in NS2 General Discussion
What will happen on October 31st, 2009? It is an important date in NS history, and the release of NS2 is drawing ever closer.
Make your predictions, and lay claim to internet prognostication fame so that you may bask in the glory... You said it here first.

Is it the NS2 Tech Release?
Alpha Release?
Lerk, Fade, Heavy Armor reveal?
Flamethrower reveal?
Gameplay footage?

    Every reveal we haven't seen yet.

    Ever.

    (I think there will be multiple reveals around and on halloween).

    My prediction... just more disappointing news to follow parasite removal, slower movement, smaller maps, console-based design, rifle knockback, vision-disturbs, autobite, fade role reduction, leap nerf, dumbed-down gameplay......... or just a delay.

    I think it's kind of funny. Everyone is hyping the date for no reason, everyone is going to be let down when they just release a new screenshot or something. Besides, you guys will just complain about whatever they show anyways.

    I'm not expecting anything really.

    Nothing will be released or shown. Maybe they will twitter that they got a new microwave to go with the recent fridge purchase.

    There will be pictures of the whole UWE studio dressed up and trick or treating, too.

    I kind of hope nothing happens just to see people throw a fit.

    But there will likely be some media.

    wow.

    makes me wonder why you people bother hanging around if you already have such low expectations. It's like you people <b>want</b> it to fail, just so you can be all ... "See, told you!"

    I don't <b>expect</b> to see anything. I however wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort or release. Either something playable or tools (for mapping, or what ever).

    Though, what I AM expecting to see is a bunch of threads similar to "The Devs <b>TOLD</b> us Oct 31st!"

    Although it has been ages, I am still curious as to what the BUS might have been / is going to be.

    Don't know what they've got in storage for us but I'm guessing we'll be wiping our keyboards of drool.

    My words exactly! I think (s)he's just trolling around, but I can't understand these negative creeps in general: they're not helping anything by being like a bear who's been shot up in the arse. Getting a little off-topic here, but imo people are too much like they're "supposed to be" because of the music they listen or whatever.

    Guys it's the anniversary of NS1 release. Of course they're going to offer a discount on NS2.

    That or encourage everyone to play NS1 for the day.

    They surely should release something totally off topic so they don't have to feed all those stupid trolls that are around at the moment, it would make me laugh a lot. Those crybabies really deserve nothing at all.

    When many of those disappointing news items that I listed were released, I defended the devs, hoping that it was all for the best. But as they piled on one thing after another, it finally broke my confidence in them and in NS2. I'm no longer optimistic like I used to be. It's not a matter of personality, or of whining, or trolling. I'm just genuinely disappointed. I really do hope that there's a big october reveal that will change my opinion back and instill confidence again.

    When I read the thread topic in the listings, I expected this to be a thread about creating low-budget halloween costumes with an NS theme. That would be cool. Instead I see a nice couple of posts from people getting hyped for NS2, surrounded by an angry tension which can be cut with a knife.

    On a lighter note im really hoping for a peek in at the NS2TR so we can get a head start on the modding business.

    That's exactly what I thought from the thread title as well...

    In response to the OP:
    UWE will roll out the fade reveal, but it will be dressed in a low-budget Halloween costume (a ghost, most likely)

    Look at the bright side... Windows 7 is released.

    And this might be an interesting tidbit but i've been monitoring my SOUTHBRIDGE and GPU temperatures and when trying Vista, i've noticed my GPU never going below 100 degrees farenheit (when just viewing the windows desktop... no actual work being done), and the bridge chip never goes below 140 degrees.

    However, when i was using Windows 7 on the same computer... the bridge thing was starting at 127 degrees and the videocard could actually idle in the 80-90 degree range!

    Ya so despite the fact that Windows 7 appears visually to just be Vista with no DreamScene feature and an ugly taskbar... it does run cooler.

    EDIT: hmm i don't know wtf was happening when i saw vista do that overheat (when not actually doing anything)... but apparently the temperatures stabilized after a couple of restarts. That's all the reason i need to modify my bios to slic 2.1 and get windows 7 ultimate retails loaded xD
