<div class="IPBDescription">Hurray!</div> Anyways, I just remembered that when the first release came out how long games lasted and how few people knew what they were doing. I also remember how fun that was. Now I can play a game for 30 mins and 2 rounds have gone by. 1 rush from the aliens, and another short struggle for a second hive. I wish it was still in the first few days of release, the game had more... how should I put it? Draw maybe? It was more captivating. Now it is all rush, rush, rush! It took me 1 day to realize that Aliens were more fun, yet more complicated.


What is everyone else's feelings? Do you wish it was still druing the first week or two?

    That is kind of my point. the mod has been out for 3 months, and tons of changes have gone through the game itself. I am talking the way you felt about the game.

    Me personally, yea I would love to go back to the first few days of the game. When it was really fun because there were no siege **obscenity**, no skulk rushings, or for that matter skilled players. And it isn't the matter if i am a good player or not, but it was just everyone was on equal grounds, because we were all new. That is what I am talking about.

    BTW: there is no reason to swear in this thread. none what-so-ever.

    Actually the way i see it things are different. In the first days my friend put up the fanservice ns 1.0 server. Good **obscenity**. Within a week we had regulars that were skilled and we created a clan from it. Now we are one of the best clans. What im saying is from my pov skill was very impotant back then. As for current patch i see it the other way. Marine rush wins and Aliens struggle for hive 2. Keep in mind that is clan gaming which is a bit more fast paced and strategized than your standard ns pub. The only thing i miss about 1.0 are the 8 hour battle. Nothing like waking up and sitting through a fight for 8 hours to really make you feel like you were in a war. Those long games were some of the best gaming experiences in my life.

    This is exactly what I am talking about. He loved that expirience. I am not talking about how fun it was being a new player or anything, I am talking bout, did you have more fun, or the most fun back then. Why is it AcKz, that you have to be so aggressive towards this topic? Didn't you like the feel of exploring a new map, game, and well... having a game with a nice learning curve instead of... (*bang* dead guy, *bang* headshot, CS...) I mean cmon, there had to have been something you missed about NS 1.0

    Ah yes, I remeber once in version 1.1 or something i was in a game for around 2 hours, and it had been going on for a while before. The comms were on an hour rotation or something like that. The game was so close that for around 20 minuts both teams controled parts of the same hive location until our siges finaly came up.

    I dont see any way to make games last longer however. Either one team wins with rush or it becomes a test of how long the fades can be held back.
