i just bought half-life just to play NS, saw it on warbucket and i dont even know how to join a game, could someone please give me step by step instructions it would be greatly appreciated
Congratulations to you for buying the greatest game ever! I am sure you will have lots of fun exploring NS and all the other great mods that are out there! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Now, back to business.
After installing NS to your HL directory, you can start half life like usual. And if you like to see NS nice interface you can go to CUSTOM GAME. Choose NATURAL SELECTION and click ACTIVATE.
After that you can customize the graphics setting and maybe your controls to have the game act in whatever way you desire.
Now, when all that is finnished click on the MULTIPLAYER tab, the INTERNET GAMES. This will bring up a list of servers for you, maybe not NS servers tho, and this is where the FILTERS come in handy.
Go to FILTERS and make the server list only search for NS servers and also servers under 1000 in ping is nice.
Now back to the server list and UPDATE them. And then choose the server you like. Look for ones running the latest patch, having a bunch of players, and most important have nice Ping/latency.
or go to www.udpsoft.com/eye for the best 3rd party browser around! Granted the HL browser isn't bad, but the All Seeing Eye is better <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
