<div class="IPBDescription">of NS</div> So what do y'all think was the best version of Natural Selection.
I for one hate focus and combat, but now they cant remove them cuz everyone's addicted to it.

I'd say 2.0 was NS's high point (except for the lerk).

just vote and give a reason for your vote

    It's a tossup between 1.04's playability and the final 2.0 build's balance...though 1.04 would probably win because it was a lot more atmospheric...

    Version 4.0?
    5.7?
    6.66?


    I think it doesn't really matter, so long as you enjoy playing said version...

    1.04 and 2.01b were both pretty good, with balance going to 2.01b obviously and 1.04 for fun factor

    2.0 for playing in CAL/scrimming.

    1.04 was just so **** fun though because it was so new to everyone.

    I agree partly, just 1.04 was SO unbalanced... Yet back then...
    celerity was so fast it was its own nerf...
    onos was magical
    fade's blink was teh pwn !
    mines were recognised as useful, and marines had the power to go into a mass rave and crash the server with billions of mines


    and everyone knows what the C4 icon was for.........

    those were the days...


    Thanks NS team for curing my addiction !

    edit: sup Maveric.. in reply to what you said, I dont enjoy playing said version, and thats why i made this poll.

    3.0, when it goes final. Were very close to perfect balance, and once its achieved- thank God himself.

    I'd have to vote for 1.0x ... sure it had it's issues, but I can say with certainty that it was the most fun I've ever had in NS.

    2.0 was great, it fixed so many issues, but... it didn't feel the same, and 3.0... well I really shouldn't comment until 3.0 is out of testing...

    This man speaks the truth.


    Though I'd say 1.04 simply because the community wasn't **** back then (no open vet program!) and you could post on the boards and talk to Flayra about things.

    1.04 and 2

    2 was balanced, but 1.04 was alot more fun.

    3 has ruined NS for me. Combat is boring and highly unbalanced. In normal NS the game has been decided within 5 mins, acid rockets are worthless, so is web, so is charge by the time you've got it, xenocide is usless by the time you've got it because who is skulk when you have 3 hives?

    1.04 had babblers, GOOD mines, turrets that worked, web was in the right slot, lerks weren't nerfed, fades could do alot more damage.... sure it was unbalanced but it was fun

    2 was balanced. However i didnt find it as fun as 1-1.04

    I don't no wether i've just become used to NS and it's no longer atmospheric, but i don't like it as much as i used to. I blame most of this on combat. How many v3 servers are combat only now? How many of them run combat every other map? How many have time limits of 10mins +? Combat should last about 5 mins MAX. Otherwise the marines just camp marine spawn.

    Id have to say 1.03, just for the auto sieges those things where feared by gorges. Plus the community was alot better back then on won you actually got to know most the people you where talking to.

    Hehe ziggy still see Angry from time to time on the Yo clan server, must say i miss the old warservers.

    My favourite memories are from 1.04, but 2.01 is the superior game.

    Aye. 2.01 is the better, more balanced game, but back in the days of 1.04, there was just so much fun to be had. Marine victories were like 87%.

    1.04 or 2.0..not sure. 1.04 for old times sake, better memories. 2.01 was more balanced.

    1,03-1,04 was teh friggin win. It was the bestgame I've ever played but after 4 months of playing it began to be abit boring (HAD ALREADY MOVED ON TO NS_SIEGE05) and began to anticipate 2.0 and it was actually darn fun at first, then a month later, when more exploits were discovered, more people knew about them. And then came 2,01 which were abit more boring than 2,0 but still kinda fun and balanced.

    Conclusion: Give me da friggin 1,04 back!! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    1.04 (before jetpack rushes)

    Fades and Oni were something to be afraid about back then.
