I would die for an NS2 key, but after reading the forums a bit I came to the conclusion that the map maker is simple and easy to use. Takes a week or so to get comfortable with the map making program. With this being I really wanted to make a map in a game but haven't been able to find a program easy enough, so I decided to come here for great team battles and an awesome map making experience. Now since I haven't played the game yet I don't know how this game really functions; as in what part of the map is abusive or is too marine friendly. With this being changed I guarantee that this sketch with change with the more I play the game.
[attachment=36067:NS2_map.png] Make sure you click on the picture. (Gives a better representation of the map!)
The map is designed so one team will be able to suppress the advantage fast, but be vulnerable to deadly counter attacks, which can take out a tech place, and 1 or 2 resource collection spots. Meaning the agressor can't be over overaggressive or else they are easyly targeted by counter attacks. As the map comes more along my room ideas will be set around this mindset. Such as the room might be dark/an exposable power switch so that way aliens can run on the wall with a lower chance of being seen, so it can cause deadly flanks or devastating counter attacks. Now with that many counter attacks, the team that just destroyed a resource collector might get cocky and go for the next structure, which will more than likely be a harder target for a marine or two to actually destroy. Now some may be thinking, "Well why cant I turtle off these few resource collectors and let them attack us?" The answer is simple, this map encourage's fast map control, and the team who decides to stay only on a few resource collectors will be easily destroyed with the lack of map control. Late game on this map encourages quick missions that instantly retreat for the awaiting counter attack, so it keeps the team on their toes and makes it so they cant end the game too fast, so this draws out longer and more hectic gameplay. The theme of the map is still undecided and most likely the person who gifts me the game will decide and will help me with this project and pitch in ideas!
Then not to mention the game itself will be a blast for me, blasting away alien bits with a squad of me and a few other people just seems simply amazing. I just find this game astounding for an indie game, and for only being in the beta I feel like this game could be released right now and get more sales than most run-of-the-mill indie game. So I would find it amazing if someone could gift me this game. :)
Another reason why I should receive this game (I really want this >.<) is the fact I have FRAPS and can upload kick-butt gameplay with max graphics and show how beatiful this game can be. I have pretty decent in video editing and could make a "movie" out of this game if anyone would be nice enough to lend me their voice, along with that I am constantly showing new people about this game to try and help out the dev's for their hardwork!
*EDIT If anyone is wondering if my computer can run this game or not, the answer is for sure yes, I just got a custom made computer a few months back that can run any game that just came out on max graphics with a standard 60+ fps!
First of all ill love to thank every good fela around in advance, for me and for all the people you guys already helped. Ill also want to apologize in advance for my crappy english since its not my main lenguage. Ive been wanting NS2 for years (literally), i used to play NS1 as a kid and loved it, i remember going to a LAN and playing with lots and lots of people for hours. Ive been keeping my eyes open on the beta testing for the game, but since i didnt have the money at the moment to buy it and without knowing when the official release was, i decided to wait and save up for it. Yesterday i decided to buy myself a new mouse, and today i saw on steam the game was coming out on october, i got really pissed. Im working as an intern without getting paid till december, if i knew the game was coming out so soon i would have waited for the mouse but now ill have to wait atleast till january to get the game... (if i can by then).
If theres any cool guy/girl around that like to help me out getting into the beta or the real game, ill love that and be so thankful. If you guys cant, its alright, eventually ill find a way to get it since i want it so badly.
Once again.. thanks in advance... Add me, lets talk about anything! ill love to meet new ppl (steam id: <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/id/damulero/)" target="_blank">http://steamcommunity.com/id/damulero/)</a>
I think UWE have got to add some sort of donation system so that if the people who get free copies want to contribute something financially they can. I will certainly be asking the person whome which I will give my key to consider it, if they like the game. Even if half the people payed a MEASLY $1 - thats still $22,500
Sweet jesus this game lives on?! i can remember downloading this HL mod on dialup waaaay back when, only after seeing it appear on steam (a pleasant surprise i might add) did i realise it is infact now a stand alone game that has progressed and evolved.
I had to double check to make sure it wasnt some rip off game using the old name, but after researching has lead me here, wow, nice work to the devs, you guys have persisted and it has paid off. I am more then happy to pre-order and pay $25, in the same breath i have a quantity of tradable games i could swap to someone with a spare key if they wanted something for it, if no one is interested within the next few days ill just buy it :) i may just buy it as a gift anyway haha.
Feel free to have a browse through my inv if anyone is interested, <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/id/Write-0ff/" target="_blank">http://steamcommunity.com/id/Write-0ff/</a> - Admins/mods i couldnt see anything within rules that says i couldnt put up a trade proposa here, but if i have bent or broken a rule by all means remove my post or send me a message so i can modify it, Thankyou.
Best gaming news i have had in ages, Thankyou NS crew.
I would like a copy of this game, I live in Brazil and here is kind of difficulty for me to afford that kind of game, since the crisis the dolar rate here is too high. So i have to spend like twice the original price. And for me it's too expensive.
I would love if someone could help me with that, this game is awesome!

I'd love a copy of NS2, but unfortunately cannot really afford it. I'm acting as a single mother essentially right now, caring for my little brother since my mother passed away last year. So, money is very tight, and what I do get spare tends to be spent on him. Gaming is my little personal escape, and NS2 in particular is something I'm very interested in!
Edit: Though, hope this dosen't sound like a pity grab! Not trying to be, just trying to explain why I can't actually afford the game myself!

I have some friends interested in the game if anyone has keys they aren't going to use. I'm most likely giving my other copy to my brother. My friends are computer engineers as well, so who knows, maybe the will be bored enough to make some mods one day.

Considering the video card was from step-up and the rest of the rig was built with 2nd hand parts. But I got a code ^_^.
Question, It's a humble bundle beta code, I was told a thank you package will be given to me once it comes out? anybody got a link for that?

Hello all! I had an old account on here but I havent been able to recover it sadly :( And as many as said before if you have a free copy of the game to give away I would greatly appreciate a free copy

Hello to everyone l am new here never played NS but when l watched some videos of NS2 fell in love with it awesome game started watching <a href="http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD28226024AD811CB" target="_blank">Galm's</a> videos of NS2 beta the game was so awesome couldn't wait for its release . So mu question is don't want it to sound greedy or anything but if anyone that pre-ordered the game is willing to give away their second copy will be awesome to get the game and play with the UWE community from what l've seen you guys are awesome . Anyway thank you for reading this glad to be here hoping that there will be someone wiling to gift his second copy . Thank you and have a nice day.
<!--coloro:#FFA500--><span style="color:#FFA500"><!--/coloro-->This is a place to request or offer copies of NS2. It is not a place to question those who do so.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->
I would also absolutely love to receive a free copy as im currently not able too afford the game and im more then willing to compensate by simply being anyones buddy in arms (Like i would of been anyhow) or simply just by showing my outmost gratitude towards the person and the matter of fact anyone in the community just for being there and sharing the experience with me. Just add me onto skype or what not and have a chat !. Otherwise just contact me on here as i will present from this very moment and forward and sharing my experience with you guys.
This seems like a very nice thing for everyone to be doing, and whether I get a copy or not, I just want to thank everyone involved for their generosity. Unfortunately I can't buy games online. There are issues that I won't go into, but basically I can't complete transactions over the internet. I really would like to have this game as it looks awesome, and me and my friends are looking forward to playing it, and the first game was utterly brilliant as well. If you need my system specs the important ones are:
i5 3570k XFX Core edition 2GB 7870 (PCIe 3.0 is used as motherboard has a 3.0 slot) 8GB Vengeance
Thanks to anyone good enough to give me a copy, just tell me what you want me to do to get the key, if you want to give me one. As thanks I would gladly be of help to anyone in need of a fellow combatant at any point, or just profess my undying gratitude. I look forward to meeting you guys in the battlefield. Robert
A few months ago I have been following the game through the official website and reddit / ns2 /. The game totally shocked me and I have been interested in the mechanics: strategy, action and team play.
If anyone please has enough generosity to give myself a copy of the game .......... I would be very happy: THANKS!
Unknow Worlds make a your great work giving an extra copy of their loyal fans and founders, also for creating this topic for those who need a copy of Natural Selection 2.
Been a player of NS1 for years, if anyone has a spare copy floating around they'd like to be rid of I'd appreciate it. Just PM for private details and gratuitous thanks.
Hi everybody, just found out about this game a few days ago & have been watching streams of it constantly since. I'm currently out of work however, so resources are limited. I do have an extra copy of Portal 2 ( I know, who doesn't have it by now, but I figured I'd offer) as well as a good amount of TF2 & DOTA2 items that I'd be willing to trade.
is my profile if you would like to see what I have, feel free to add me if anything catches your eye. Wouldn't mind making a few friends either. Thanks for reading, and best wishes to everyone!
