in NS General Discussion
<div class="IPBDescription">Steam update, for those who didn't know</div> I browsed steampowered.com, and found this piece of information that might interest you. The individual Halflife mods played on Steam is ranked by number of current players. And NS is currently all the way down at number 6. This number might be higher at other times of the day, and will of course climb even higher when more of the community switches to Steam. Check it out for your self at <a href='http://www.steampowered.com/status/game_stats.html' target='_blank'>http://www.steampowered.com/status/game_stats.html</a>

    It's sure to climb higher. I guess that still many players use WON (I do). So once they move to Steam, NS will get a lot higher

    Real nice feature they have there

    BTW, expect the numbers to boost a bit more when 3.0 is released because hey, it's Steam only <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Actually if you add nsp (the beta testing of 3.0) NS will be at 5th place, and surpass Sven-Coop. So those of you who aren't in the beta-playtesting can use this page to see how active the rest of us are in testing the new 3,0 <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I think once NS 3.0 comes out exclusively for steam, NS will be in 3rd place behind CS and DoD. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I remember back in 99 when I started playing HL and TFC and TFC was #1... =/
    Hmmm I thought there were more peeps playing AHL than that... I haven't bothered to d/l steam yet because of the whole 750 MBs thing...hehe

    If you have HL you can cache it from there
    Dunno how well that works though... I downloaded seeing as how that caching diden't work very well...
    But that was with all the instability at the release

    EDIT: I CAN'T believe we're beaten by Half-Life DeathMatch......

    That's if you want every official game that Steam has to offer.

    Personally, I'd recommend downloading just Steam (500kb installer) and selecting the mods you want. The content servers give a very good rate now everything has settled down.

    You have to play HLDM on steam.

    Most NS players play NS on WON.

    Put these 2 facts together and things seem reasonable.

    I like how NSP ( 3.0 ) is in the top 15. I predict at least top 5 for NS when 3.0 is released. Maybe even top 3.

    1st - CS
    2nd - DoD
    3rd - NS
    4th - TFC
    6th - HL DM
    5th - Sven

    Currently NS is the 4th most played HL mod. It has been that for as long as I've been keeping track.

    1. CS
    2. DOD
    3. TFC
    4. NS
    5. HLDM
    6. The Specialists
    7. Sven-Coop
    8. Firearms
    9. Teamplay
    10. Digital Paintball

    The exact numbers I'm going off of are based on the number of unique names in the last month. Seeing as this isn't a precise measuring tool, I won't bother posting the exact numbers. NS has had an approximately 35% lead on HLDM for over two months. It would need to double it's player base to overtake TFC.

    Yes becoming a steam exclusive game will definitely help the stats and the spread of this game. It will be like when game spy gave advertisement to download new Natural Selection on file planet (hate game spy all you want like me but damn I love file planet) except this time people will mostly stay and love the game.

    NS is mostly played on WON and not STEAM because it is not compatible with STEAM. the menus don't work.

    i wish 3.0 would come out so i could get STEAM so i could try the new Svencoop. Svencoop is no longer compatible with WON.

    such a mess.

    btw i think when NS 3.0 is released we will see STEAM clogged up again like when it was first released from all the people switching over to STEAM.

    The menus DO work, steam just released an update that fixed this problem. Although I haven't had that problem for a long time. But, how in the hell are there more players on HL Deathmatch than ns?!?!?!

    ok well i didn't know that, and that probably means many other people don't know that either and we just remember hearing that it didn't work and that is probably why many people are still resistant to switching to STEAM.
