As the title says, really did love NS, and am excited about the second one.

But the problem is, Will i be able to pre-order this game, from the site with being in the UK and if so... will i be able to participate in the "Alpha/Beta's?"

Thanks x

    i see no reason why u couldnt, except in china or north korea, u should be able to pre-order and test beta/alpha..

    otherwise they'd tell os something about it before pre-ordering.

    the central question would be:
    If players are not allowed to host their own servers during alpha/beta, will there be servers in europe for testing? because noone wants to test the alpha with pings > 100

    Let's hope the non-americans are not the high ping guinea pigs to test the netcode..at least not for long ;)

    Well i just bought it ^_^

    So yeh, i know this has most likely been asked quite a bit, but with the special edition i get access to alpha and beta right?

    And has the alpha already been or when is it?

    I'm from Sweden, and I have preorded. I only had a bit of trouble getting my Visa to go through though, but it worked later somehow..

    Being able to host own servers is a must, unless servers are hosted worldwide;)

    It's a joke (I hope) about dumb Americans. Pull some sucker off the street and chances are he'll think that Canada and Mexico are part of "America."

    I hate my own country sometimes.

    Some people mean different things by the word "America", for example when I use the word "America" I am referring to the continents of North America and South America as a whole, you know, the name given to the Western half of Earth by the Italians, but when I want to refer to the United States I say "United States"

    I've never heard of anyone using it like that... Might explain a couple things.

    But I was completely serious about the "people off the street thing." They thought Mexico and Canada were part of the country....

    So what do you mean at all?

    People thinking Canada and Mexico belong to US?

    Also, you should rethink your stance. Even <i>while</i> south americans are usualy named by their country (bolivians, peruans, etc), they are still valid americans besides people from north or central america.
    I've heard it quite often that people claimed that "america" only means the us of a, followed by much laughter of people a bit more... fluent in geography and a stupid face of the claimer.

    As people destroy the joke more and more.

    1) America is used to refer to the USA simply because it is a common usage. Deal. Yes we know that there are 2 continents with the word America in them. Interesting bit is that there is only one country with the word America in it. All in all, not confusing or wrong to refer to the country as America unless you feel like making it so.

    2) He was making a common joke at Canada. They are our 51st state, or that they are America lite, or any of those things. It is required for Americans to mock Canadia. It is in our constitution. If we don't they ship us there. Ask Drubo. They do the same thing to NYers if we don't mock NJ.


    Either way: way to kill the joke :D

    (seriously, this was just getting to painful to watch)

    Back on topic, this does raise an issue about having servers outside the US for the rest of the world who pre-ordered. Especially having mentioned that at the start of the alpha we will not be able to host our own servers.
