    NS can be relativly easily ported to the source engine for HL2, VALVe specifically designed the source engine to be very Mod-friendly.

    heheh, and that was a good comparison to a wife.

    /ME WANTS 1.04...besides I've never played it before, and it sounds amazingly fun. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
    i host all available ns downloads on my site including every single ever released client install i can find <a href='http://www.brywright.co.uk/downloads/files/index.php?dir=natural-selection/' target='_blank'>http://www.brywright.co.uk/downloads/files...ural-selection/</a>

    ns 1.0 can be downloaded here:
    <a href='http://www.brywright.co.uk/downloads/files/index.php?dir=natural-selection/install/old_versions/&file=ns_install_v1.exe' target='_blank'>http://www.brywright.co.uk/downloads/files..._install_v1.exe</a>

    ns 1.04 is a server side patch so unless u will be running a server for it (listen or dedicated) then you do not need it installed but if so dl it here:
    <a href='http://www.brywright.co.uk/downloads/files/index.php?dir=natural-selection/server/1.0/&file=ns-v104.zip' target='_blank'>http://www.brywright.co.uk/downloads/files...ile=ns-v104.zip</a>

    This must be the 50th topic on the matter. Boring.

    It really was not that good... It was amazing because it was different from EVERY other mod out there, but now that effect has worn off and people want some of the things they see in other games they love, such as competative and balanced play, lower lag, and diversity. These werent really there in 1.04...

    LAG was huge. Marines just JP/HMG rush. Every game. and aliens almost always won if jp/hmg rush failed.

    I think that this is just one of those threads that are based on three(3) things.
    <ul><li><b>Old feelings</b>: When NS was new to me, I got better adrenaline rush from it. Bring back the version - I hope I'll get that rush again!</li><li>Second is community. In the days of 1.04 and early days of 2.0 there was less servers, <b>more teamplay</b> and vets tried to teach newbies using voice.</li><li>Third and perhaps most important is human nature. <b>People fear change.</b></li></ul>But be honest:
    1. You will never get back the feeling of first time, just like your first kiss happens only once.
    2. When community expands, then individuals are forgotten and community breaks up in smaller groups.
    3. Usually people learn how NS worked in the old days. When game mechanics change they feel like something is taken away from them. One example is JP/HMG rush at the old days. It was unbalanced. Good player with high FPS could fly with JP forever, HMG did full damage to structures so that was a ultimate weapon ripping hives down in seconds.

    Guess what, old days are never coming back. Carpe diem - sieze the day! Enjoy new challenges and remember past - but don't dwell in it.

    well, you know there is this little thing called the filter. put Ns_ in it and you only get NS games!

    And imo NS 3.0 is just like NS 2.0's style game. They really havent changed the NS mode much...

    <span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>and imo co sucks too.</span>
