Simple enough question.


I hope I'm not crossing into some sort of "forbidden topics zone" by posting this. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    1.04 to 2.0 was a good improvement.

    I dont really like 3.0 though.

    It's taken steps forward AND back. But I have to say I'm getting awfully tired of the game dynamics dynamically changing every few months <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    for clan play yes.

    pubic play of ns is the only thing worth debating.

    Yes, Jim. Yes, it has.

    I still don't like playing as them, but aliens are more fun than they were. I'm glad they got rid of King Gorge/lifeforms tied to hives. Sensory chambers are actually useful (if underused). Also, I loathe ns_bast with all of my black heart, so I'm glad I don't have to play it anymore.

    The only thing I miss is the big hive fights of 8 oc/dc + hive and skulks + gorgs VS hmg/jp'ers. COOLEST FIGHTS EVER!! Then you could add a few lerks in there and its a show.

    Its not like pubbers are playing a different game. If they don't know how to play and that makes it unbalanced or less fun then they should learn how to play better.

    Hmm let me see...

    When you plan in a clan game...you :

    - Know your teamies
    - Have practised various strats
    - Know who is your comm before the games starts
    - Know you do not have lamers in your team
    - Have an idea of how your opponents play (you do study your opponents right?)


    On a pub game, its a different ball game altogether - individual skill does not make up the lack of teamwork.

    Basically, saying pub players should get better is not really an answer.

    Anyways I think NS 3 is more enjoyable than NS 2 was, I especially like the grenade.

    It is being remade right now. Chances are it will come back when the remake is finished, just like nancy did. Sorry to tell you that.

    3.0 is superior in every way to all previous versions of NS.
  • smokingwreckagesmokingwreckage Join Date: 2003-02-10 Member: 13364Members
    Mostly seen good changes so far. 1.04 to 2.X was a great leap forward overall. Not much experience with 3.X beta X yet <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    3.0 is more fun too.

    Unless we are talking about combat... but I think we can keep this to regular NS only.

    3.0 is a lot more fun, yes. 1.04 was fun because it was new, but then people figured out the quickest and cheapest way to win.

    2.0 was a bit more of the same, and kind of got boring. 3.0, on the other hand, is a lot more fun.

    Anyway 1.04 was best for pubs
    2.0 Was best for clans
    3.0 is....well, Its steam compatable!

    3.0 is much better than the previous versions. Bugs got fixed, new features added, new game mode and so on.

    ...

    But no fun <b>in large classic games</b> anymore *waitingfornextbetaimpatiently*
  • AndervalAnderval &lt;3 Join Date: 2003-05-05 Member: 16073Members, Constellation
    i think 3.0 is a lot more fun than 2.0 was, though i still miss 1.04 bless it :< though i'm not sure if this is me just remembering the good bits.

    If 3.0 could be balanced for pub play as well as clan play it would be excellent, as currently on the server i most play on, marines have a win rating of around 25% which seems a bit poor considering the number of experienced players on there.

    3.0 is certainly more fun than 2.0 though <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I hated 2.0 when it came out, and now I miss it, I hate 3.0 now, even though I hate it, there has been major improvements that keep me hooked on this damn cyber crack.

    Yes, it has gotten better -and worse. Like taking two steps forward (fade and onos HP, 1280x1024 graphics) and one backwards (skulk HP, SC/Acid nerfing) -to make an example. Still, in overall, it has gotten better in most areas. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
