Reinforced Expansion Released! - Natural Selection 2
In February, NS2 was Gorgeous. Now, it is Reinforced. The culmination of nearly six months of development, Reinforced takes Natural Selection 2 to new height. Here is the launch trailer: Female Marines. Cluster Grenades. Biodome. Bone shield. Webs. Dual Railguns. Linux Support. Single Player Interactive Tutorial, Commander Tutorial, Special/Deluxe/Standard first person view models – Those are just some of the pieces of content released today. Look further back, and the updates have flowed . Released incrementally to everyone that owned NS2 before the release of Reinforced, twenty-four individual updates have dramatically increased performance, improved map layouts, completely revamped NS2 balance mechanics, and more. Together, these twenty four updates make Reinforced a monstor that everyone at Unknown Worlds is …

UWE are working as fast as they can on issues.
For the amount of time and fun I've had playing ns2, I really think the Reinforcement Program is probably the best way UWE can continue to make the game financially lucrative without violating any game design principles. I am glad they went this route and not a crappy DLC/microtransaction system.
that sounds good. Can we help somehow?
Textures load very slowly in game. It takes about a minute before super low res textures go away.
The thrown grenade model bugged out when it hit transparent flooring in biodome.
Also I'd just like to thank all the volunteers involved in helping out on Biodome. The map testers, lead by Bitey with help from Rantology, and others far too numerous to name individually in this short post, and the balance team and internal testers as well. Their feedback throughout every stage of making the map were extremely important for getting Biodome finished.
I'm sure I've missed a bunch of people, but thanks everyone!
On another note, I'll be continuing to make optimisations to the map, and balance changes where required - I'm looking forward to making Biodome even better.

EDIT: By the way we won't be able to redeem the key given after the donation until the 3rd of september correct?
EDIT: Sorry my mistake figured it all out.
For the 333 you should let them submit a decal of their creation....
Hah, thats even more reasonable than yours, moultano!
put in bindable mousewheel and maybe I'll donate
I'd buy into Reinforcement right now but I kind of don't want one of those badges showing that I'm spending more money than I should spend on a video game. It would be nice to buy it incognito.
Honestly, I can barely play the game on my laptop. It is about 7 years old, and I get around 40 fps alone at marine start on Veil.
That is with my settings on absolute minimum!
I have been following UWE since NS1, and a lot of my enjoyment comes from supporting such a great community and company.
It is an exciting thing to be part of, and good luck for the future.
I would do something much worse than implementing the sinister mwheel if I dropped that kind of cash
I like how you find a way other than micro/f2p. Awesome!
I'm totally going to buy a shadow badge!
I might have further supported development of NS2, but then there was the whole "you will get used to the new alien vision because it will make you will appreciate our artwork" thing
