<div class="IPBDescription">Will NS be going retail like CS did?</div> Natural Selection has more people playing it that Counter-Strike ever did at this time in its development.
My question is, Will Natural Selection be going retail like cs and tfc did?

    I dont think it will be able to, as fun as NS is, the Halflife engine was on its last legs 3 years ago!! heh,.. Half Life engine is Base off the Quake 1!!! engine, thats how old it is!

    Why did they Use the Half Life engine?, was it cause its easyer to program then UT or q3 engine?? or because Half Life has the Largest user base ?

    ever consider how long making a mod like this would take? Especially if you weren't getting paid to do it?

    I'm impressed they got such a mod out at all. Simply incredible!

    Doesn't seem like it will hit the shelf.

    Or at the least, DoD should be hitting it first, popularity-wise...

    But after the CS retail, everyone got a HL engine that would run any HL mod... why buy another one when you could download for free legally?

    I reformated my computer and needed to reinstall hl but couldnt find it so i got retail cs. IT SUCKS! in no way is it better then mod. The weapons are called stupid this like deagle is called nighthawk or some bs. And most other mods u dl u gotta cut and paste because they install in hl folder wich dosent exist in retail <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Um incase u did not notice... CS RETAIL includes the dam HL engine and just comes in its own folder basicly instead of being stuffed into the half life folder so it can use mods -_- why would it go retail in the first place? ***slaps himself***

    the reason they changed all the names of the guns(deagle-nighthawk) is because they can't sell a product using the trademarked names of the weapons

    I'd like to point out that CS had many more players at version 1.0 than NS does now.

    and how many public betas were there before 1.0? The first post was comparing the time in development of the two mods, not the versions.

    In a way I wish it would go retail only because it would hit the shevles in stores and it would become even more popular then now. But I mostly hope it doesnt so that everyone who is really interested in the game will know that they can get it for free and also it would help out the game alot knowing that the people came to them, not to some store in the local mall.

    more people play this then they do DoD, more servers also i believe. I do hope this will go retail but it would drag in a bunch of 56K's, but, theirs no game like this. People would buy it mad. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
