<div class="IPBDescription">Amazing where its at!</div> Look where Natural Selection is ranked!!! Number 13 top played modification overall. And its the 4th top played mod for Half-Life.
<a href='http://csports.computerandvideogames.com/topmods.asp' target='_blank'>Most Players Online for every mod.</a>
Lets all take bets on what that rank will be when v2.0 comes out. I am guessing it will surpass TFC but not DOD for a while. Once people start to notice it, DOD will be behind it. It will never get close to CS though, unfortunately. Not sure what rank it will have overall for mods, I am guessing top 5. Probably 5th most played. This speculation is of course after NS 2.0 has had proper time to move through the community.

What i'm trying to say is, this is in no way an official listing whatsoever, so nothing to go on, really, as to NS's popularity.
If you want proper stats, download ASE and do a stats run a few times each day over a week or sth, then calculate the average. But theses stats with UT2003 having twice the players of Q3 is just a joke.
it's a pretty fun game I dont' see why not
CS had about 50,000 players at any one time when they released CS 1.0, I believe. If you're talking about beta 1 that's a different story ;p The size of the HL community when beta 1 was released was many times smaller than it is now.

Any game that discourages shooting your own squad in the face should be banned <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
10-16 year olds just wanna join a server and play, not stuff around with training and the like....
DOD is a nice game if you don't mind the K98 (TBH it's not as overpowered as people make it out to be)
I still think it's sad that there are more people playing CS than all those other games combined ;(
People need to broaden their horizons.
WHEEEEEEE!!!

I know this is offtopic and will prolly get me seriously dealt with - but I cant let you get away with that. I am good with the Kar, and the Enfield for that matter. Damn good. And that isnt saying much - its not hard. Stand still, point, click. WINNAH. Get into the pattern and every other gun pales in comparison. Even a deployed machine gun pales in comparision.
Watch clan matches. Every axis player uses the Kar, the whole damn team is maxed out with the Kar unless they happen to be honourable dogs who are trying something different.
The Kar is the best at everything - short range, mid range, long range - the only thing it falls down is with multiple targets. But then again ur bullet goes through ppl, and you have an insane manouverability so multiple ppl isnt a prob.
If Kar in DoD = Kar during ww2 then the germans would have the world in there pockets right now. Hitler would have died last year of old age and we wouldnt even remember the Jews.
I know NS doesn't have the 20k servers that CS has but we do have a fair amount.
2.0 will make this mod in the TOP 10 for sure!
SO i think:
If the cs or dod players would know that ns exists, thier would play NS

The only problem with it is that you need a super ninja computer just to run it :/
Just because you are on the winning team doesn't mean "u r t3h WIN" lol
BUT, if you miss with the K98 at close-medium range and your opponent is using an automatic you are dead unless they are great at sucking.
The K98 is an awesome weapon (since I regularly go 3:1 or 4:1 k:d with a 250 ping) but it is actually less powerful overall than in 3.1 where it fired and reloaded faster.
The real issue is that the DOD team accidentally made certain weapons (namely the garand and deployed MG's) suck in 1.0 which has a knock-on effect of making the K98 seem better. Also, hitbox bugs that make chest shots from the front register as arm shots makes LMG's less effective.
TBH it is fair to say the K98 is the most versatile weapon (i.e. loses the least effectiveness outside of its ideal range), and is the most effective weapon at long range. However, it is not the 'god gun' that people make it out to be (look on the DOD forums for angry ranting on this issue).
Sorry for the long, off-topic post.
