    i saw some people using as a Skulk their hands and nails for attacks
    i tryed to find out what button taht makes happen but i couldnt find it.

    Do somebody know how Skulks can use their sharp nails for attacks ?
    I also had the feel some people can do somehow very big jumps with their skulk

    Only waht i can do is just run around and bite (and die). <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::skulk::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Pipoo:

    It depends wether you're playing Classic or Combat. Look at the scoreboard while playing. The map name should be somewhere near the top in brackets. If the map begins with ns, then you're playing Classic; if it says co, then it's Combat. Eaxamples of Classic maps are ns_bast, ns_tanith and ns_nothing. An example of a Combat map is co_daimos.

    Skulks need their third ability to use "leap". (The animation sounds most similar to what you describe.)

    To get leap, you need to
    - get two hives up (only on Classic)
    - purchase "unlock next ability" (only on Combat).

    To use leap, select your third weapon by pressing 3 (the default key). When you press fire, you should hear a little screeching sound and leap a fair distance. Note that you leap towards the center of the screen, so you may not seem to leap if you're looking at the ground.

    Leap does hardly any damage, but you can use leap, then switch back to bite (weapon 1) in midair.

    ....hi

    just testing out my new membership.

    i've played ns for a long time and never bothered to become a member, and since i'm getting a clan together in the near future i thought i'd make the appropriate connections.

    see you on the front lines <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Hey, I'm Phil, but I'm better known as Dinn. I'm from a town in Ohio that no ones ever heard of, and I learned about NS from a friend of mine who was pretty hardcore about it. He goes by either Dekard or Dyshein. anyway, I have lots of free time, and will probably beplaying alot in the future. I'm new and willing to learn. I was also wondering if there will be a NS mod for H2.

    Hello everyone. I'm Matt from Ontario, Canada. I actually started playing NS quite a while ago, but due to problems with my copy of Half-Life I wasn't able to get it working for quite some time (I think around 9 months or so). It has finally been fixed, though, and I'm definitely looking forward to playing NS again (downloading it right now).

    I first learned about the game from posters on the GameFAQs message boards. They were talking about it back when it was still pretty new, so I decided to give it a shot. I found it fun, but my computer was really terrible so it lagged me quite a bit. Hopefully now that I have a better PC I'll be playing a lot more often.

    I go by the name Lahey in-game, if that matters.

    Hello all,

    I'm an aging gamer and I was introduced to the world of computer games with Commodore and Spectrum (and Nintendo etc) back in the days.. I still play regularly when I have some free time from work and family.

    I stumbled across NS quite a while ago while reading some gaming-related discussions in Slashdot. One poster referred to this obscure Natural Selection MOD for Half Life (a game that I did not own at the time) praising its team play qualities and superb community. After a quick look around on the NS website I just added it to my To-Be-Checked bookmarks folder, where it lay dormant for almost a year. Then finally, in the beginning of 2004, with all the hype from HL2 and Doom3, I decided to buy myself a brand new PC for gaming, which came with a coupon for Valve games (some ATI promotion)... and along with it came HL. Soon after I found the NS link again, checked the site, was impressed with the story-line and feature list, downloaded the mod and spend <i>hours</i> in the spectator mode trying to learn the game. I've been hooked to the game ever since. I prefer defensive and supportive roles, so you will see me gorgeing a lot or being the welder / miner / scanner / guy-covering-your-backs.

    Hello from another new player!

    I heard about the mod about a year ago, but actually "discovered" it just two days ago while browsing Steams mod page. Been playing like crazy since then <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

    I have to say the mod is very well produced. Audio and visuals are top notch, considering the age of the engine used! The atmosphere/environment is greatly executed as well.

    Of course, nothing is perfect. The physics cant always keep up with rest of the game, players getting stuck occasionaly, clumsiness of flying and wall walking...etc. Some bugs here and there, but understandable because of the mod is still beta.

    Anyways, so far its been a great experience discovering new features, strategies and other elements of this fine mod. I agree about the higher learning curve compared to other mods, but once you get past the initial learning phase, its all pure enjoyment.


    See you on the servers! <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Hi there! Funnily enough i have been playing ns for 2 years but i hadn't untill quite recently descovered the ns website which was in the process of beeing rebuilt! But now the site up i have learned just how big the ns community actually is! I love the game personally play it every night from the time i get home from work untill about 2 in the morning, mainly because i lose track of time in the game because i find it so much fun!

    It is a well made game and my server gets full every night with players wether they are new or been playing ns for years.

    kablooiedt you need Steam and Half-life 1 to play ns.

    Mr Wobberly there are no 'permanent ranks'. In a short combat game (co_ maps) you can get xp and a rank which just gives you more points to spend on equipment for that round.
