NS1 Mod...

Am I the only one who yearns for a full conversion mod that is basically NS1 in NS2, or wishes more people played NS1?

While I'm okay with NS2, it just doesn't play the way I like it.... Maybe it's just nostalgia but I'd really like to have games without bots, which is all of NS1 currently. I really hope some group/person has the ability to set this into motion. If this has been brought up before or is in progress, please let me know. Thanks!

    Actually ns2classic is kinda fully developed, but there wasn't any update after January of this year as nobody really played it.

    When people played NS2c, it was a lot more enjoyable than NS2 at the time. But this game is rather dead these days. It's been 4 months since the last update, and 1 month since the last progress update.

    Dead is a relative term. There is still 20,000 people playing regularly. The updates have not stopped, just postponed until the new build machine is set up.

    Could you please provide a source for unique ns2 players? Perhaps vapour-ware is a preferable term, it feels remarkably close. With UWE completely abandoning it largely unfinished *just look at the game code, it's prototype quality*. Even the Aus community is all but non-existent, except on weekends.

    Down to 16k plus minus 3000 since I last looked. I could of been more specific, saying that in every two weeks but to me that is pretty regular. The source should suffice. I don't think it is dead, but a deflated player base is more accurate. Yes, Aus games I hear are pretty sparce. Same with asia. Even if that number was 2000 it would not change that "dead" is a relative term.

    It's down to 13k now, be careful with making statements based on steamspy. That service is still pretty young (about 2 month old) and hasn't even crawled all steam profiles, beside the fact that the stats are only based on public profiles.
