HL1 Mod NS - Come Join @ Wonga!
Posted: Wed Dec 28, 2011 4:31 am
Hey guys,
Lately, like the last 2/3 months I've got back in to NS again and I've got my basics back up again and I'm large pubbing/gathering.
I'm sure all of you have heard of the mod (if not the really bad sequal NS2 we won't currently talk about), it's available to download here : http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/download/
It's an RTS/FPS hybrid. Marines rely on a commander and alien classes are varied with builders and different types of attack and support units.
Yes there is a skill curve... I'm still a bloody terrible alien and a fairly good marine. That's pretty natural and the first 10 hours or so you play alien you probably won't have it figured out. Bunnyhopping is a pro quo as you're all more or less ex-TFC guys this won't be a problem.
NS_ Classic has commander on marine and aliens have 3 hives they must build. Chamber unlocks (upgrades, think SC style Zerg).
CO_ Combat is CS style XP based aliens v marines with no commander and 1hive/1console to destroy.
If you see the word "siege" in the title of the map, shit yourself, commit suicide, anything, it's not worth it and I'm still trying to get them removed from the server.
There's a good bunch of players at WongaNS server from the most serious, to the serious for fun, to the spammy and to the American there's different types of people and levels. For the most part yes NS players are arrogant shits, although say you're new and even the most serious (Necros/Ronnie in particular) players that are likely to arrogantly complain will offer a hand.
I pretty much just gave a big advertisement to try and get some of you guys there as it would be fun to see you guys around there and for those that prefer a challenge in their game or may not have played the game before.
Download link again is, http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/download/
Server ip: 83.170.71.174:27015 [WONGAns.com] - Classic, Custom & Combat
And Wonga NS Server normally populated 5PM-Very late.
As I said there's a skill curve, and I play regularly and as it's the holidayish season (I do have many drinking nights, card nights planned around this time and there are days I have to work but also another bank holiday and sunday left!) I can help people understand it who may want to join. It's easier to speak than to type it and also to show, although for the love of god don't talk to me about commanding... I have to start to do that and the only thing I can do is build order not spam
Anyways hope to see you spam me on Steam/in-game!
<3 Thal.
Oh and yes, I'm known as konata in-game and have been on NS for years, incase you're looking for me on the server.
EDIT: Just to give you an idea on the depth of the game. Just because you have exceptional aim does not mean you will be really good at this mod. That will help, although you can have average aim and good game sense and do better. So don't be put off with your skill in other games, you can quite easily be average/better than average by not being an idiot and also learning how to use a minimap, which is #1 thing to be looking at all game =] Although as I said if you do come in and play and want to learn there's a lot to learn which will easily become second nature!
And if you already know how to play the game and want to join in, there's a couple of links below you might want to check out for customisation:
9Legends replacement pack - http://www.ninelegends.com/releases/9l-ns-pack/
http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/static/ ... anual.html - "manual" for a quick-pro-quo at what is what visually and explanation. Although I can condense that to <5 mins of talk as you play.
