Just incase you don't go to PHL.

Well....what can i say.

In relation to combat :

<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Players have adapted to the change of play, with marines sitting tight and guarding the Command Chair, preparing for the incoming onslaught of aliens.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Tbh ive hardly ever seen this.... the first thing anyone does is rush to the middle of the map for control over the vital points.

Well...their goes the whole idea of aliens out the window, stealth? patience? silence?

<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->There will also be a huge difference in graphics when going from the old 16-bit colour of Half-Life to the 32-bit colour of Steam.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Well i personally thought NS supported 32bit in normal HL. Hence why you get the option to choose 32bit on the NS install.

Well apart from them bad points its not a bad review, gets to the point and is mostly accurate also some nice screenshots in thier to add to the flavour.

Plus they gave it 9 out of 10 cant fault em on that <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

It's HL. You can't really justify giving anything on HL over a 9 really.

You sound like the lovely people who say new books are stupid because they don't have graphics.

Or that chess is lame because it can be played 2D.

Hey, suicide rushes is kinda an alien thing that too, wouldn't you say? At least as skulks; you know, sacrifice yourself for the better of everyone else? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Yes, you could have 32-bit color on WON, just by appending a command-line switch to kick it into the higher mode... always played like that, before I made the changeover. Think that Boomtown probably should have played a bit longer, or at LEAST waited for it to get out of the initial Beta rush of Combat-crazed nubs.

Mmhm. I don't see how they can review a <b>beta</b> that they fully recognize is a beta. A 9 is a good score, yes, but graphics should be judges against HL and other mods, not what Hl2 "supposedly looks like".
