Well, while i was searching to find the GL-Missles-Plugin, i googled into that Web-Page: <a href="http://www.somethingawful.com/d/truth-media-reviews/truthmedia-review-natural.php" target="_blank">http://www.somethingawful.com/d/truth-medi...iew-natural.php</a>
Source of the Review is here: <a href="http://truthmedia.com/index.php" target="_blank">http://truthmedia.com/index.php</a>
Well, if you consider the upper line on that Web-Page, you might know, why that Review is so bad:
"We build online communities of evangelism and discipleship."
Yeah, <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nerd-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::nerdy::" border="0" alt="nerd-fix.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nerd-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::nerdy::" border="0" alt="nerd-fix.gif" />.

Well, in fact there were so many mistakes in this Review, that it looks like they never played this Game before.
That review is from January 22,2003 , so no comments can be done there.

As it goes for me, i started playing NS at the very first Open Release, and I'm going to keep playing it again and again.(Waiting for NS2 too)

BTW: Does anyone have the GL-Missle-Plugin, where you have to say /ml to switch the GL to a ML?
If yes: please share it with me.

    Pssst, somethingawful is a "comedy" site. The review is meant to be wrong and a joke.

    The purpose of Truth Media is to laugh at people who take it seriously.

    Well, that's obvious, but actually, the Review is something, that doesn't seem to originate from them.

    But reading, as how many mistakes they made, when they wrote that review, it's more funny than annoying.

    If i would happen to write a Review, i wouldn't do such mistakes, and all-in-all, i would give it Positive resonance(except for the missing Mine-Lasers which i still prefer modded active on some Servers, like the first of [KcK], one of my most favorited Servers)

    @Depot: THANK YOU, i hope i get that for my Laptop to work.

    Ummm the whole point of TruthMedia is that they make mistakes on purpose to rage people like yourself. What they then do is collect most or all of the email responses to the truthmedia article and then post those and we laugh more. THE ARTICLE IS FAKE OK. DO YOU GET THE JOKE NOW?

    Please tell me you didnt email somethingawful.com about their innacurate article...

    btw that "review" is about 2-3 years old i think

    Omg that was freaking awesome. Those are some solid comedy writers. I say that mainly because they know that anyone who doesnt actually know the topics / games they talk about, will believe everything and be so confused. They must write every sentence with huge smiles.

    wtf? its like reading about a completely different game. "game play non existent"?? did he create a server on his own and played against himself or smthn? "poorly balanced in favor of humans"?? how many times have u played as an alien and defeated the rines almost from the begining? i know i have. "A Fade alien lays down strands of web to slow the progress of the Terran Starways Authority marines." ..... no comment here... I hate when ppl comment on smthng without properly testing it. Maybe its a comedy site, but ppl who just stumble on that article, will think its real, and it will result in negative reputation of NS

    No one stumbles upon truth media articles thinking they are real. They are intentionally linked on fan sites to piss fans off, they aren't distributed otherwise.

    FFS dude, seriously... How the hell did you fall for that...

    No, he meant that you didn't realize that it's a joke review even though it's mentioned in this thread.

    Who would actually waste an eMail on that? I'd rather keep my PC on for nothing than wasting my time on such a Message.

    @Depot:I'm basically having most Plugins running now, that i always wanted.
    Here's my List:
    AMX Mod X:
    RolltheDice (had to search for that, gives you extras depending on your Luck)
    ExtraLevels (was not working as MetaMod-Version, but AMX is just fine, but still buggy with AdvAmmo@GL)
    LaserMines (I really hope that will become a Standard, since the Models contain the Laser-Emitter)
    Heavyjp (always liked that)
    selfheal (well, i actually wanted a selfweld-Plugin, but this is also nice: Highest HP-Boost by welding with HA, HPis then 290!)


    The MetaMod-MissleLauncher isn't working right now, it's saying that this is disabled, when I'm typing /ml in say
    CombatBuilding

    *eyes starting to bleed*

    The article is a joke, the email responses are not, but are published into another article making fun of the people who replied so seriously.

    how to find truth media?

    I guess I'm the last person on the internet to hear of this site. I went to <a href="http://truthmedia.com/news" target="_blank">http://truthmedia.com/news</a> but I didn't find any game reviews. It seems like somethingawful has several of their reviews. But someone meantioned there's a way to see their reviews and reply to them and make an ass out of yourself. Where is that?

    hint
    truthmedia.com and the truth media game reviews appear to be completely unrelated.
