Topic: Weekly Top 10: GREATEST AUSTRALASIAN NS1 PLAYER

Welcome to the weekly AusNS Top 10!

Each week we'll poll the forums on random subjects, posting the results on the weekend. Users who contribute the most entertaining posts will be featured on the front page and will also receive a custom title of their choosing.

This week's topic:

Who is the greatest Australasian NS1 player?

An easy enough question to ask, but not as easy to answer. Can you remember any names from the old days of regular competitive play? Let's hear them.

THE RULES

  1. There are no rules

  2. There is one rule, the above rule

Obviously you cannot select yourself. What we do want from you is to give a short description of why you chose your candidates, no dissertations, half a paragraph per person (categories such as individual skill, ability with either race, superlative teamwork, exceptionally friendly etc. would be great) would easily suffice.

Feel free to discuss other peoples entries, we will tally the results at the end of the week and announce the winners.

|R18|dude -  A forgotten hero that was questionably one of the best FPS gamers in Australia at the time.

Most people in the community probably didn't have the opportunity to play with or against him unfortunately.

Also another player i highly rank who never gets mention would have to be Xzi. This guy was a fucking mean player.

Dude is a great choice - I cant think of anyone who was noticeably better then him, especially as a rine (although the list of 'as skilled as' could be arguably large) and he was always nice to deal with as well

sic*
NSP
mystic
darkz
DMT

i mainly say these guys stand out cause they didnt really have a 'player' ego, just played fuckin awesome everytime and didnt carry on about anything and to be the 'greastest' player, doesnt that mean you have to be the greatest at everything the game has to offer? not just marines or aliens, but both sides and how you carry yourself as a player and your team/teamwork?

other champions tho

maloo
intrik
sin
instant
chitmunkey
elb & N3 (cant forget the comms)
python
rathau
apt
boomser
xzi

Supernatural
Chitmunkey
Nooblander
mortien
eiko
Kal (May have not have been greatest player but definitely one of the greatest influences to the clan scene and making sure community was active and continuing, one of the few people to actually be an influential part of both AusNS admins and NSPlayer).
Solus
J
Jason (not to be confused with J)
Blacknova
python
Superbeast
haymo (also add bonus points for amazing effort in 3.0 to help resurrect the clan scene, NSP-Farm etc).
mR FlaK
dude


I'm sure there are a few others i've forgotten which i'll update this post later to add since this was all kinda off the top of my head.

Re: Weekly Top 10: GREATEST AUSTRALASIAN NS1 PLAYER

lol this would turn into such a shitstorm on the old ausns forums. (is that the intention of this thread too tongue?)

|R18| Dude for being the most amazing marine I ever saw, awesome at aliens, very consistent, as well as never being a douchebag (unlike some other notables).

SiniStar - constantly impressed me as aliens when not many other players could. (had awesome marine aim too but who didnt)

NSP - another guy that consistently played amazing. (also carried the tfc clan i was in to a much higher spot than we deserved big_smile)

eiko - great skills, great guy, highly consistant after he fixed his internet problems

This really only covers the first 2 or so years of ns (i.e. before the time of squad 5, boost, etc). Also, in my opinion, NS had a relatively low skill ceiling and purely gameplay skill wise, there were alot of people at the top at various times. The best players were the ones who had the best teamwork and coordination.

Re: Weekly Top 10: GREATEST AUSTRALASIAN NS1 PLAYER

solus is a machine and he knows it smile and he played planetside with me.

but for most improved, sd (who started off as .SST. Wildman81) who left SST (and the game, supposedly) saying he 'got caught hacking and quit'. a new steamID and a few months later, a strange new person, sd, comes out of ass nowhere with seemingly no affiliation to anyone and suddenly gets in s5. how did he improve so fast? we will never know sad
oh, and he also played planetside with me ;D

ps. haymo should learn to drive a magrider better

Re: Weekly Top 10: GREATEST AUSTRALASIAN NS1 PLAYER

- solus was the only player i'd see on the other team and think "well shit we'll probably lose this one"
- blacknova, aptivous & r3d were the bomb back in the day smile

Re: Weekly Top 10: GREATEST AUSTRALASIAN NS1 PLAYER

Was never a competitive player but if you ran into Marine Dude on a public server you know the team he was on was going to win from morale alone.  He wasn't the best player but his personality and team work made pub servers a pleasure to play on.

BEE - guy was an absolute champ and a machine

TBH, you can't really have a top 10, seeing as most of the top players people say came from (or peaked in) different eras.

Re: Weekly Top 10: GREATEST AUSTRALASIAN NS1 PLAYER

Gonna go with Pheus here, Dude for marine and SiniStar for Aliens, guy was a machine.

Not sure if Superbeast is having a dig or not, but sE was actually quite good when he was on 56k, before everyone accused him of hacking.
