A new version of SI is coming out, and promises to bring new life to this mod, where you are an employee of a company that produces weapons! Object of the game is to out tech your rival and win the game!

Would you like a server to be run, to give it a go?

If you don't care, you may close your browser window! ^^

I haven't played you in years, but I'm willing to take you back into my heart once again :)

Go for it, lb.

Post by: Grimm on December 25, 2003, 10:03:34 PM: I've always enjoyed a good random game of S&I to break the monotony of my daily NS intake, and a re-vamped version should prove more entertaining.

Post by: MrMojo on December 27, 2003, 05:00:59 PM: Love it. Keep it. Considering how few servers it has, good servers would really help.

Post by: BobTheJanitor on December 30, 2003, 11:52:52 AM: Played this with some friends a month or two ago; I loved it, they found it dull, and I could never find anyone playing on steam. Awesome to see that people are actually playing it now. If I can tear myself away from NS tonight I'll be sure to jump in for some SI action. Wooohooo!

Post by: esuna on January 27, 2004, 06:15:01 PM: I've never played this before, i've always meant to, but never got around to it. Anyway, i'm downloading it now. It sounds fun.

Post by: Lightning Blue on January 27, 2004, 06:32:31 PM: Except I killed the server because it was never used. :rolleyes:

Heh, i noticed. It wasn't hard to scan through the 6 servers listed by Steam to notice it wasn't there. :)

Still glad i downloaded it though, it looks fun.

Post by: lolfighter on January 28, 2004, 01:43:26 AM: It still has the problem that drove me away from it in the first place: It's incredibly hard to kill anybody in less than one magazine, no matter what weapon you are using. The weapons have that boring "olo that tickles"-feeling.
Title: Science And Industry!
Post by: Venmoch on January 28, 2004, 02:17:50 AM: True. The weapons never felt "right" there just wasn't enough feedback.
Title: Science And Industry!
Post by: BobTheJanitor on January 28, 2004, 08:16:00 AM: I've said it before and I'll say it again: AUTO-BUNNYHOPPING! Do I need to say any more than that? It bunnyhops for you automatically! JUST HOLD SPACE! Wow.

And yeah, this mod could benefit from a lot of feedback. It needs more things to make it strategic rather than just a free for all deathmatch. If they don't want it to just be another CTF game with scientist-shaped flags, they gotta fix quite a few things.

But hey, AUTO-BUNNYHOPPING!!!!!
