    If you play the game, you've got to accept certain things.  This is probably one of them.

    And that, my friend, is the great question.  The fate of the universe may be rocking on the desicion of the devs to allow sprays or not.  <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    But seriously, sprays won't make that much difference.  In fact, I think the good they do far outways the harm.

    This majorly belongs in Off-Topic. But anyways, I don't get what you're saying. You like <b>your</b> spray, but if ppl keep spraying <b>their</b> sprays it would loose some atmosphere? Ah well, I would be more worried about the thing lurking in the corner...

    Besides, people rarely (in all the mods I play) spray their sprays outside of spawn, if at all.

    As seen in cs, what about sprays of in game characters?

    Once you fall for it once it's a little difficult to get fooled by a large spray of a character that's flat.  Except on TFC, the stupid sniper sprays, anyone remember those?

    heh, yeah, but still mostly useless, people wouldn't spray them right, and it would just end up looking stupid.

    Sprays can be nice, besides, any intelligent server op sets a time limit on how many can be sprayed, preventing spam.

    This is one of those things...

    Those "NS isn't out but I want it to be so let's make conversation on some completely insignificant feature or point on the game to pass time" things.  Not that that's bad.  Gives me something to read while I'm waiting  <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    Argh use the search feature people. We discussed this a while back. It was said it would be a cool idea for the next version to have alien spraypaint look like infection or something and the marines could have the TSA logo.

    That'd be cool if the aliens <i>had</i> to spray areas with infection to make them a hive...

    In my opinion, the whole spray thing should have been replaced by a flag or something, just to mark that you totally owned someone, which is what a spray is for. making it customizable was a mistake, literally. i think they didnt intend for it.

    Using certain console commands you can make it so sprays don't show. <!--emo&:siege:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/siege.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':siege:'><!--endemo-->

    I have to say the lamest thing I've ever seen was a cloud render behind him...

    Blurred his shape just enough that I missed him, and it being CS, he owned me....

    I think that was the last game of CS I ever played...

    Sprays should be avoided. They serve no purpose except stealing bandwidth, hard disk space and time.

    Fortunately you can turn off the download of all custom sprays with the command "cl_download_ingame 0" in your config.cfg.

    I think there are just better things the key can be used for, seeing as they're making an effort to use no more keys than the original HL.

    EDIT:  In case anyone misinterpreted, that doesn't mean that sprays aren't in the game.  I think they are, in fact.  Just giving my two cents. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    well apart from people being complete idiots and spraying homosexual sprays about which I won't go into details all over the walls ruining the game from all of us sprays are quite stupid and nobody bothers too look at them. I think NS should get rid of sprays, they are stupid and they slow down the game.

    I say just have sprays defaulted as off and if the admin wants to go through the trouble changing the value, fine. Also with the way most of the NS maps have the arcitechture sprays wouldn't be very effective.

    I don't want to see sprays removed.  We shouldn't rorganize a whole aspect like this to prevent a select few from ruining things.  There are some benefits to sprays, you know.  In his top down view, the commander won't always be able to judge line of sight acurately for turrets, so his men spray the floor where turrets need to go, and he places them.  And, come on, there's really not going to be many people spraying the walls anywhere besides the readyroom.  Sprays are loud, they give away your position if the enemy sees them, etc, etc.
