While I was changing my Steam avatar I happened to notice that you have an option to <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/actions/GameAvatars/" target="_blank">choose from Official Game Avatars.</a> However, NS2 avatars were not available, even though UWE just recently released a set of <a href="http://www.naturalselection2.com/spread" target="_blank">high quality avatars.</a> Sharing those avatars in Steam could further promote NS2 and even non-NS2 players might be interested in using them.

Maybe UWE plans to release those avatars later, but just thought I'd point out the possibility.

    That's for valve to decide, I think.

    Why not just download them and import the avatar to your steam profile?

    Idea was just a little way to <i>promote NS2 in steam</i>. I happened to check what kinds of avatars steam provides to its users and noticed there were also some Lugaru avatars (iirc). So I thought it couldn't possibly hurt if the official steam avatar site also had some official ns2 avatars that people could choose from. Someone who has never heard of NS2 before could that way gradually become interested in NS2.
