Let's Play some NS2: Combat! ( Limited Slots! Join Fast ! )
We understand that it's devastatingly hard to seed a server, let alone a game.
We understand that many people have purchased / obtained a copy of NS2: Combat - but yet haven't been able to enjoy the experience because of the playerbase.

There's been talk of scheduled playtimes, and we've put it into action.
Starting tonight, we'll be doing weekend playtimes on the DiamondGamers.net - NS2: Combat server.

We'd love for you to join us. So if you're around, and you see this post. Please feel free to drop in!

See you in game! :ns2combat:
