1.0x has a lot of things that I miss, but I have to say that 3.0b4a is turning out pretty awesome. The races are arguably balanced, and we dont have that extreme slippery slope as seen in 2.0x's. Combat has actually shaped up to something thats sometimes enjoyable (BLASPHEMYOMG!). A few adjustments to the alien weaponery and I'll be satisfied <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I think 1.04 was the best version ... best as in "OMG, The brown is running down my pants !!!" reaction when you saw an Onos. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
A lot of fun if only because as a skulk (bob) I would get lost on some of the maps and end up going in circles for ages, and still enjoyed it.
And for the marine resource bug which, even though it ruined your game, always led to funny antics - at least on the server I played on (Doom Brigade represent).
I don't care what anyone says about atmosphere, there's nothing that compares to flying along at ludicrous speed as a Marine and gunning down every skulk that comes near you. As well as the ridiculous dodging you could do, it was so hard to die as a Marine.

i'd think 2.01 was, but id like to see 2.0z in action. from what the playtester's and admins were saying, it was like a whole different game. too bad they scrapped it <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I'm gonna break the current trend.... I like 3.0. I'm sorry, but i really do. It feels balanced and it's still fun to play.
Close second is 1.04 with it's epic games and fun jetpacks. The only reason 1.04 isn't my favourite is because roughly 75% of the games i played were crap. JP/HMG rushes just weren't fun, and considering that happened every single game, it bored the hell out of me. But i love the old-school Onos, it symbolised game over and was the powerhouse that it should be, In the last few days i've seen something like 30-40 Onii die, in all the time i played 1.04, i think i saw like 1, maybe 2, die.
In addition to my previous post I'd just like to say that I feel NS was a lot better back when games could last forever, I remember on The Doom Brigade server a game of bast that lasted near enough 6 hours and was fun all the way through.
A truly epic gaming experience and that had me hooked on NS for ages, recently with these rather quick games one gets now it doesn't have the same feeling of achievement you get when you win, nor the same atmosphere.
If NS1 is the first contact, and NS2 is the war.. omgomgomg. Do we get FIGHTER PLANES ala Tribes? That'd be awesome. I want to jump out of my Gorge Fighter and start bilebombing turrets.
Skulk: *Sneaks up and blasts Marine with plasma cannons!* Marine: SHAZBOT!

1.04 was the best, only because barely anyone knew to play and it was heaps fun
2.0 was good and a bit more balanced tho still a few problems
3.0 and counting- so far i have come to grow annoyed more than to enjoy because of cc blocking, mass electrified tf farms then turret farms, rediculous res **** and less team work is usually constant. mine spamming is still slightly annoying but in 1.04 itseemed mine spamming wasnt so bad as it is now. f4ing is now constant when a team is losing, and as for recycling a base just because "were losing anyway" is stupid

Definetly the way humans against aliens should be ;D

1.04 gave me alot of fun.
"Original Half-Life Networks" and not steampowered networks.
I remember the classic "Fade-Blink" and the "Babblers" what was extreme stupid.
