<div class="IPBDescription">broken 500 server mark</div> when NS was first released there were about 450 servers and it was pushing near 500 but then popularity declined and before the release of 2.0 there were around 350 servers only. now there is around 550 and it's pushing near 600.
i agree that this version is better than ever although i am quite unhappy with some of the changes which i have explained in other threads. however even though i am known affectionately on the forums as the angry man for being the strongest critic of NS i have to say that despite that i appreciate what Flayra has done and NS is my favourite game at the moment, and if Flayra stops recieving criticism from me then he should probably get worried because it means that NS has gotten so utterly crap that i've completely lost interest and don't give a damn about NS anymore. so Flayra, be happy that i'm still insulting NS <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Javert you mean 600. it has been clearly well over 500 the whole time since soon after 2.0 was released.
TFC is also one of the only games that makes me burst out laughing really hard because of the way people soar through the sky when they are hit by explosive or when gibs fly back whenever people get sniped. hahahaha i'm just laughing remembering it. i also had a mad convulsing laughing fit one time when the **** VIP insisted on gibbing himself repeatedly on the starting elevator for like 45 mintues straight and all the other players on the team kept trying to blast him the fock away from the elevator with their rockets so he couldn't crush himself.
I never played multiplay halflife or quake or any of those standard 'shoot everything' games, they were just boring. And though it pisses alot of people off, in NS when the game gets to the 3 hour marine last stand I usually go to the ready room and then spectate. Just no fun standing there shooting all day.
actually a lot of people do that as VIP but they probably only do it once or a couple of times for a laugh. but this one guy kept trying to do it nonstop for the entire duration of the map till the time limit ran out. usually if someone says a joke twice in a row it's annoying but this guy must have crushed himself a hundred times and his determination to smash himself again and again and again ad naseum just had me in complete hysterics. the game just turned into the try-to-blast-the-VIP-off-the-elevator-with-all-the-explosives-you've-got-before-he-can-smash-himself-for-the-upteenth-time game. usually i get so annoyed when people try to sabotage their own team but this guys conviction and unbelievable persistence in trying to be the biggest **** ever had me laughing like a complete idiot after a while.
NS would probably get more players if Valve packed it with the Half-Life update. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
