    In the year one-o-five, one-o-five
    If man is still alive
    If robot can survive
    They may find

    In the year twenty-five twenty-five twenty-five
    The backwards time machine still won't have arrived
    In all the world, there's only one technology
    A rusty sword for practicing proctology

    In the future year that ends with a twenty
    A slumpy merman is gonna try to get chummy
    He may look like a watery wimp
    When in fact he's a blood thirsty shrimp

    In the year one million and a half
    Human kind is enslaved by giraffe
    Men must pay for all his misdeeds
    When the tree tops are stripped off their leaves
    woaaaaaaaaoooooh!

    lol



    on a serious note, way back in "the day" of 1.04, there was a thread where mr.flayra stated it was near-ish future, where "Manipulating Einsteinian physics was common place, as was nano technology, but the ol shotgun was still a mainstay, and firearms haven't changed much"

    So, I'd say between the years 2200 and 3000. Or more. Who cares.

    Omar... That was quite hilarious.

    Communist... That helps and I care as I'd like a solid point of reference for my fiction.

    NS2 takes place after NS1, where khaara evolved to take traits like armor from the marines, but the marines technology evolved as well.

    This is before our civilization. A wormhole back before humanity ever roamed earth. They are creatures that resemble humanity. The prototype. They lost their civilization in a war against the Kharaa. They had to sacrifice themselves to seal the Kharaa away for millenium. In our time the Kharaa threat will come back. Who knows when? Dun dun dun.

    No, what I said actually is true, ns2 does happen after ns1, and if you search a little you will find references to it by the devs.
    A quick google gave me this: <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=106378&st=280&p=1712621&#entry1712621" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/in...p;#entry1712621</a>

    I also enjoyed this post when I first stumbled upon it. Sure its not made by a dev, but I like to think of this lore as canon. It has a lot of dates put into it if you want a timeline.
    <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=106000" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/in...howtopic=106000</a>

    Google with the "site:" tag is extremely powerfull, and I suggest you continue using it if you want to find more fanfiction and lore.

    It is the distant future, the year 2000. The world is quite different ever since The robotic uprising of the late nineties.

    After reading that, I'd guess 2200's. 2101 could be close, since they still have 'ball courts' and shotguns. Also, the mech suits aren't far off from what we have in the present and they are only now getting smaller railguns; only railguns we have presently are massive and require a lot of power.

    I like to think that it's 1973.

    Take the current year 2013 and turn it around 3102.

    I think you should google railgun. It's literally 2 pieces of wire and a metal projectile. Invented in 1918.
