    I'm not saying it's a rip-off or anything, it's just that it ISN'T the first FPS/RTS, and the main marketing slogan is false <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Personally, I don't really like the game, but hey, some people seem to love it (not sure why, but then again, I like nethack, so...), so I'll leave it to them to decide what they like <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->


    Anyone find it odd that the first post simply asked if NS was a good game, and it became a discussion about how one is better than the other? It's too bad S2Rocky made the first post... which was just flame-bait, starting the whole thing <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> (I suppose he figured that there were no NS fans that were going to post on the topic).

    Anyone have links to Allegiance forums/sites/irc channels? Does it still have enough actives to play games regularly?

    So is NS if you listen to what most highly-ranked clanners have to say.

    I think you're just going to have to expect some people to attack Savage with this kind of controversy in the air. They just don't know that they're doing more harm than good. NSPlayers don't all visit this forum. You can post all you want, but it's not likely to do any good. This is the kind of rivalry that you will just to have to suffer.

    They, the people who took a chance and bought Savage without really knowing anything about it, are going to come here and bash this game. Their community is new and it just doesn't know better. It's inevitable. And some of us are going to retaliate. Because some of us also don't know better.

    Whoa, great people defending ns on the Savage forums... It's sad to have people like that slipping to another community <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> .

    I doubt JohnnySmash's and others great reasonings shall create a fan database hop from Savage to NS though... Maybe the only minus NS has it's the fact it is a mod. You first have to pay for Half-Life, and then you have to download the big package. It's worth it though <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> . But I doubt even if a thousand Bubble Bobble fanboys would come here to tell us reasons why BB is better, I woudln't switch over.

    Respects for the Savage authors and community, except for S2Rocky. How could such an ignorant idiot become an administration on a retail game forum? One thing we have here in the NS community over the Savage community is better admins/mods <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    "the comm doesn't hand out the weapons like in NS"

    This just reminds me of Science and Industry where everyone has to agree on a weapon/upgrade and vote for it inorder to start its research. I personally have played both, but just as I play dod over bf1942, I like NS better because its not so open (that and I am disgusted at bf1942 weapon models)

    nobody does.
    it's the admin's fault he talks crap about ns...
    they always keep saying "NS is nothing special because hl engine is very limited, so it's crap, and let's drop the NS subject, cause Savage owns this game"

    Aye, S2Rocky rather put his foot in his mouth with his post. I hope for the companies sake he's not their PR manager <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->


    Both NS and Savage are great games in their own way. Neither was the first of its kind, nor for that matter will be the last. I play both, and enjoy both.







    But I do play NS more <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    LOL Thats a flat out lie. I can hop in any savage server, command with my feet up sipping tea.



    NS I have to scream at people and end up crying on my keyboard. Where will YOU play if that happens to you?

    So very, very true. There's not a whole lot to commanding yet in Savage. As players get better and possibly more organized, it might become something of a challenge, but right now its just get the upgrades as fast as possible, and hope your team can stop beating on the Monkits and Chiperels long enough to attack the enemy.
