I predict we will see Halloween morning (about 4 am... just to give the devs a little more time for bug squashing) the alpha.. and somewhere towards 10 am (after a good long alpha test), ns2 beta... and then i can actually play... :P
There is no NS2, they screwed us all. They took the money for pre release and the valve steam promotion money and went to carribian where they are happy with the sun, the ocean and a cocktail!!
Wow, some people really don't understand the difference between a pre-order and an order. If people are that bothered about waiting for NS2, request a refund and stop moaning. I happily paid the $40, as I see it as a steal for all the years of fun I had with NS, and will no doubt get out of NS2 as well.
I keep seeing people moaning about the twitter threads as well and how they show how the game isn't very far along. I'd say the opposite - if they're at the stage where they're actually adding gameplay now - that means all the infastructure below that (ie. the entire engine) is done, and they're adding the fun bits on top. As it's also coded in LUA, it should be very quick and easy to build, tweak and test gameplay mechanics - if they work, great can be sent off to an animator to build relevent animations, if not they can cut it and try something else in a short period of time.

Wow to bad i'll be getting up at 3am Halloween day to grab a Benelli (complete with Aimpoint optics, of course), and about a bazillion giant shotgun shells + about 50lbs in equipment, to go do a early hour assault (complete with a river crossing) ... on the wild turkey population of my state.
Guess i'll just have to wait till later that day to lmao on the NS2 forum xD.

you with any kind of firearm scares the crap out of me...
I think this thread has mostly run it's course and now people are just going off topic and throwing random dates out there. To keep from getting people's hopes up at false dates, I'll go ahead and close this.
