Well, trying anything once is fine but the cross dressing, I wouldn't admit to that!  :lol:

OK ten votes all would try it once so I've gone and installed the server:

url: bagpuss.bigfatcat.co.uk:27015 (IP 213.152.32.253:27015)
pwd: pisschips

So come have a go.

Well Urang Utang and me played NS for about 90 mins this evening!!!!
Well not played, learned. It is a complex beast but I can see it being totally enthrawling teamplay, with one commander running the show and the troops out there taking orders. The aliens look superb, UTang tried every one I think, even the flying one and the big one like a rhino. I even tried the jetpack which was fun.

I think we should arrange a trial game for an hour one evening to try it out with more players. Pings are apparently a bit higher on NS and sure enough my lan ping was 30 ms as opposed 5 or 6 with CS. But UTang had notlag on 130ms so it could work.

I'll post a new topic to canvas support for a game sometime.

I think these defence towers are the most important part. If your commander gets killed then the Marines fall apart. You tried though and I did have 4 of them trained on you!  8)  I thought the flying bat thing was smart.
