========================================================= Title : Simulated [Public Beta 1] (March 23rd 2003 Build) Filename : ns_simulated.bsp Game : Half-Life Natural Selection Author : Ryan Heeley aka BMTwigzta Email Address : BMTwigzta@dsl.pipex.com Web Address : http://www.bmtwigzta.tk Description : Shortly after the initial battles between the Frontiersmen and the Kharaa, the officials of the Trans-System Authority began to realise Frontiersmen with experience would soon retire, either by their own will or by the unruly claws of a kharaa beast. In order to counter the future loss of men with experience, the "simulation" was created. Simple in layout yet effective in teaching the basics of new recruits to the TSA roster, the simulation allows those who attend to join a simulation of an active battle between a Kharaa hive segment and Frontiersmen outpost segment. Those who attended were soon surprised by the replacement of Kharaa "drones" with the technology to allow Frontiersmen to simulate alien enemies, which enabled further understanding of Kharaa advantages... and limitations. The simulation is often used in the training of new Frontiersmen and has appropriate space for improvement, let there be any changes to either of the two warring sides. ========================================================= * Info * Single Player : No Cooperative : No Teamplay : But ofcourse New Sounds : Yes - ReadyRoom sample taken from Gorillaz - Left Hand Suzuki Method Rumble sample taken from WWF (now WWE) or some other sport (not entirely certain) New Graphics : No New Sky : No ========================================================= * Construction * The Map : Made from scratch Editor(s) : Valve Hammer Editor 3.4, Notepad, ZHLT, Goldwave Known Bugs : Still revising more reliable ways to start the opening countdown for each round.
