I've been playing NS for about a month or so now so i thought i might post my thoughts.
First up, this has to be the least newbie friendly mod i've ever played. I spent the best part of a week getting killed and being abused by my team. I can now understand why people get upset as the game is so finely balanced that any mistakes can cost you the game, that doesn't mean that players should start screaming abuse.
Despite this i carried on playing and i'm glad i did because i've found probably the best mod out there. I am amazed at the sheer design vision which shows through to all aspects of gameplay. I love how much of a true team game it is however fustrating it may be and how beautifully it works when players play together.
In the past month i've seen perhaps only a fraction of the total game and there is a heck of a lot that i still need to learn but i'd like to think i've got to grips with pretty much all of it bar some of the finer arts of being comm/gorge. I thought i might note a few highlights ( in no particular order ):
killing a skulk
saving a team-mate
killing 3 skulks without reloading
killing a fade
being scared silly by an onos when i opened a door
comm-ing to victory
and most recently pairing up with a guy called ManEater with HA/HMG and killing 2 Onos and several fades on our own. Magic.
low-lights would include:
First 2 days of abuse
Net-Tez <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> although thankfully only 1 of those
1 muppet who just kept selling all our stuff
I really hope this mod makes the change to HL2 and i look forward to V2.0 eagerly

If you can't comm.. don't try.. if you can't gorge.. don't try...
The most irritating is when you are Commander or Gorge and your team loses..
Moste people tend to blam the comm/gorge for that loss :/
Welcome aboard.
Anyway if u ever come across me <-- ACE ill either be ramboing as comm is crap
Following orders on a good day

Anyway welcome!
Building, comming, upgrading, taking locations, seiging..
Running, biting, climbing walls, using acid rocket etc..
Plus you tend to run into mostly other newer players because more experienced players enjoy playing on games of 12 or more..
My first few comming missions were done on small servers and still use them when I want to practice something...
Anyways, welcome to the forums and to the game... Good luck...
