HL mod - Natural Selection

has anyone tried this Starcraft meets Tribes half life mod?

Didn`t like the mod , had some new cool ideas like building stuff but that was almost all, new and cool animation and sounds but it was to boring to get on my regular gameing list

Yeah, i love it, so much fun. There is a thread about it somewhere on here already, try looking at page 2 for it

(this is not a sarcastic comment about posting threads twice either)

Found it...

Yes, great mod!

Lots of fun, you really get into the game, its intense

i love this game. been playing since the first day of its release. been looking forward to it since they were beta testing it (i was lucky enough to be a part of the testing teams)

it's excellent. a successful hybrid between starcraft and tribes as mentioned above. one of the few multiplayer 3D shooters out there that doesn't just state you need teamwork (ala CS) but actually require it.

time to toot my own horn now i fooking own in this game. both alien and marine. i received the "best commander award" on one of the servers hehehehe. no jokes. hope to run into some of you online (thank god for only 500 servers)

servers i frequent and some i part-time admin

vadakill's NS server 1.03 <--one of da best btw
CYI NS (something like that)
NYC fragging something something

some others. but i usually stick to vadakill when i can.

Lynx whats your name online?

Anyways NS is my current game of choice, I play with the clan [TE]. I cant wait until CAL starts up... its going to be insane. Few things releave stress as hiding cloaked and silenced on a celing, dropping down and having a marine sandwich =)

YO!! OMG! I saw you once, I played with you and you were commander, you're the best commander that i've played under, the other guys don't know what their doing and stuff i think my name was something like |2apTu|2E, i had a [UHS] tag, playing with some of my friends from school

ahhhhh piggy! hehehe. i remember that nick on NS. thanks for the compliment good playing with you. maybe i'll run into you again m8.

i usually play on vadakill like i mentioned above. but i occasionally frequent other servers...it's just that, i've been on vadakill since day 1 of NS and everyone knows everybody on there, you know how ppl play thus we have some of the best NS games. great challenge and fun.

like yesterday, omfg...THEE best NS game i've ever played on tanith. ALL the hives must've switched ownership at least 3 times. it was pandemonium.

cool, i'll check that server out, i'm tired of playing with people that don't really know what they are doing,

btw, you can use gametiger from www.gametiger.com to find players on different servers so you can find each other if you know each other's nicknames

heh, gametiger eh? cool. dunno if i need tho. i always run into them @ vadakill. and it's usually all at once too. so it's nice.

come by sometime it's either almost always full or completely empty.

Yeah, this game is incredible. i play it all the time. Though, its a tiny bit unbalanced at the moment, but its only at 1.03 =P.

unbalanced? maybe...but i don't see it as that at all. marines rely heavily on the commander that's all. shitty com = automatic lose. the first 5 min of a game pretty much determine who's gonna win it.

Now that I think about it, i think your right. Its not THAT unbalanced. it could use a tiny bit of tweaking to maximize the game, but yeah, the game is SOLELY based on teamwork.

yeah i mean, aliens can easily lose if the gorge has no idea what he/she is doing. it happens every now and then. it'll only get worse once NS gets more popular. i hope it doesn't. so far the servers have reached over a number of 500 (there's like 522 now).

i agree, the game is definitely in need of tweaks. but like you said, it is version 1. overall, the NS team has done a bang up job. keeping up with the bug fixes and patches. not to mention optimizing the lag code a bit more.

i hope they keep it up and don't let down. unlike the CS team...they got so fookin lazy after beta 6.

hah yeah, the first week or two, the lag was horrendous, save for like 1 or 2 servers =P. like 800 pings everywhere, it was crazy. I'm glad they're stayin on top of all the problems.

what's your nick on NS? any particular servers you frequent?

mine is strictly vadakill if there's already ppl in there. it fills up fast.

yeah, vadakill is always full for me, they have what? 12 slots?

D00D! THIS ROXXORZ! (enough leet to go for a week)
its so great!
its like your a mean (grean?) fighting machine when you play as a marine, and on the other hand, the feeling of being an alien and liek climbing up trhough the vents and putting your teeth into fresh human flesh... IT OWNS CS THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS MUCH!

I play in one of 2 servers normally:

1. ArsClan (passworded server, good people play in it. Password = arsclan. Don't join unless you're good =) )
2. Fists of Ra

Btw, my handle = 'Srezic'

We'll have to play sometime. i love this game, though i've been playin battlefield 1942 a lot recently =P.

There are definately some balence issues, especially for clan play. The current tactic of choice for marines is to flat out rush: if you try to expand, control the map and the RT's you let skulks group at the hive, and you will get raped. Not to mention you give the aliens plenty of time to build a second hive. The general alien strategy is to try and counter the rush while a gorge sneaks off to build a second hive. If he succeeds, its pretty much over for the marines, with fades running about everywhere.

But if you get two great clans that are equally skilled, they will enter a clash to end all clashes . Most clan games are pretty much onesided the whole time, but Ive played in a few frantic ones. When you find yourself in one of those, it makes the best pub of your life look like a bunch of CS kiddies going h4w 3y3 r0x0r j00

In pubs, a round can pretty much be decided, but it takes 30+ minutes for one team to finally crush the other. Especially if the marines are on the losing side: they could have absolutely no chance of coming back, but they could fight tooth and nail forever. This really makes a lot of pub games shit, especailly when people dont want to cooperate

cool, i'll take a look @ it sometime szeric.

piggy > vadakill is usually full starting @ 11 am - 12 pm EST. ppl start joining around that time.

nrjizer > i totally agree. hence why i usually just stick to one server or two. too many peepz that try to play it as a deathmatch or just don't follow orders. it sickens me.
