The steam network page has been updated with new more detailed info.
Showing among other things the stats for each game.
<a href='http://www.steampowered.com/status/game_stats.html' target='_blank'>For the lazy</a>
It seems that at least 19300 man hours have been spent playtesting 3.0 (NSP).
And that NS is being beaten by HL:DM (?). Hopefully we will be able to actually see a big change in the numbers after 3.0 is released and beat TFC out of that 3rd place.

    Has anyone here played it? Also: Fat Tony referred to on site is not me. I really need a name change, who's the guy to ask? Or, hey, if an admin is reading this, I'd love to be "flintpaper". No quotations, please, I'm British. Cheers. <span style='color:orange'>Normally you're supposed to PM an admin of your choice, but while I'm here...done.</span>

    What player minutes means is that people have been playing cs for 1.5 billion minutes in the past month, not there is 1.5 billion cs players in the world

    1.5 billion players if they all only played one minuet each.

    HL-DMC has more steam servers than ns <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I bet that will all change come 3.0, I wouldn't expect to top DoD for too long though.

    Well.. lets look at this.. HLDM (no C.. DMC is Quake DM for HL) can run on any computer. Its pretty simple to put up a HLDM server. Most people already have HL for steam because it is required for mods, or they just figured they would dl everything and get it over with.
    NS in general is hard on servers. 2.0 on steam is even worse. A large part of the community has yet to switch to steam as they are waiting for won, so you have some 400-500 servers still on won, most of which are pretty well played. HLDM, while still having servers on won also, doesn't have nearly as many as NS won server, nor as many people. HLDM is hardly competition for NS. Check Gamespy.com/stats, they are often quite accurate and include both WON and Steam. I don't think I've ever seen HLDM beat out NS, let alone DMC <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> Actually, during the 2.0 release we beat out TFC and I believe that maybe if 3.0 is a bit more balanced than we might make enough of an impression to keep up there for a good long time.

    The real surprise for me on those stats is Sven co-op being so high. I really didn't expect that from a game where, in previous versions, it was almost completely unplayable on steam (The only fix being to delete your Sven client.dll.. not much for a fix really <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> ) Not to mention that Sven doesn't even have a linux compatible HLDS server package out yet, nor has it been released offically over steam as it should have been.. But thats NS3.0 fault really.. I believe the valve guys were going to do both at once.. So currently the Sven guys are waiting on a completely different mod... lol

    don't take the mickey out of IOS too much, it's supposedly very popular on WON and I know one of the team members personally; it's the same people who made vampire slayer <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I love vampire slayer but the server I play on there is nothing but a bunch of racists and stoners. O_o_O

    maybe you should try a different server? ^^;

    s'kinda funny, I was the first one in my year to play VS and introduce it to the others but I was also the first to quit... but not before my flatmate joined the team and became the head modeller =o
    makes me wonder if I should've turned down the offer to help out on the bushido mod (one of my other friends in university was the head animator in that ) ^^;
  • TestamentTestament Join Date: 2002-11-02 Member: 4037Members
    I used to play back in VS when it was just new...maybe eight servers on a good day. I should check out the changes that have been made to it...

    Lol my friend, it's not that easy. See I live in South Korea, ya that's all the way across the Pacific from the states. I like to play on good servers, 150-250 ping, and servers where they speak english and aren't calling you a ssibal nom over the microphone. Plus that server barely makes the 150-250 ping limit. Not to fun playing VS on 300+ ping. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Wow beat by HL:DM that's not cool. Public release will fix that though and I agree that vampire slayer is a great game. It was my favorite before I found NS.
