This is no mod!

JBoy · October 2002

<div class="IPBDescription">They are not fooling around</div>While i've known it for a long time, this is no mod. The NS team was not fooling around when they made this. I just watched that trailer, and the cg stuff looks more like it came from one of those HIGH END, HIGLY ANTICIPATED SUPER GAMES!!! We really owe this team a debt of gratitude, as they are giving us for free what we should HAVE to pay for. Man I'm really getting the "holy crap" feeling right now! <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>
I'm gonna take a sure bet here and say you guys -the NS team- WILL get job offers come Halloween!

Hmm...I wonder why? <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Guess this settles my "am I too old to trick-or-treat?" question.

DOOManiac · October 2002

you are aware that the introduction was not gameplay footage, but rather scenes rendered in 3d studio max that used the ingame models, textures, and sounds, right? The later stuff is obviously ingame :P

Flayra · October 2002

Yeah, he knows. Thanks a lot for the kind words. Indeed, one thing we are not doing, is messing around (and it takes a lot of extra work). Thanks for noticing. :)

JBoy · October 2002

I knew it was CG, but that was the first time I've seen something that good for a mod. Of course the ingame stuff is sweet too.

Nope, Flayra is the commander - he's sending those marines in there.

Necro · October 2002

welcome to the forums at with this momentus occasion

Jeb_Radec · October 2002

OMFG I WANT TO SEE THE TRAILER!!!! I CANT!!! IM IN SSCCHHOOLL!!!

Sgt_X · October 2002

IL EST BON!!

It is that good. (Out of the weird crosswiring of my brain I sometimes break out into french, it translates to "IT IS GOOD!!")

WaffleSpoon · October 2002

I see all these "thank you flayra" stuff, and sure, Flayra has done some incredible things, but not to forget all the others.

Take the models.. my god. The maps, holy (and I havent seen em in-game yet) the textures, the pr work, the trailer, the countless amounts of hours spent on playtesting it,the stories, the dedication of NS team and associates.

When seeing pics on forums, I go "holy sh*t, gimme", when I read stories I go "holy sh*t" and seeing that trailer.. u made my life so much nicer =).

Nothing more than

T H A N K Y O U A L L!

Jops · October 2002

When NS goes retail I bet Quad will finally get his Proclamations........

Da_Sarge · October 2002

I sure hope Flayra and the rest of the dev team don't forget the loyal fans when they move into their multi-million dollar castles in Europe after releasing NS retail....

WaffleSpoon · October 2002

I hope they dont go retail.. I would rather see valve getting a contract for a NS2, with its own engine, released with valve as partners and integrated in the already vast community. =)

Hida_Tsuzua · October 2002

NS is a amateur game in name only (i.e. non-profit). I've seen major games that feel more amateur than NS!

Freemantle · October 2002

<span id='ME'><center>Freemantle points to all Playstation 2 FPS</center></span>

Flayra has done a bang up job. There is nothing that could make me happier than the manual... or playing it. When DOOManiac and coil said the build animations were some of the best half-life animations ever, I didn't take him seriously.

After seeing a flyer in-game, my commanding future is in definate jeapordy. It was so fluid and weightless that I was about to crap my pance. The level four at the very end can only be summed up in one word...

CMEast · October 2002

Welcome AdeptaCheese, youll find we are all very friendly here as long as you dont do anything too stupid <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Have a look at all the links and youll find FAQ's and things which will fill you in on almost everything you want to know.

coldish · October 2002

Then they'll pay the NS team to make patches and keep the game running and try to buy rights to NS2 and from there the whole NS team goes more famous than they already are!! <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Congratulations guys, you've earned it. I predicts this getting very big very fast.

the_stalker · October 2002

that was cool with the level 4 at the end of the trailer

coil · October 2002

For the record: While the sequences at the beginning and end of the trailer are CG from 3D Studio Max, they *do* use the in-game models and textures. So yes, it was cleaner-looking... but that is what the models actually look like in-game (except for the red helmet-sights, which won't be in v1).

NoHawker · October 2002

Yes this game is very polished and professional looking. These guys know what their doing and devoted a lot of their time, energy and skills into this project.

I'm sure NS is going to be one of the top mods out there. Here is to much success to the team behind NS.

D_6969 · October 2002

Yeah I'm betting that if they made a game as boring and over done as DoD an official mod after a bunch of patches. I'm sure that they'll do that same with NS on the first or second release.

PeregineDive · October 2002

shoot, version 1 will blow away on their first relase anything that CS or DoD put out when they went retail!! man you guys rock!!

-PD

This is no mod!
