To balance out Natural Selection with all number of players. They need to make it balanced for 1v1.

Take your NS related jibber jabber out of Off-Topic!

That would be extremely hard. And I don't see why it should be balanced 1v1, does anyone play NS for 1v1s?

I think we have made this thread adequately off topic. It can stay.

And I have played 1v1 classic, but really it isn't that good....

Horribly alien-sided. One person has to comm/build/explore/kill things, while an alien gorge has infinite resources after capping maybe 4 nodes. It actually gets hard to drop enough OCs to run yourself out of res....

Sounds like a good job for <a href='http://www.modns.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=1011' target='_blank'>Mr. Gnome</a>, all around fun guy who builds / welds twice the normal speed, ideal for 1v1 ... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Agreed. You can attempt to balance 1v1 individual encounters all you want, but the chosen area of the map has too much of an influence to make the statistics meaningful (is there a vent for the skulk to ambush? is it dark?). And stats for longer term 1v1 are useless for the quoted reasons.

By this point I see little reason to continue the thread, so I'll lock it before it gets more spammy.
