxious because some of the other critics could be.
So you handily helped to prove my argument, and I thank you. Now go invade Poland like all Germans do...
Heh.

Or should I call all those people who are enthusiastic about NS without having played it "sheep" too? After all, they didn't form their own opinion but are believing what others are telling them.

Apples and oranges. They don't like NS because it is small, they like the concept and what they've seen of the game pictures and movies. Quite a few of them will dislike NS if it becomes 'too popular' though. The whole point (missed by you), is that people do not share reasons for disliking something other than someone else telling them not to like it. We don't demand people like NS, we show them what it is and let them form their own opinons. Your argument is emotional, not logical.

And what monse says its completely and totally true, most of the people follows the masses when they move around the styles, games and other stuff... Why the heck do you think that people smoke?? anyways i don´t know in other countries but here i don´t know why but people that smoke, for the rest, are the cool guys <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo--> and they aren´t they are the dumbest.......
