Nine Legends Natural Selection pack

The 9L.ns pack is a compilation of various custom files for the Half-Life modification Natural Selection. These custom files are tailored towards competitive players, with making fragging easier and more enjoyable as the main goal. While new players may also enjoy the contents of this pack, you should probably be careful installing this if you’re not sure what you’re getting into. With the previous versions of this pack getting over 3000 downloads, you can safely assume that it’s worth while checking it out, though!

 

 

The precursor to this pack, known as the Knife Gaming pack, was a bit more user friendly in many ways, as it came with an installer. I’ve chosen not to go with an installer, as I personally think it was more hassle than help. Having everything in a .rar should make it easier to pick out the files you want. Although, regrettably, it does make it more difficult for “newbies” to get things working “just right”. Ask someone who’s already installed it for some pointers if you’re confused.

 

Because the 9L.ns pack was made for competitive players, everything included in it is guaranteed to work with mp_consistency 1. Some of the included files might be considered more or less exploitative, but they’re all ENSL legal — and widely used.
