    I think you're a retard.

    With all due respect.

    Which....isn't that much....

    Edit:

    In all seriousness, no. Not only is your suggestion unrealistic, it would seriously upset gameplay. Not to mention create a whole new balancing scale, it would degenerate into rock, paper, scissors if the NS team did do it.

    I'll assume you're joking. Three races, okay, I can imagine seeing that. Adding two races out of the blue, and on top of that posting in a large, green font is a bit too much for me to swallow.

    In case you're not joking, yes, perhaps it could be fun to have some more variation in the game. Fact remains however, that it's not possible due to a variety of reasons. Balancing and the max limit to number of weapons comes to mind, and I can assure you that there are other reasons as well.

    Personally, I think it would make it a bit too cramped. Maybe for a Battlefield 1941 mod, but not for one like NS that has fairly limited map sizes.

    Also, only a certain number of weapons are allowed. It's something like 32 (not sure of exact figure.) There's barely enough for a new Kharaa, let alone a new species.

    On another note entirely, please use the standard font and colour when posting, unless you're doing it for emphasis or whatnot. It's not a rule, but it is polite.

    Agreed. We have nearly hit the weapon limit, trying to cram weapons for even <b>one</b> more race is impossible now, let alone two. To Darkrift: Please at least think through your statement if you are going to suggest something of that magnitude.

    Quite simply: "No."
    This should be in I&S or deleted, I opt for the latter.

    my friend was using my account to say 4 but i would like to see 3 groups.... if there was three groups it would make the game a little more interesting... and at the same time it would make the game harder in the sence that 2 groups could gang up on the winning group <!--emo&::gorge::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/pudgy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pudgy.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::fade::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/fade.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='fade.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Allow me to refer you to the Ideas & Suggestions FAQ, the thread you should read before suggesting anything. I'll highlight the relevant information:<!--QuoteBegin-I&S FAQ+--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> (I&S FAQ)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin--><b>Things that will not be going into NS due to engine/game design constraints:

    No, because that would be a technical impossibly on the HL engine. For this reason, perhaps you should actually learn about the mod before you start making posts like this on their forums, you know?

    This idea is more directed 4 if the game goes solo (no longer a mod 4 half-life). <!--emo&::siege::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/siege.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='siege.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Idea has already been suggested, and is ruled out in the FAQ.
