Hi everyone!

My name is ShaD and I'm a NS-aholic... ohh wait wrong meeting.

As you guys may be able to see from my "Joined" date I'm not really a new player. I'm more of a old player come back to see what has happened since I've been gone.

I really enjoyed NS back in the 1.0xx days and I stopped playing when I became frustrated with some of the changes that had been made. The other day something reminded me of NS so I started poking around and decided to download it again. I've played a couple games and I'm trying to clean some of the rust off but I have to ask, "Where are all the servers?!" The in-game browser only shows 14-17 servers and most of them have 1-3 people. That doesn't seem like much of a game to me.

anyway, I'M BACK!

NS needs more players and servers. It's a fun and unique game, it truly is. If more people knew about NS they'd probably get hooked just like the rest of us. Go tell your friends to stop being noobs and play. biggrin-fix.gif Oh, and welcome back.
Angel_Eyes
Hello, My name is Jess. In Game I am known as Angel Eyes. Which I pulled that name from the movie: the Good, The Bad, and The Ugly in case if you are wondering. I fricken love this mod. IMO it rivals the quality of Counter Strike, but unfortunately doesn't have the same fan base. I seem to be having lag issues. I have DSL but the lag sometimes takes away from some great moments, it chops up the what should be some really fast paced action. So any help on that would be much apreciated
Sarisel
Post a topic detailing your problem in tech support. Include if the choppiness/lag happens only when you're around players or just at any time (even if you're on an empty server). Welcome to the nuclear winter.
Ceteral
Hello. I am Ceteral, as my name states. I hail from Mesa, Arizona. I learned about Natural Selection from a co-worker named hybrid and a zesty mad russian. I was intrigued, and found that I had no idea what I was doing when I tried to instal the mod. biggrin-fix.gif But hey, that's me! nerd-fix.gif
mirrodin
I'm not technically new, but I haven't played NS in over year. A lot has changed, mostly that I migrated all my systems to Ubuntu Linux, so I'll be trying to install Steam shortly. It's good to see some familiar faces.

Rin
Hello,

I'm not really new to NS but I AM new to this particular community. Natural selection was the first FPS (yes, first... someone recommended it) I started playing a while back and have loved it since. Well, until all I could find was ###### modded servers with extra menu poo. I visited the main unknown worlds/ns website and saw that Natural Selection 2 was mentioned so I just HAD to sign up and find out more... ;} I used to play on the NS armslab server as Stella. And uh... I haven't played an FPS since Natural selection either... O.o

I work at a computer shop and I'm trying to major Media arts and animation through the art institute. :}

Hi, I'm Lucid Dream I became interested in NS after hearing about it on the Geek Nights podcast. I'm not very good at FPS style games but even I can wander in from time to time. Now I just need to find a server to play on that won't kill me cause I suck at this at the moment.

Welcome to the NS community guys. If you play for fun, then have fun. It's sometimes hard to find good servers so if you find one you like be sure to favorite it. If you tire of public play, be sure to check out nsdojo.net

Shihamut
hello all. i would just like to say that i HAVE played natural selection before, but at that time i was still in elementary school (silly me biggrin-fix.gif) lolz. after playing NS for my 2nd year the computer created a new version of my OS which i beleive was XP/HE for windows. After installing and buying all the stuff for it i could not log back onto NS. its been at least 4 years since i have last even TOUCHED natural selection, and since hen im sure there are much more than the basic skulk,fade,gorge, and onos. If you wish to contact me in game you can find me on almost ANY FPS game with the acc name of Shihamut. i love your game btw ^.^

Hey everyone, been palying for a looong time, but joined the forums just today. Some may know me as "Tunafish" (waaaaat back... dont ask) or "Maniac" =) If some of u saw me playing these days, i apologize for sucking so hard, my computer desperately needs an upgrade (buying a new one with my next salary), i live in CYprus (although im Ukrainian) which is really far away from any civilized country <.< (just google earth it), and my internet provider sux. Well that about sums it up, Flopper out.

Hello everyone!

> Who am I?

Skulk-lovin', pistol-snipin', Flayra&Max-huggin', marine-bitin', nade-eatin', bio-nerdy (and I'm proud of it) son of... my mom! marine.gif

Piotr, but I've got used to be called Peter

> Where am I from?

Poland originally, currently studying in London.

> How did I learn about Natural Selection?

Well, I am rather new to this community (I had an account on the older forums with a 30 or so posts on my back - after spam-deduction of course), but not to NS! I played NS as soon as it came out. Than, as soon as the polish community web-site got created I've been part of it, posting news on the site and even made a polish illustrated-manual (marine part of it) for 1.04 version (at the time I had a nick name Xav!er, in case anyone remembers).

At the time when combat started to cause havoc all around the place I had to limit myself to an hour or so a week of knife-slayin' sweetness (aka NS) due to dull, personal-life responsibilities like getting through high-school to get into a good Uni etc.

Now, don't got time to play NS (because, suprisingly, I need study hard to get a good degree in a good Uni, so I can have a good job in the future! nightmare never ends it seems ;p), but I try to be up-to-date with whatever my favourite dev's (hetero-hugs, hugs, hugs!) come up with.

(quite a long "hi I'm new" post, isn't it?)
Wexx
Who are you?
Well, my name is Wesley. I am a high school senior currently, and I pretty much kill time by playing vidya games and playing the Saxophone in my High School's Jazz band and messing around with that with Audacity/Reason. Not really sure what I'm going to do after I graduate, but it'll probably be something to do with Computers and/or music.

Where are you from?
I was born in New Jersey, then when I was about 10 my family moved to Northeast Florida(more specifically, Fernandina Beach).

How did you learn about Natural Selection?
I honestly can't remember. I seem to recall talking about it in vent with some World of Warcraft guildmates a year or 2 ago and I've had it installed ever since. I only recently started really playing again, just lurking random servers and this forum.

Wassup.

I keep hearing about NS on a podcast I listen to, so I figured I would try it out and see if it is as fun as I have heard.

Like the dude above me, I am from the San Francisco Bay Area.

I play video games sometimes.

Cheers!

My name's Stillworks I'm from Ireland across the pond and currently in my last year of high school. I heard about NS through Geek Nights and decided to check it out. It sounded like fun and is. No let's just hope these rose tinted shades don't fall off. tounge.gif
Killer Ricochet
Hello, Unknown World!
I knowed Natural Selection from a long time, but just last year I could really play the game online (but I donh't play anymore 'cause of my lag that annoys everyone). So, I joined to forum community to try to help making the NS2 one of the best games of ever (because potential it has, Max and Flayra prove what wonders perseverance can do). I don't like using to much abreviations, writing without captalization or ponctuation and "wrting evrthng shrt lik tat lolz". Since I am from Brazil, sorry me if I write something (or everything) wrong.
So, I wish everything runs fine here.

Edit: Ah, and I discovered NS by myself, while surfing through HL Mods.
Shadovn
Greetings!
My name is Niko and I come from Finland.
I ran into this Half-Life mod in a Finnish game rewieving site, that reviewed this mod. The only complains were "too complex level design" and "sometimes there's really long matches", and it got 88 points out of 100 (this was version 1.02).
I like the idea of team-work and the Commander-system, although I'm sure that I'll be better and more use as meatshield than as commander. (okay I've played Dawn of War and Total Anihilation)
In this month (if I remember correctly) I bougth Half-Life 1 Anthology, and a couple of days later I remembered this mod.
So I downloaded Natural Selection, but I haven't yet tried it. I think I'll try combat on Tuesday or Wednesday. Hope I'll see ya then!
And Sorry if I made any spelling mistakes or such. It's 0:20 when I write this.

Next player then, please!
Deathwind
Why hello there!
I've played NS a few times before, when I first got Half Life some few years ago, but haven't really dwelled on the forums (nor the game, heh).
Known as Deathwind on some very small areas of the internet, from the west coast of America.
