Hi everyone.
So I heard some talk of this very cool mod, called Natural Selection. I decided to try it out for myself. After reading the description, I was eager to play the game at last.
Something's weird, though. I've got really weird maps. Maps like: Bootcamp, undertow, etc. I doubt these are NS maps, caus' I've seen them before in another game. Maybe this is the result of a faulty installation?
Also, when I try to join a multiplayer game, it says I can't join a server untill I've installed the custom game myself. What's up with that? I've installed it allready!

You're probably starting the game from the Shortcut on the desktop, i dont know about anyone else, but this won't work for me. You need to go into normal Half Life (or any other HL mod) go to custom games, and activate NS from there. Should work then
GameSpy Arcade
The All Seeing Eye
works fine too
come on board
Natural Selection is the best mod i have seen in awhile
* pluses
the kills are highly exciting because you do NOT fight a similar player with similar tactics and similar weapons
the wins are huge...it is very clear who one....no tight games no last minute i almost capped
its just dang fun (get yer first kill as a skulk ....you will see)
* minuses
learning curve is high...
learn the basics before trying commander (Marines) or gorge (Alien)
as a marine learn how to make the best use of the light machine gun (LMG) and yer pistol (pistol is great for long precise shots)
as an alien learn how to play skulk very well. crawl along walls ceilings and ambush.
reason being is these are the base classes and when resources are low...that is all you got
so browse the forums there are plenty more FAQs on playing
but above all .....play, play, play

My desktop icon works fine...
you need to open the properties box (right click the icon > properties)
then in trhe box that says "Start In" type C:\Sierra\Half-life (or what ever your HL directory is)
