<div class="IPBDescription">maybe the end for most NS gamers</div> It's come to my attention that people just are bored and NS is getting less n less players per day, its not so much "want to play ns anyone?" its more of "want to play dod" or some really odd (not so good mods)
I know the NS team are trying their best, but games are getting boring !!! Its the same old tactics over n over with the same old people... although seeing less of the same old people
Its like being in a room locked up for 3 months with 1 movie -- Its getting old fast!
Clans are feeling the pressure too, with many on the brink of either going inactive or collapsing due to players losing interest
I fear i'm losing my umph to carry on too, been finding other ways to keep me entertained by digging into my bag of goodies and getting 2 year old games out (well im sorry its better then playing NS 100 times a day with the same tactics or same people over n over)
And i can tell many of you would say: change tactics / change servers .... well <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> dont make a difference
I doubt v1.1 will make much difference either since not that much is being added (shame but oh well - it was good while it lasted)

i think you have been greatly mis-informed. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
but lately the games that ive been playing are boring...
after posting this i will start to download this half-life mod "sven coop"
that should keep me busy until 1.1 comes out
aint playing it 24/7 anymore, i dont even get to play 10 mins without getting bored... then moving on i fear for my sanity! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Yes, it is true you're starting to see certain tactics used repeatedly over and over again. This is due in part mostly to the sheer effectiveness of the strat. 1.1 will hopefully further balance the game so as to make more than your run of the mill common strategies viable, hopefully prolonging the longevity of the game.
As for not caring because " Idoubt v1.1 will make much difference either since not that much is being added (shame but oh well - it was good while it lasted) ", well, don't let the door hit you on the way out.
1.1 is addressing both of these problems, improving many features, introducing a few new ones, adding new maps, and all in all opening up a wealth of possibilities. I don't think you'll find it boring at all.
its just a matter of time
As for 1.1, I agree - it will r0x0r j00r b0x0rz. Balance tweaks are always nice, but the gameplay that is in 1.04 is still pretty awesome.
*edit* this applies to pubs only, not clanplay - i have no experience in that arena, and so I can't really say anything about it *edit*
Feh.

that is what v1.2 is for... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
but i do agree that there is only a few ways to play...
if you dont like it... go comm.. go gorge
(ask first) build sensory, they make GREAT games if every changes their play style
do a HA rush... or try the first rush ever.. the hmg rush!
try useing shotgun...
do something else!
so ? better then laughing at people that arnt funny in a pub?!!?

i agree: no i dont agree...infact, it is the best HL mod, it owns, it is the best thing thats come to HL and compared to most games it completely smashes them to peices...its a brilliant game, well thought out, not many bugs.. great community - great idea (although copied from StarCraft + AliensVsPredator <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->) All im saying is its getting old fast - lets get this straight...
NS RULES! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
[edit] it was just a long way of saying : HURRY UP v1.1[/edit]
its the best FPS out there in my opinion (might not be to some peoples but thats their opinion)
its just a matter of time <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
its that way with every game across the planet. enjoy it while you can, and keep more than one game installed on your computer and it wont seem so bad.
I agree, well Im headin off to work, later all!
Most blatantly obvious changes: Extremely interactive environment, extremely smart AI.
Like, you can shoot a wooden support so that the bridge it is holding up crashes down on a whole bunch of enemies, this WITHOUT scripts/func_breakables. And, AI that easy peasy chases you through buildings forever and ever until a crossroad(I suppose, pure guesstimate), and there only because of not knowing which way you went.
Take a break, take a day, or two to relax <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->. I've played since day one, and havent been bored yet <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->.
