    I know what the secret is, the secret really is that natural selection is really a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GAME! its really a rpg and not a fps/rts and there are no aliens only mutated monkeys, and the marines are just fancy looking scientists, that is my conspiracy theory and the TRUTH! Im only kidding i think they are really going to have a release of a new weapon....or a new race.

    Actually, NS is really just a cheap CS clone.  All those screenshots are photoshopped.

    Well, since someone asked I remember back in the day that Comprox was trying to get X amount of servers.  These servers would then be used as training servers where newbies could come join, and get tips from the pros, etc.  I dont know if that is what the PT's are hinting at ( I doubt it ) but I'm surprised that this topic made it to page 4 without anyone saying this!

    Honestly, barely anyone these days RTFM.
    Besides, no matter how well you know the game, maps will always be new, and the playtesters know the maps (or at least a little of them) already.

    What I suggest is that during the first few weeks, the playtesters try to space themselves out among the many populated servers -- 2 to a server.  One playtester should be the commander, and the other one be an alien.  Put a tag on your name.

    I know exactly what your planning! Don't think I don't know! Your just trying to confuse us by laughing and *hiding in the dark* just to make us think that there is a conspiracy but really there isn't and you guys haven't been playtesting at all and you know absolutely nothing about NS so your trying to scare us to not playing so we don't get our bums "kicked" but really we would be the ones doing the kicking! Or maybe you want us to think that and there is really some sort of USSD (Ultra Secret Special Device) going around that your not telling us but only really telling us but not directly and making us think that your not but you ARE and this is all some kind of sick game for you guys to release NS at a charge of $3.00 a pop!!! YOU BAST@RDS!!!!!





    or I could be wrong... <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->

    It's the newbies own faults if they don't read the manual. Anybody who doesn't RTFM (when R=Read) shouldn't be allowed to play anyway... IMHO.

    I still think there should be a simple quiz based on the manual the firs time you play, and a spelling test so you can actually understand what people say in game <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->
    Really though guys, don't worry, we have it covered!

    Oh that gives me an idea...

    "Your commander furiously shouts at you to "RTFM!". What do you do?"

    A) Say "Okay" obediently and leave so you can RTFM.
    B) Say "What does that mean?"
    C) Say "But I did!"
    or D) Say "wtf stfu n00b 1 r t3h r0x00r ph34r mi sk1lz w00t@#!(&^"

    I'll take D for 5 points Bob.

     I reckon Comprox has a valid theory there! Why else would they be snickering in the dark, worshipping their heathen gods and... uhhh... stuff. <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    What you said Surge touched, scared, and confused me all at once. You will be the leader for the new enlightenment! <!--emo&:0--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'><!--endemo-->

    All hail Surge!

    Heh, how about an IQ test, anyone who doesnt get a respectable score cant play NS, just watch in a special spectator mode which has special subliminal messages saying "I am inferior, I must do what my masters tell me" over and over. Theyll eventually get it.

    Or the penatly of failure could be that their mobo self-distructs?

    The mannual will contain guides to each of the maps, still it's not the same as being 'on the ground' as it were.

    Personnaly I opted out of the PT conspiracy, because of my low willpower and poor reaction times.
