Just wondering who has played Natural Selection and who still plays? Very fun game with a steep learning curve though, and very fast paced RTS/FPS hybrid. Aliens vs Marines.

I played that game, it was fun, a bit laggy on its origins (no server could handle the game with less than 400 of ping).
I dont play it anymore, not ns nor dod, eve and rl take out all of my time -----------------------------

I played it a lot once. I've only ever been a pubber tho :) .. Played a lot on surftown and later Yo (euro pub servers). I've been in a couple clans, but they've either haven't been serious, or I quit pretty quickly once I realised I played for fun.
I was a good alien and commander when I played, at least in my own opinion. "rawr" was my last regular nick.

Server performance has improved drastically, no real problems on any of the servers I play on now.(the big issue is the larger servers, but NS is meant for under 20 man games, (6 v 6 competitive play and 8 v 8 - 10 v 10 should be standard pub play but some servers go crazy and get 13 v 13 and 15 v 15 servers which are CRAZY) Other thing is out of all the half-life mods, Natural Selection is heavily dependent on rates because of how fast the action is.
rate 20000 cl_rate 9999 cl_updaterate 50 cl_cmdrate 50 is standard setting I think, some people have them higher and in reality they are depended on your connection(accept for the two rate ones) and I know these are probably wrong but they work good enough for me. You can get away with a rate of 8000 in CS, can't really do that in NS.

Natural Selection past 1.04 sucked, the game rapid turned to crap, and the performance is "bad," because of the rather inefficient coding.

I never liked NS to begin with. It did EVERYTHING right except for the most important part of an FPS shooter: Fun fighting. The shooting was crap, and not many HL mods ever mastered melee fighting.
Griefing is to ruin a friendly game, which Eve is not. |

Not my code :), when I was making server-side mods for NS, the CPU efficiency of their mod was so high, I had to make my code super efficient, otherwise the server would choke.
...Then I found out where all the lag was coming from and overrided the MOD's version *cough cough* AddToFullPack *cough cough*, had a few non-gameplay affecting bugs, but worked. In return, I had the lowest pinging NS server for a long long time.
I used to be a programmer for that mod...
Man it was great, then it kinda fell on it's face when they decided to make the forums inaccessible by the public, the website supposly got hacked. Thing is it doesn't take several months to put a forum back up, even if it's just a temporary forum.
Just something.

I used to play it all the time, starting with 1.04. It was one of the best mods/games I ever played. I never was able to be a commander, though. Lots of good memories from NS...
The game just wasn't really fun anymore when WON was shut down and ns 3.0 came out. :(

I never played it on WON, at least I don't think I did, I remember playing only 3.0 and on steam, but Counterstrike also seems to be a completely different game from its WON/Steam conversion. Doesn't feel the same anymore.

Edited by: KrogothZero on 02/07/2006 21:17:05 Yeah it went down hill its not the game these days that it was.
I played under the name kayomani.
Flayra may have killed the community but I do have a little faith that when NS:S comes out it'll be well done although we might see duke nukem forever before that.

i used to play on a public server owned by friends so we had the same ppl playing most of the time it was a really fun game to play but we kinda stopped playing because in the end bobody wanted to be commander on the marines side, and because the game started to suck in the newer versions

Any alien could cloak ... you got one skillpoint for every level you gained after x kills. What you meant is cloaked skulk, the starter lifeform :P but tbh focus fade was just imba. ---
