Yeah, seriously, I thought we were talking about the Natural Selection ranking, not DOD. That discussion belongs in a different forum. Now a moderator is prolly going to move this topic and change its name to DOD, where it will never be seen again.... Plz don't do that!

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).

Your right about the bots, thats the only thing wrong about this service, but it is a pretty good indicator nonetheless. If there is any better one, just drop a link.
If ns 2.x goes retail like Flay mentioned, then I can see it exceeding DoD in player count and reaching 2nd or 3rd place. However, as it is, there isn't enough general public awareness of ns to get into the top 10.
Yeah, this mod really needs a lot more exposure, I only found this game when browsing gamespy and stumbling upon it when it won best modification for 2002.
I found this game by clicking on a moddb ad for best creativity.... and then i was enlightened <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> but the PR Blitz will hopefully make big headlines and IF ns gets moved to HL2 then even more exposure gets out cause of HL2 news sites cause they post major stuff like this... i know they are watching/waiting for it
I can imagine it evening up or surpassing TFC but not DOD. It takes a certain type of gamer to play NS. I'd be happy with the amount of players TFC has, but any more and it starts getting crowded.
The only problem with DoD is that the other rifles like garand and carbine are so underpowered. Carbine and garand should at least have more accuracy. The british and nazi bolt-action rifles are insanely good compared to allied rifles.
On a good day with the garand I can get a 5:1 kill/death ratio. On a good day with the british/nazi rifle I can get 11:1 ratio. Just look:
Yes this is way way off topic but why not talk about Day of Defeat? It isn't going to make the forum explode.
Umm, because there are DOD FORUMS FOR THIS SORT OF THING. Do not post about DOD here because we don't care nor is it related to NS. Oh looky, he has good stats, I don't think anyone cares, why don't you post that in the DOD forums so we can talk about NS here. It only makes sense. The only reason I am talking like this is because I said DON'T POST ABOUT DOD IN THIS TOPIC and you didn't listen. So, to go back ON TOPIC.
Post where you first learned about NS so the developers like Monse can go PR blitz over there. We need to make this mod popular so us clannies can have fun clan games.
How about being less condescending so you don't look like an ****. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
Americas army is crap, I spent like a solid hour playing training to get honor points so I can play on normal servers and I accidently unload my machine gun clip into some teammate crouching in a dark alley and I lose them all.. Its just a waste of time. Its also laggy as crap every time I walk forward I warp back and forth and through walls and crap, its really not fun.
