<div class="IPBDescription">What is it?</div>So Hugh was going dark over the weekend, and recently uploaded the Heist part 2. I guess he's back at the UWE office though? He did mention in the previous NS2HD video that he has very huge news, even larger than just the previous visits to the UWE office. NS2HD, can you enlighten us?

    Charlie said that on the AMA on reddit and it didnt seem accidently. However Hugh stated on his youtube channel that this is just half the truth... sooo noone knows.

    Welcome to Cali Hugh, enjoy your stay! Its inspiring that you care so much for the game that you would travel such a distance multiple times, I live just 400miles from SanFran and have yet to attempt such a trip! (Though I'm not so sure they would endorse such a thing as fans showing up to bug them at the office :P)

    Great news! there is indeed a lack of communication right now, having someone full time on it is really good.

    For example Electr0 has been raging quite a lot about the lack of answer on the server download :

    Some technical details on the choke would be nice too :

    Thanks guys!

    Floodinator, if you can believe it, I was actually an accountant and my education background is finance/accounting. So it just goes to show, cool stuff can happen.

    Yuuki, I will absolutely be trying to increase that kind of communication. Often with questions like that, it's not that the team does not want to respond / the feature is dead / the bug is unknown. Instead, it's that they are all hyper-busy and prioritise working on the game.

    Let's do it!

    Yes, and I responded to him, here:

    People need to do less raging about Dev's not responding to their questions, and check dev tracker more often. We usually respond, but it tends to get buried in pages of posts in some of these threads.

    Actually the question he posed was whether it'll be in before v1.0-release (so before late-summer), and that question hasn't really been answered yet (to the best of my knowledge)...

    /me exits the thread, whoop whoop whoop!

    Congrats, NS2HD! Ever since I noticed the amount of quality and effort put into your videos, I had a feeling that you would be working officially with UWE sooner or later instead of supporting them behind the scenes. Just don't burn yourself out with all the suggestions, complaints, and nonsense us players are submitting. :P

    Awesome Stuff NS2HD
    Congratulations on the new life!

    I first heard about NS2 back in the alpha days but didn't want to get involved with NS2 yet (too much else going on in my life). But It was your videos that forced my hand and I HAD to get this game, I didn't want to miss any more of the amazing stuff I was watching on NS2HD.

    Thanks for everything you have done and I expect awesome coverage of PAX! Go meet Gabe and Tycho and see if you can find James Rolfe (AVGN) he's always at these things.
