    Everyone who will be playing alpha has already bought it(mostly anyways), so not really stealing any thunder. And its just alpha, not the actually release, like with SC2... big difference.

    Congrats!

    But, where is the Anti-aliasing on those screenshots?!

    Awesome news, bit later than I'd hoped but definitely makes the wait worth-while seeing this much content being in the alpha, the commander hud looks great. I look forward to playing the alpha, will there be a performance increase since the Engine Test? Obviously it won't be as smooth as the end product but the engine test ran a bit slow on my machine (which can handle most new games fine).

    So.....We really can't upgrade anymore from standard to special edition ?

    Exciting news, it is nice to see the game come together. Weekly to semi-weekly patches sounds awesome too! Thats the way to keep the community engaged.

    We'll have to wait for the official word from Comprox on that front. Steam puts complications on it with tied keys. I would hope it's possible to cancel a standard edition key and refund you the money, and allow you repurchase a special edition, but we won't know until we hear back.

    Can you guys post a screenshot of the Kharaa commander view?
    I'm very curious about how it's gonna look, specially the movement of Drifters.
  • TheGivingTreeTheGivingTree Join Date: 2003-01-09 Member: 12070Members
    Ah I've been waiting so long it almost feels surreal but thank you guys for all your hard work, and for giving a date that's only two weeks away.. if it was months that would be hard to handle haha. See ya all in game!

    I'm going to rain on everyone's parade and say thank you for waiting two weeks until release. I'm going to order my new computer shortly so it should be here by then!
    And everything looks just great, the commander-mode and the new black armour just made me squeal with happiness.
    And the one with the lerk just makes me think of the poor newbie Marine (who the heck runs into two hydras then shoots a skulk like two meters away only to miss as well as standing in the spore-cloud).

    Loveeeeeeeeeee <3

    Is there a way to check if you bought the Special Edition? I'm pretty sure I got that instead of the Standard, but it was a long time ago and I'd <i>REALLY</i> like some confirmation.
  • OptikalOptikal Join Date: 2003-02-15 Member: 13583Members, Constellation
    Devs have been working way to hard to realize that it concides w/ the SC2 launch date :( That's okay, I can play two games at once!
  • MachinasterMachinaster Join Date: 2007-05-31 Member: 61074Members
    Will this build include multiplayer support (without th eneed of hamachi as the engine test needed)?

    But David, we've gotta save something to anticipate during the long two weeks ahead. See: Long 18th Century.

    I completely understand this is an Alpha, with bugs and things left undone... but this is AWESOME news. Literally today, I was awaiting some good news with strong eagerness. And BLAM! You unload this on me!

    I'm really looking forward to seeing how the Commander Position functions. What new technologies or plays on the old stuff we've used before.

    I'm psyched!!

    See ^ 2 exclamation points!! !!

    awesome news. I know how hard it can be to tie up the thousands of nitbits for a stable release! can't wait to check it out. All uphill from here.

    Long time 'lerk'er. Thanks gentleman for all the hard work on your game thus far and for keeping us the community informed. Proud to say I did the special edition and I am happy that I did. Big Milestone! :D
