Hey all,
Just read that NS2 is in closed beta and I got really excited!
I have definitely been waiting for this game for a long time and I'm happy to see it finally come to fruition.
Graphics look fantastic, really an upgrade from the Hl1 mod (though those were great for the time).
I played for about an hour or so, experimenting with different things.
Here are some things I missed from the old NS.
1) I can't seem to find the pop up map.
2) Leap =( (though using ALT Fire for it is AWESOME).
3) Game feels "Laggy" (I know you are addressing this).
I look forward to continue to test this game, I really think this can blow up big in the PC gaming world. People are waiting for a game like this, trust me.

As for leap, it is still in... but you need to do research to improve the leap!
Pop up map (or some form of navigation) is still to be implemented (I would think). So are loads of other features, but can't wait to see what new updates will bring!
First impressions coming back ... was just wow from the first alpha to this is a huge leap in such a small amount of time, And that its their own engine its amazing , to think that an indie developer can do this just hurts my head :D ###### GOOD JOB GUYS!
Im studying games art and now understand alot of what happens in the background, and what im seeing here easily rivals epic games in terms of speed and quality.
Hopefully this time next year i'll have a showreel for you guys :D Keep up the amazing work!
OH and a few more art competitions would be great (Im talking about the monorail thing). Also if money is getting tight why not open up a donations page? I cant donate alot (student :P) but i'll love to throw what i can your wait to keep this thing going :D.
Cant wait to see what you guys can do over the next few months again :D
True, but give that the maps are smaller I guess it's not that big of a deal for now. But it does give you a nice insight of where to go when all things go wrong in a certain part of the map. More RTS in the game, needs a map to deal with this. So, Heres to hoping it's on the way as well :D
