    Old school player here, delighted to see the development of NS2 has continued wonderfully. Very excited about trying NS2, but in the meantime, i shall return to the original and remind myself of the game which occupied my free time for years of my life.

    What kind of differences are there going to be between steam and non-steam version of the game? Are we any closer to getting dates on the release of the alpha version, or the final version etc. Will the pre order be available for a certain time period, or until the official release. You really should of put alot more info on the pre-order page. This whole releasing info, bit by bit, gets old fast.

    Didn't notice the skulk in the vent, just the one that climbs up the wall behind the onos. Love the Ready Room reference.

    I'll wait for the steam release, I'm finally starting to accept it as my central game platform <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    Collectors eddition it will be ofcourse <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    The trailer convinced me to pre-order the special edition! Thanks NS2 dev team the game looks kick ass. Hearing the marine call to his commander that he's standing by felt exciting. Everything presented in the teaser was professional looking game. NS2 looks to be a huge leap from the original mod and I can't wait to install the alpha.

    Take care and thanks for all the effort and many many late nights sculpturing this masterpiece.

I bought the NS2 special edition and GIVE ME the alpha <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    NS team deserve my money for the countless hours of gaming they provided me back when I used to play NS every night.

    Pre ordered the special edition to get my mitts on the alpha when it comes out. Great job with the teaser, I will be looking forward to the release!

    Teaser on HD!

    Jesus, this hyped me 3000 times more. The Kotaku quality was pretty crap compared to this one. We can see all the details on the onos and the skulk behind him omnomnomnom

    honestly, I had been waiting for this moment for so long.
    Natural Selection had watched me grow and so did I watched Natural selection grow it's way up to NS2.

    I was first introduced by my cousine about this NS mod, and I accidentally fell in love with it.
    Amazing game play, absolutely stunning.

    And I am here to give my greatest support to Natural selection, I am a die-hard NS fan, and I have had pre-ordered the special edition straight away.

    I would like to thanks all the developers for their hard work,
    and I tell you what, no matter how the second one looks, no matter how it will be,
    my heart is with Natural Selection, the money I had paid was for the amazing experience I had from natural selection one
    and it is a tribute for you, the developers.

    YOU are the one who deserve our eternal gratitude, I am very glad to see how NS grew, and I wishes NS the very best future.

    a die hard NS fan,
    Theo

    The teaser is entirely in game right? i was wondering when the shutters next to the F4 door shuddered, will we be able to see that in-game? or is that dependent on the mapper or is that just special effects?

    It's in-engine, not necessarily in-game.

    US$ 39,95 gone
    R$ 84,00 gone


    This is the second game I´m following the development constantly (first one was Oblivion) and I can say proudly, no regrets yet!

    I´d sell my arms to have a copy of this game, but only if I didn´t need those to play <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    Been waiting a long time for this, really caught me offguard when i was about to head to bed last night, pre-ordered the SE version, now i want more! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    Very nice teaser.
    Engine looks promising.
    I hope to see gameplay vids in the future.

    I am going to hold off on preordering ONLY because it does not include the Steam version.
    My current system is on the fritz and I need to build a new one.

    Steam has treated me well as far as game migration.
    It also allows me to use spare computer at a friend's house.

    Please post an announcement if we can preorder Steam version.
    I truly truly truly want to get my hands on the tools.
  • TwiStErTwiStEr Join Date: 2008-11-10 Member: 65415Members, Reinforced - Shadow
    the Teaser looks amazing and I especially like the dynamic environment ....

    If the Game comes out in the Fall and the Beta hast to be before, we could see an alpha release fairly soon since its already close to june *gettinghopesup*


    I actually prefer a stand alone Version, but I wont complaint if I could add it there as well and use the steamfriends ....



    <- Jiggy with anticipation and reading all the threads everywhere and enjoying how much all the others enjoy this and get excited just like me
  • Gamer-XGamer-X Join Date: 2008-03-22 Member: 63930Members, Constellation, Reinforced - Shadow
    I just preordered my SE but I'm a bit concern about the steam version comment on the bottom. Will we be able to link them somehow? I dont mind if I need to buy a steam version to get it on steam, don't mind giving you more money. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" /> I just want to know if there is going to be a steam special edition. If not, can I link my "black armor" to my steam version. Sorry if I just confused anyone here, I just want a little clarification. Can we get a dev comment on this?
  • INKEDOUTINKEDOUT Join Date: 2007-06-23 Member: 61343Members
    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    I LOVE IT!

    Now I can finally slap my friends who have been telling me that NS2 is just another Duke Nukem Forever...

    Got to put some money away for the Special Edition, so I can't order it this week <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

    Are the system requirements 100% confirmed yet, or is that just the minimum spec?

    Also, will teh all black armour come with cool flashes of gold/yellow, just to make a point of how dedicated to NS2 you are!

    WELL DONE DUDES!

    (Also, I can't seem to get any of the side panel info up... or the BB Code Help... neither of the links work and I cant add any effects to my comment... have bold/coloured text/etc been removed?)

    I reckon buying the steam version will give a % of the price to ######ben thus giving less money to Flayra & co.

    I didn't even watch the teaser before I pre-ordered the special edition. But the teaser did solidify the fact that this game is going to rock.

    My only complaint is the NS2 logo with the slashes in the metal seem very generic. Especially when X-Men 3 did it and more recently X-men: orgins.

    But that's awesome that's my only complaint though.

    Looks very promising <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    Time to get a PayPal account at last I guess - refused to do so all the time cause I was able to do everything I wanted online without any costs on transfers until now... But I dont have a CC <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

    I still have three questions though:

    1. Will the stand-alone version be able to play on the same servers as the steam version?
    2. Will there be some lame cut german-version?
    -> 3. Will the pre-order version be cut in any way?

    The joke is, even the 18-rated games in Germany are cut, thats so fkin lame <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

    looks amazing but will the black marine skin not spoil the game for aliens as you will be darker and able to hide, how about a alien equivalent? Can you toggle the black skin off and on and also are there any pictures of this?
  • eemeeeme Join Date: 2007-06-26 Member: 61383Members
    Maybe it will be a dark shade of gray and as visible as the shade of green they are using, just different color.

    You have to pay for it? I guess nobody gets a free copy <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    Now that we're paying customers and all; could we maybe get some quicker answers plz? ^_^
    I probably shouldn't, but the Steam thing is starting to worry me. I'm sure quite a few other people are hesitating to pre-order due to this ambiguity.

    <u>Edit</u>:
    See this thread for an answer (sortof) to the Steam question:
