1.  How many maps are going to be released with the launch of natural-selection and do they have a lot of replay value?

2.  How do the stories relate to the game?

3.  When is Part 2 of the story coming out?

4.  How is it scored by?  Is it in rounds like counter-strike and when you all kill each other you start again?  Or like tfc where you die and spawn again?  Or when one team dies the map changes?

5.  Based on the previous question... how long does a map run on average (start to finish)?

6.  Will there be a lot of server..? especially UK ones?

7.  Any chance of a new progress report...  That one's been there for a while now ? <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

8.  Will the marine vs marine idea be released in a patch soon after the launch?  (A bit premature I know.)

9.  Can we expect a lot of crazy new ideas in future patches?

10.  Will I get to meet you lot (ns team) online or are you gunna go on vacation for a few month after the release?


Ok...


I'm sorry about this, but I'm pretty much a noob to this...  I've known about it since Merkaba told me a month or so ago on tfc.  I've missed a lot and want to gain knowledge fast!

Hopefully I wasn't too much of a bother  <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    hey I've never done this before so let me see how I do:

    1.  They are playtesting a lot of maps right now and deciding which will be in the first release, I've read there could be 5 or more quality maps that could be in the first release.

    2.  I think the official stories are pretty accurate with the game.

    3.  No clue?

    4.  I believe you build structures that you are spawned out of.  The structured are destroyed, you don't spawn.  You win the game by destryoing the other teams building and killing them I think.

    5.  They've said anywhere from 5 minutes to over an hour I think.

    6.  There will be plenty

    7.  They said they're getting close.

    8.  I think they want it for V2

    9.  They're wacky guys, so I bet so <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    10.  They certainly deserve a break <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    How did I do!?!?

    Bah.....Most of it seems true.  I am not even going to bother....Where is someone with a one minute or more attention span?

    Nice Bill, you're pretty much correct.  Also:

    3. Jeff is still working on the 2nd part of the Six Days piece, though he says he's got it over two-thirds complete.  He's busy cranking away on the NS manual right now, then he'll probably return to that story and get it finished up.

    10. I may take a short vacation but I'll probably be playing a lot too.  Probably the same for the rest of the team. :)

    Welcome!

    Whoa, Flayra answered your post.

    anyway ust another Question. Will the team be working as hard after Version 1 is out?
    I mean after they take a break etc, will they begin work straight away on new maps, models, guns etc?
    Sorry if this has been said

    I think they will take a break and let the people play a little bit, then this forum will be filled with ideas an critics and then they beginn to work on 1.1... then, after 1.1 or 1.2 they take longer break, brainstorming and so, and then tehy beginn to work on beta 2.... i think...
