Skulk is fun, no one can hit you due to fast speed and lags/hitreg and you need only few bites to kill a rine. Flamethrowers are annoying though.

Haven’t bought it yet. Will it be better than brink post hype? :D

I think to even ask such a question is quite an insult to NS2 :D

Anyone interested in ns2 may trade me their earbuds for it, as i’ve got a second key. add me on steam :)

Cheers

I tested briefly the new D179 build last night. They had adder bigger tick rate to servers and server side improvements in general. Now the game is playable, not super smooth what you could a finished product to be, but it is definitely playable. You can actually hit stuff now without just spraying and praying (or jumping and biting randomly).

I also checked the dual view D179 videos from the Australian dude what I suggest you interested guys do as well. Game is clearly still quite unfinished, but what I was most happy about was that now game is way smoother and it’s playable for the first time. Lag so far has been insanely annoying. Will have to play it a bit now if I can find time.

If you can put up with the Australian accent, this persons channel is a great resource to see how the game plays

This is obviously beta gameplay, but will give you an idea of what the final product will be like

This video is the first time I’ve seen anything about Natural selection, it looks like an awesome game; I’m definitely pre-ordering it asap.

I wouldn’t mind trying the original mod, do you need to have HL bought or is it like TFC where steam just pre-loads it?

You need HL1 I think.
Check out http://www.ensl.org for the remnants of the NS1 competitive scene.
You’ll want to download the nineLegends customisation pack too, cos default setup is so horrible :D

The learning curve is steep, but it is easily my favourite online game of all time.

NS2 has improved so much compared to the first betabuild that went out to us who pre-ordered early. This will be AWESOME.
