can an admin plz sticky this
If NS Single Player evers comes along, even if it's 3rd party, I expect the team that worked on this to be there.
Encredible. Should be in the official release.
Th onos part scared me so badly! I was like "OMG!111 a heavy!11 ONOH PEWP!"
The recordings are clear, and get the point across with minimum bs.
Visuals: Gives me a great sense of infestation, of which I havent felt in a long while.
Greenie.... =] I was expecting a recording of a 13 year old going "OGMF u NOOB BULD TEH OBS!111"
Okay. 'nuff reading. Download this... And Sticky it!

second that.
*passes map link to just converted newbs*
ill be releasing version 2 hopefully within the month along with some pretty big changes graphically and training wise so keep checking back
That's a 100% incorrect way of looking at things, in order for a training map to be complete it certainly needs a way to learn the differences between aliens and marines..
1) look at other strategy games, u dont get training for all the teams, cos ppl wont sit thru more than one training mission, most ppl want just enough to get them going, as they find training boring
2) theres no way i (or any other mapper) culd blagg an alien training map like i did the marine map, i wuld of made one if it was technically possible to do everything ud expect from it, but its just not, it wuld require much more coding than a marine based one
<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Except in other strategy games, you play the same interface.. NS is different.. melee vs. ranged weapons, it's shared/solo res.. That kind of difference can't be conveyed by only a marine based map.

Yes, I agree, it's currently impossible based on how NS is setup to support such a thing...
Very comprehensive training, as long as the new players can understand english they are fine. Also, it was a very atmospheric thing. Despite playing NS for 3 years and seeing all sorts of things, playing it just now in single player mode, albeit as a training map, was stunning.
The atmosphere...check. Suspense...check. Fear...check. It could be really awesome.
Yes you get TOLD what the Kharaa are, and what their different classes are, but PLAYING them is quite different <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
only one of the 3 links works.
