ok, im not a noob i was just browsing through some of these topics and i have to wonder...am i the only one that ns just kind of made sense for almost the moment you got it? maybe the people in this forum are new to half-life or new to fps' in general...but take gorging for instance, i looked at my controls when i first got the game and i decided i wanted to be different because marines sounded a little too much like counterstrike at first. i joined a server, gorge was the only available option so i picked it, did a right click and checked out my options, i saw offensive tower: duh this must attack, defense chamber: not really sure but the only logical thing i could work out was it probably healed and i found out it did heal aliens/chambers. Movement chamber...didnt have anything specific in mind but i could see a bunch of upgrades around it so it was pretty self-explanatory too. well it doesnt take a genius to say hey all these towers cost a pretty penny so id better use that resource thing on that big metal circle with the white foam coming out. i dunno i guess my point is most of these things are pretty obvious so it makes me wonder why this forum is needed/used so much, anyone else feel this way when they first started?

this mod is so great in concept, the gameplay is good but could adapt some things to enhance it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
models, skins, etc are good
maps are cool too,... still getting used to some of them
Logic is in they eye of the beholder.
I mean that there was those "pop up" windows, if i looked at to the res node "Collects resources....for steady intervals (or something like that)", but it was pretty simple. And all alien weapons too. When i selected a weapon, that little window appeared in there again...i read it and after that i knew what that weapon does.
Only problem was that i thought that i can somehow buy a weapon from armory <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Marine side were pretty difficult at first, but somehow i learned <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Yah when I first started as a marine, I looked at the arms lab and I was like, "Cool, hook me up with some guns", cuz it has this panel that extends out as if it was intended to be accessed.
1. With the help menu on I still thought I could use all my attacks with one hive. - A day to figure it out
2. As a gorge, had no idea how to build ANYTHING - Maybe 3 days to figure out, with help from a friend.
3. Thought armourys had limited ammo - Was playing v1.03 where armourys didn't give ammo while upgrading, this messed me up until 1.04
4. Kept trying to get jetpacks from proto labs and hmgs from arms labs - Maybe a week to figure this one out
I'm sure there are more examples I could give, but this is all I remember.
On the subject about the manual... Some guy at NS should update the manual... The costs are not right and alien buildings need more info (HP?)... Also the armoy now allows ammo during upgrade... Someone should upgrade the manual... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Once i understood the game i looked at the manual and i thiught it was really cool how it gave back ground info and all the aliens and the 'six days in sanji' was cool...
That reminds me, i need to update the facigng worlds story in the BU forums!
When I played first time, I knew everything about the mod: weapons, upgrades, alien classes, buildings.
i was playing firearms or day of defeat.. dont remember, but people were saying "hey man, lets go play NS, its cool" i was like "whats NS?"
they told me natural selection so i dled it, tried it and here i am <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
i get annoyed when resources are takin a long time to get and then another person or 2 goes gorg so there are 3 <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->
