<div class="IPBDescription">HL mods are becomming ahead of my time</div> I tried and tried. I don't know the effort I put in to trying to become apart of the Ns community and be an alergable Ns player but for someone in my scenario it just aint possible.

<b>I live in Australia -</b>
<b>I don't really have a fast computer - </b>
<b>I have a 56k modem, which is bearly good enough for H-L!</b>

All of these put together bring my ping to hights no one has been to befor. My first time trying to play I got called a "stupid,****,high ping,n00b" after that experience I finally came to reallity that i'm not cut out to playing Ns.
So I say goodbye and I had fun while it lasted.....sorta.

Well atleast till I got a new connection or a new computer but i'm telling you.....that's going to be in a long time.

    Instead of leaving, put some effort into finding a half decent Natural Selection server (There are Aussie NS servers). If you can find an Aussie NS server, you should be able to ping acceptably. You say you're on a 56k? I'm on a 28k connection, and I can play NS because I play on a server that's located in Texas (While I live in Florida). What are your specs? I was able to play on a 600 mghz, with 128 mb of RAM, and an integrated Intel 810 videocard. And that was back when you couldn't even turn off dynamic lighting. There are plenty of FPS and ping tweaking guides around on the forums.

    Australian ns players seem to be the best in teamplay/strategy/clanning and attitude.

    Please dont let one persons comment ruin the game for you.

    Im also on 56k and cope since i found a server located near me.

    Give the game a secound chance find a server with people that are freindly and helpfull dont be put off by a single person.

    You may also want to have alook at this website for how to help you get the most out of that 56k modem.

    You can still do great on High ping, I know because I was there once. Try playing on local Servers, such as gamearena, and ignore jerks and you should be okay.

    What are your system specs? If possible try lowering quality to improve performance, it might not look pretty but at least it will work.

    Upgrade only as a last resort if you wish to continue playing.

    No offense to these boards, but being australian, you might get a better footing with the local goings on at www.AusNS.com Sign up to the forums and say hi. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    lol are you serious? im australian and i have always played on aussie servers until recently when there are only 2 remaining 2.0 servers. i consider myself an average player, but when i tried playing on american servers, BAM i was ontop straight away. i also noticed there are much more young kids playing and alot of people who have no idea what the game is about. some of the clans are pretty good though, but they still wouldnt stand a chance against some that frequent the aussie server i play on.

    Local, <span style='color:white'>Be nice.</span>. I'm well aware that the official site has the primary membership of the world's ns players. I'm just giving him another local option, which also has nothing to do with my adminship or not. Sigh.

    Don't worry too much, I once told the austrialians the tactics they used were horrible back in 2.0 and I was flamed for over 6? (i think) pages on their forums

    You ain't seen nothing yet
