<div class="IPBDescription">Discuss....</div> Well, I've played on about 7 different servers today, co-maps, and classic. Always about half-way through the game I get called a hacker, then I get kicked about 15 minutes later for "hacking" I mean, WTH? I'm a fairly good player, but I never figured myself to be called a hacker. Well my point is that every server I go to I get kicked by the admin for being a "hacker" when all I have done is play the game. I have been playing since 1.04 and thus I am pretty good at the game, but no matter which server I join I get kicked!!

and a 24/7 combat server at ns.clanhk.org:27016
Just like he said, it really depends on the server you play on, almost everyone that goes here is very skilled and people do not get treated any diffrent for being an amazing player. So no i do not think this game is turning into CS at all... just find a non-noob server and you will see.
When did the term "smurf" start appearing in games? I know where it originated from, but I don't know when it was first used in games. The first place I've seen it used extensively is in warcraft 3...
If you want to play NS to play NS, then find good servers and become a regular there. There are idiots in every game.
Have you tried playing on cheating death required servers?
I second that.
Just look at the servers atm, alot of them are perma CO servers.
Then you get players coming in to the Classic NS and they go, hey how come i can only get 1 upgrade? ( as aliens ) or you get things like How do i buy upgrades and weapons? Or things like how do i build or simlpy alot of ress****s..
then after they realise that the gameplay requires teamwork etc they go this sucks and suddenly ( like on several servers i played on today ) half the team leaves ...
you wouldnt believe how many CS lee7 players come to NS, play combat and then say NS classic sucks ****.. and you thenn think well no loss until u start seeing alot of pub servers cater exclusively to these Death match CS players and go CO only..
seriously, CO has had a bad effect and hasnt attracted the right kind of players to NS..
I hate that. Next, Flayra adds AWP and headshots. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
And honestly....I've kicked the habit of playing combat a looong time ago because it was just like CS. It's good when you do want a break from regular NS though (And surprisingly, this was one bad point about NS....only 1 mode of gameplay :/)
I won't be surprised if people suddenly play MvM or AvA all day when NS actually supports it....
No its not. Don't blame the game for playing on a bad server.
Yeah, guys, any moment now, the marines will need to defuse a bomb in the core generator, while the aliens try to stop them. Actually, that sounds kind of nice.

smurfing originated from RTS games i think. it's when someone plays under the name of someone else in a match
in a cs type world it's commonly refered to 'ringing' or 'slutting'
Thats sounds pretty good
But how do you stop the aliens from camping the terminal/escape pod
Oh wait, they never do something as smart as that on pubs <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Hmmm, wouldn't this be a little like cs though, except you have to weld a computer terminal and get out?

Ringing is playing for a clan that you aren't part of.
no. Go read the CAL rules if you don't believe me, it specifically disallows ringing.
i played CS way waaay back when CS was still considered a team orientated game where it was a simul between Ts and CTs .
nowadays the typical map rotation on the majority of servers is Dust, Aztech, bloodstrike and Dust2 , heaven forbid theres some Hostages to rescue cos they are out of luck.
this is what happens when the moders sell out to Valve or to the DM community. CS is no longer CS, it may as well be called Quake CT vs T.
you may /shrug and say its only a game. Sure it is, then one day u log back on to play NS and all u see is CO maps and u wonder WTH is happenning.
I can trace the term back personally to when "Warcraft:Orcs and Humans" was played on Kali. Some extremely proficient players would log in as "Papa Smurf," "Smurfette," and other random "Smurfy" names.
It may go back further, but as Warcraft was my intro to the RTS world, I wouldn't know about it.
As far as NS becoming CS. I think the game its self will retain it's originality, however, I have noticed the player base degrading not in numbers but in sportmanship and general conduct.
