UWE appreciation thread

in NS2 General Discussion
<div class="IPBDescription">Welcome to the most positive thread on the forum!</div>In this thread we tell UWE how awesome we think they are and why.


- They showed the world that you don't need a big team with big funding to make a very complex multiplayer game with up to par graphics

They made the fade! which is the most awesome thing I've played in any fps

NS2 is the only rts/fps hybrid with competitve potential

They stay in touch with the community in a way that no other companies does


I'm making this thread because i feel like the community is often acting like a parent with over expectations towards its prodigy child and it forgets to tell him how awesome he is sometime.

    Unfinished product is unfinished, but I do agree. There's a reason I stick around these forums rather than post elsewhere.

    --They have not one, but TWO Brian's

    --They have that really talented, smart, and handsome Art Director, Cory Strader

    Um...those are the only things I can think of at the moment, but even just those things guarantee pure awesomeness.

    I think their best attribute is their modesty.

    Amazing how such a small team can stay so in touch with the community and listen to what they are asking for or suggesting.
    They are making the game for us not for corporate shareholders like some other huge companies(cough snowstormname cough)

    Cory's concept art and art direction is great. The alien territory is very vivid and I'm sure will definitely shine once transparency comes in.

    Max is awesome for creating the next top engine and continuously thinking about performance.

    But I think Brian is just a tad more amazing than Brian.

    I admire Charlie for fulfilling one of his dreams. He is not doing this not for the money, but because he wants to create an awesome game.

    edit: the game industry needs more people like UWE!

    I loved playing NS1, I love playing NS2 even in beta, a few things might be broken from one build to another, but I still enjoy this game in it's current state far more than any other games. This is a solid idea, a solid product, keep up the good work.

    The game is great and too addicting. Minus 2 points out of 10 for being too addicting.

    It's very innovative, fresh, and a great multiplayer. I think it will sell big if it hasn't already.

    Just like to show some appreciation, as last time i played ns2 i was barely getting 30 fps.

    had some time last night to play a game and 100fps, never looked back at the frame counter. Good job a little stuttery still though, but huge improvement. Actually enjoyed myself trying to bite marines as a lerk hehe.

    I am very excited about the new map, "Docking." I felt like this was the appropriate thread to share my feelings in. I'm glad to see some diversity coming to NS2 levels. The clean style of Docking looks really cool. $10 says Docking will be the "de_dust2" of the NS2 world for some time to come (that's intended as a compliment, btw).

    You all are doing a great job. Keep it up!

    Cheers,
    Cody

    Agreed. Docking looks pretty sick.

    I do hope to see more "damp" and dark levels introduced later on as well. Low light levels with colored and flickering lights, entire sections of level demolished, etc. Would

    make for some interesting visuals and maybe change up the feel of marine play a bit.

    But Docking is just jaw dropping, if it's any indication from the trailer. That 30$ purchase I got way back for christmas went from uncertain hope to a purchase I would

    gladly make again if I had to. I can only imagine how much better it will be once exos and other late game features are in :D

    I really love how UWE keeps the community involved in the development of the game. Even though I don't have much time to play the beta, I still follow every single of your posts and videos and I kind of feel it's like watching a sitcom. There are all these characters in the office that I feel I know and it's fun watching you guys and the game progress over time. The developer questionnaires especially convey that feeling. (The one with the two Brians was funny as hell) No other game company (not even Valve) has managed to get me to feel so connected to them. I know the names of most people in your office and have some kind of idea of what they do in the company. For the other gaming companies I consider my self to be a fan of, I can name maybe one or two people who work there and have no idea what they do.

    So, keep doing what you're doing, it's awesome! Even if I won't have time to play the game when it's finished, I still feel I got my money's worth by just being able to follow your journey.

    there is a lot of UWE appreciation from me :)

    I can say with complete honesty, that for the past 10 years, i have considerd ns1 to be the best game i have ever played! I'm excited that ns2 is now so close to coming out, i have been waiting a very very long time, i havent had to upgrade my rig since ns1, but i have happily bought a new rig, JUST TO PLAY YOUR GAME!!

    No other game could have tempted me to upgrade my hardware - why bother, i could allready play ns1!

    Thank you to all the UWE team that are making this game possible, NS2 is shaping up to be everything i could have hoped for, and more :)

    When you guys see so many ideas, suggestions, and hard critiques, it's because people genuinely really just care for this game.

    Haven't lost faith, keep up the good work.
