That was what I was going to recall on my reply :p And the amount of res one could waste on getting stuck on geometry with fades blinking on servers without the unstuck plugin...
I remember the mines on the doors of eclipse. Both doors would be so mined up the laser lights made my PC lag looking at them, then some alin would sacrifice/xeno one of the doorways and BOOM.
I also remember one of the earliest comm strats in pub play was turret crawling from RT to RT, with the fact turrets didn't stop when the Tfac died.
Babbler's were fun, but never really useful except clearing mines in a turtled MS.
Remember when lerk gas stacked?
Telefrag an onos by having PGs and IPs between you and your tech?
Lerk spikes should have never been removed, Power Silo was awesome with them.
I remember the communities' firm insistence on using the term "Bob". (fatty stuck though)

Yep, a first day guy here. 1st real server I played on was Coronos In Space, till Nitro made half the regs there join the OSS clan, which basically killed that server. Moved to Guns4Back2School and STILL havent left.
I played from 1.04 on and it was smoothly around 60~100 for me, not counting the laser limbo parties i crashed with my skulking. and the server with it.

OMG yes. This is what originally drew me to ns. This is the goal behind every one of my posts and suggestions. This is what I miss the most... Oh, and babblers, I loved those little guys.
If NS2 even partially has the feeling of old school ns, I'll buy it for all my friends just so I can play more.
Edit: I also miss threading my way past dozens of mine lasers as a skulk on tanith. I used to play against this one comm who instead of base defenses would just fill both entry corridors with mines on the floors and ceilings, which meant any skulk gutsy and agile enough to make it through had MS entirely to themselves :-)
I remember release day quite well actually, because I had gotten food poisoning from Taco Bell and between handing out candy to people I was vomiting my guts out. Then one of my canadian friends told me about it being released and bugged me to play it with him. Been playing it ever since.

i remember that i had to go to army few weeks after release of NS, then I was happy coming home on the weekends, to see my friends and family and especially playing NS :) was really a cool time (I mean playing the early NS, not going to army :P )
Ah the good old days. I remember beta testing the older versions of NS. There was time when egging would cause whole servers to crash and vets and constees were in fierce competition with each other.

I gotta fix it by being with ns2 from the beginning

Or 3 gorges running in to MS and spamming 10 OCs each... don't remember why that stopped happening.
"ok guys were seiging the hive...get those phase gates up. NOW MOVE MOVE MOVE."

"WTF ONOS IN BASE!"
Walking on a solid mat of turrets from MS to hive...
The days before Focus were good as well.
And trapping a Developer(Fla... =D) with a Command Chair Ball on the very first NS_Eclipse.
BABBLERS FTW !!!
* Note: Can't remember if it allowed you to pick up weapons as fake rine.

and the server with it.

p.s. Onos getting killed by closing doors was an instant classic.
Definitely looking forward to NS2 and happy for how far the game has come.
I sincerely feel that proximity mines with infrared trip beams make my life complete.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Mine climbing <3
I don't remember when I started, but I was around for a loooooong time.
You would say something like that. Unban my old account and I too will have a 02' join date.
p.s. NYC Lan was where it was at! ... More like nerdville U.S.A including myself ... I Regret Nothing!!
But back then i was better as alien player then now. Better marin.
Its allways been on and off playing this game.
