I'm new to NS, and my internet connection has been sucking for the past few months, so I've had a rough time getting into it
Comm mode is fucking WEIRD, and there isn't enough documentation to help you out

"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

I couldn't get it to work on my machine, but it looks pretty freakin' cool.

Natural Selection is revolutionary, I tell you. The combination of Real-Time strategy and first person shooter is incredible, especially in the moody, Aliens-like maps the mod creators made. It is a lot of fun. There is nothing like moving into a hive with a team of marines, checking corners and covering eachother, and then having a skulk leap out of the shadows and eat your face. It is great!I couldn't get it to work on my machine, but it looks pretty freakin' cool.
they are making big changes to Command mode in version 1.1- for instance, you will have a sidebar with the names of your marines, their locations, and their health.Comm mode is fucking WEIRD, and there isn't enough documentation to help you out
Still, despite the sort of clumsy command interface, the feeling of manipulating a team of soldiers like you were playing StarCraft, but hacing them be real humans, is quite awesome. Nothing like the confusion of a messy firefight!
The first time I played NS it ran soooo slow on my comp I really couldn't do anything (this is the comp that could run normal half life and counterstrike effortlessly).
But when my new comp comes in, I'll probably try to get into the NS gaming community.
