Ns clans

I know it maybe a bit premature, but i already run a cs clan, and weve opened a NS branch because it looks so amazin, but from what i can tell, NS looks fun on public servers, but the true beutey can only been observed in tournament mode.
I was wondering if there is anyone else out there, who is thinking of/started an ns clan who would possibly like to play regular friendlys with my clan when it comes out?

    I was thinking about starting a clan, but I would rather leave it until after NS is released (if I ever do). My advice is to come back nearer the release date, when people are more oganised towards the playing and clan scene in general.

    Yeah, it should be a lot more team orientated. I got fed up of the CS clan scene, where you enver knew whether this new clan member would think of himself or the team during a firefight. I ended up with jsut a couple of people I could trust to play as a team.

    With NS, this should hopefully change, I foresee a lot more teamwork, especially with the RTS/FPS incest theyve got going on. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    Yeh i hope so, I have just given up playing cs on any servers except my own clans, because everyone just plays on their own instead of as a team.
    the one thing that does worry me, is if NS does get popular, the game may start to be filled with loosers who play for themselves and just ignore their waypoints and just go try kill all the aliens themselves, however im hoping that the commander not giving them ammo/weps would make em quit or fall in line  <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    From what I have seem, in all of the mods except for HL, teamplay is widely used by most people. Counter-strike seems to have the monopoly on people playing for frags (as does some DoD, but not as much by a long way).

    Also, the dev. team seems to have put a lot of work into making it team-oriented, especially for the marines. People who do not play as a team should be bait pretty easily. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    uh huh  <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
    Also from what i can understand from the site, the game seems to require little skill when shooting aliens, when say compared to cs.
    Am i right in guessing that there isnt alot of recoil or anything like that, and most of the skill comes from being able to aim at those pesky fliers.
    Similar to avp i guess, where most of the skill comes in being able to hit the aliens and spot those preds

    One of the things that shows real promise is the inclusion of both deathmatch style of play (for the aliens), and objective based (for the marines). I get bored playing just one style, I normally have 2 mods on the go at the same time (TFC and RocketCrowbar, other such combinations where one is teambased, one is deathmatch), so I am hoping I can replace both of these with NS, and hopefully a clan.

    Well CS introduced me to online gaming, but im pretty bored of it now, and want something else to take up reasnably seriously so i can give up cs  <!--emo&:angry:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'><!--endemo-->
    Im more of a tactics man, i prefere games like star craft or cs clan matches to cs public or hl dm or something
    Hopefully ns will sate (is that a word?) my needs

    XTS is a clan that has thier eye on ns...

    XTS is made up of 4 members:
    SentrySteve (such a sexy/cool guy and owns jedi)
    Highlander
    Nemesis
    Foxtrot


    We dont really recruit becuase its been the same four peeps for a very long time.*2 years?* so 'outsiders' just really dont fit in.  Also if a new person were to join us they would have to fit in w/ everyone cuase we dont have a leader.  I doubt we will play on any ladders.. most clans want more than a 4v4.  At any rate welcome to ns!

    Im presuming the average game of NS will be around 6v6, my clan currently has about 8 people, but that number may fall when they actually play it  <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->

    Thats the beutey
    My clan already has 3 cs servers, and we have space to host some NS ones too, so having a server isnt a problem
