Looked good. I liked the commander mode sequences. The transition to the belly of an Onos is instantaneous and that was sort of surprising. I really liked the Lerk's spores shooting,. I love the new crosshairs and the new hivemind icons. I am going to have so much fun going ctrl-1 ctrl-2 when I will command...

Yeah, this was sorted out in the first page, so I hate to bring it back up, but I wanna say, it may not even be "Leap, switch to bite and chomp away" it could just be him biting away, and then they added in the Leap sound in post production for effect....never know...
but anyway, it was a really cool video.......every time i see Skulk wall orientation i just want it that much more....it just looks so freaking sweet!!!!!

Don't know what people were expecting, but I'd say this does an excellent job of showing off gameplay and being cool at the same time. When criticizing the trailer, try to remember that it's not really you they made it for. You are going to play 2.0 anyway. It's the people that are not going to automatically play 2.0 the trailer is for. For the people that tried 1.0x but didn't hang around, the trailer must have stuff about the difference between 1.0x and 2.0. For the people who have never tried NS, the trailer must provoke interest. Best way to provoke interest is to make the product look good and best way to make a mod look good is to show quality gameplay video.
So I'm happy about the trailer since in my opinion it fulfills its role really well and probably will bring new players to the mod. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd--> Driftwood is quite correct - it was specifically tailored to get people into/back into NS.

On second thoughts , it was an horrible mistake to release the trailer that early... I'm already consuming in envy and feel like killing a few veterans to play NS2 from their computers. The next 5 days are going to be a terrible agony. Even though I play NS for 4 months only , I'm already starting to cry at every JP HMG rush and when the marine team has more than one bunnyhopper.
Soon you will see marine players on pubs dropping their GL because "comm , this weapon is ugly ! Drop me one once you got that 2.0 model !" ; non-noob gorges will start dropping sensories or movs first to "prepare for the change" and form gangs ; comms will try new strategies on Eclipse or Southloop ignoring the upgrade bugs.
Think of the poor NS players. Remove the trailer immediately so that the whole NS community doesn't collapse in 5 days.
On a slightly more serious note , I am uberhappy to see one of the french elite clan d/y member playing as a skulk and as a lerk in the trailer. I'll force myself to play on their server tonight.

AHHHH! The running cloaked Onos would make me soil myself. Flayra just stuffed that guy. The models look so much sharper, the spores are the ****, crosshairs are amazing, this is 64 mb of love.

Wait a tic... why is it so cold and blue. Its not like that the whole time right? Not that its bad, but its gotta mess with your eyes after the usual 20 hours of ns a day. hehe
About the cloaked onos... Why is he so easily visible? Obviously he's under a sensory, but don't they give players almost full cloak? Or are 3 sensories needed for that?
Question about cloak... Are sensory-covered aliens cloaked 100%? Or cloaked 100% standing still and around 90% when walking?

it looks sweet in all but the thing which looks pretty weird to me is that as soon as an onos eats you u dont see any animation, all u see is it walk up to u and the next thing u see is the stomache. i think they should have ur screen follow up from the mouth down a thickended pipe into the stomache, and there should be a 3rd person view animation <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> other than that it looks sweet
EDIT: actuially it should show a dark screen for a seconds before showing the blob so u know ur being eaten forget all that silyl crap i just put up ;p
