Well, I was there. Then I was frozen. Then I was there again. Then frozen again.
FTW!
Apparently despite the fact that I can play CSS fine, NS doesn't like me. It seems to be having problems with models, but who knows whats going on.
Anyway, randomly when I see any model, I apparently have a chance to freeze.

well at least you never see models, i mean its not like those are important or anything

There is a chance of it sniping better. But there is a chance of 5 pellets being 7 degrees outward of the center, too :)

i dont know if any of you guys have shot any kind of distance with a real shotgun, but its just about the same way. Ive hit whitetail from 25 or so yards with buckshot, you just point and pull the trigger, and its basically luck from there. Sometimes the pellets will fly all wild and sometimes theyll stay tighter.

So... are you basically agreeing with but clarifying quarter's post? I'm a bit confused.

He's justifying the NS team's reasoning, based on the fact that quarters post called it into question indirectly.
Remove the maps that end up emptying the server, and play maps that people like to join on (yes the extremely overplayed ones)
[snapback]54270[/snapback]
You mean two-three maps? Sounds like playing Dystopia, which now has TWO maps!
Correct me if i'm wrong, but NS is imbalanced in aliens favour?

nitey i fixed your post.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ truth
Hey, look! Everything is still dead, can we bury the mod yet?
And go to what? That's the real problem.
Honestly, I've moved to CS:S. Yes, a form of the mod I left for NS. It's not brain surgery, but it's mindless fun in the right community, and I've found a pretty decent one. Well adminned, not overly modded, and great group of regulars. LM is/was that, but the game that brought us together has died. So, what do we do, go to something like CS:S/DOD:S with more appeal, or just close the community?
[snapback]54322[/snapback]
I'd rather go to classic dod myself, too much of a nadespam fest in DOD:S. CS:S is almost the same as CS too, except it has ragdolls and more lag and worse netcode, so yeah. Pretty isn't a good reason to choose a game, if any of the source games get some more features besides physics then I'll jump on the bandwagono, LIKE VEHICLES!
CS/S... plenty of responsible and mature people...

Those don't go together.
And just because I can, I'll say it again: BF2 is not an option. In order to make a server ranked, EA not only demands that you give them complete access to your box, but will also greatly limit your access to your own box. And if a server is not ranked, nobody plays on it, or so I am told. This community doesn't have enough BF2 players to fill a server on its own, so it'd have to be ranked to attract players from outside. And a ranked server is out of the question.

BF1942 is a better option than BF2 lolol!

any game where you could call artillery on your own troops to FF is win in my books
I tried playing 3.1 the day after it came out, but the server was empty. I haven't tried since.

the lack of maps is already a given even with a full rotation, because there aren't that many maps to begin with (i mean, look at UT, it's just fragging over and over but they have dozens and dozens of maps, whereas NS ships with a stock of maybe a dozen, and only about half of them play well)
point is, there are some that are so bad people blatantly hate them so those would be candidates to be removed (like altair?) the others can be removed on the cycle but i dont think that prevents people from voting for them does it? true there will only be a list of 4-6 maps if we did some strict removal, but if you left them on, it would basically be the same 4-6 maps ppl ask u to change it to anyway
and yeah, it does get boring after a while of playing the same maps over and over, but we've had basically the same amount of maps since 1.03 (cant say for previous versions, i came in 1.03) and it's managed to survive somewhat. but i don't think we expect people to play for 4 hours straight either.. either way, the voting system will take care of nearly all map-related problems cuz it responds to exactly what the people want, not by percentages, but by numerical values, where highest voted wins.
[snapback]54456[/snapback]
You get at least 8 maps... 9 if you keep shiva, although it's looking like a server emptier on other servers... I personally think new eon is keepable if it's kept to the back of the rotation as well, but most people don't like it.
ns_metal
ns_caged
ns_lost
ns_nothing
ns_tanith
ns_veil
ns_eclipse
ns_origin
I used 2_of_8's list, but then I realized he included metal in it and was shamed. So that's 7 maps. Seriously, all those might not be eclipse ir tanith but they aren't server killers and are all definitely playable (except metal).
[snapback]54476[/snapback]
metal.. heh, funny quarter.
Caged, I've had the best 3 hour games a few months back on caged as an onos.
Lost, are you joking? Lost stopped being good once Greedo stopped working on it, right after he "fixed" the map.
Nothing, I used to love, but now I'd label it mediocre but still pretty, I hate how you can kill the MS vent too.
tanith, hooray for tommyd!
Veil, marines win, seriously I can win commanding this map with one hand.
Eclipse, overplayed to death in the first month, HURRY UP AND DIE ECLIPSE! It's like dust with less blinding textures.
Origin, I've always had fun with cloaking on this map, I'd have to agree on it being good.
