Natural Selection 2 - "Very Nice." -Gabe Newell - Games

I loved the first one so fucking much, but hated the [i]EJECT COMM EJECT COMM!!! NOOB COMM![/i]

Especially when the commander was good... [editline]15th June 2011[/editline] That's probably the only bad thing with games that has commanders is that people will fight over being it

Oh god, think I'll pre-order this, I suddenly got really excited. [editline]15th June 2011[/editline] Just pre-ordered it. Dl'ing now.

Those of you who haven't checked the OP in awhile, I've updated it with plenty of new pics and info.

[QUOTE=Whiplash~;30469675]Those of you who haven't checked the OP in awhile, I've updated it with plenty of new pics and info.[/QUOTE] Looks much nicer now, thank you!

This is probably a dumb question but, how exactly does the alien commander work? I haven't really been following this for awhile. What does he actually do?

[QUOTE=Mooman;30470458]This is probably a dumb question but, how exactly does the alien commander work? I haven't really been following this for awhile. What does he actually do?[/QUOTE] RTS play, think starcraft but indoors and the marines are actual players

[QUOTE=Mooman;30470458]This is probably a dumb question but, how exactly does the alien commander work? I haven't really been following this for awhile. What does he actually do?[/QUOTE] He builds shit and guides the team. Just like any RTS. [editline]15th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=MAspiderface;30470471]RTS play, think starcraft but indoors[/QUOTE] Don't you dare compare this to StarCraft, that's silly. This is like Fisher-Price StarCraft compared to StarCraft.

Okay, this totally blew me out. This game is bloody awesome! It's perfect, it wasn't hard at all to get into either, I found a good server with good players as soon as I began and I figured out the basics in minutes. Get this game, people! Get it now.

So is the community shit or what?

[QUOTE=Trounark;30470954]So is the community shit or what?[/QUOTE] No.

[QUOTE=Trounark;30470954]So is the community shit or what?[/QUOTE] Nope. NS2 has a small, but very active and helpful community. The players ingame are generally very friendly and welcoming towards new players.

Wut. No Windows 7 support?

[QUOTE=Killdozer;30473514]Wut. No Windows 7 support?[/QUOTE] I was playing it several hours ago on Windows 7 64-bit. What's the problem?

[QUOTE=BradB;30473750]I was playing it several hours ago on Windows 7 64-bit. What's the problem?[/QUOTE] On the pre-order page it said Windows Vista/2000/XP Maybe thats just minimum requirements?

[QUOTE=Killdozer;30473799]On the pre-order page it said Windows Vista/2000/XP[/QUOTE] So? I run it on W7 64 bit aswell, it runs just fine.

[QUOTE=Killdozer;30473799]On the pre-order page it said Windows Vista/2000/XP Maybe thats just minimum requirements?[/QUOTE] I think it has something to do with the fact that Win7 wasn't out yet when they posted those initial requirements. Windows 7 came out in 2009, this game has been in development since 2006.

I got the special edition pack when it was announced... Just havent check it out for forever... IS IT PLAYABLE YET?! I mean.. Alpha was SHIT and just for show :P

Windows is known for amazing backwards compatibility, so if it works with Vista/XP (7 works more off of XP's build than Vista's) it [i]should[/i] work for 7. Not only that, but I think they just forgot to put it in there as well. [editline]15th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Kryzech;30474570]I got the special edition pack when it was announced... Just havent check it out for forever... IS IT PLAYABLE YET?! I mean.. Alpha was SHIT and just for show :P[/QUOTE] Very playable, very fun. Just a load of lag if you don't got a good connection.

Great.. I have a very fast connection and PC, so i'm gonna give it a shot tonight then...

[QUOTE=Kryzech;30474570]IS IT PLAYABLE YET?![/QUOTE] Yes, very. Still a few bugs running around, and the game isn't fully featured yet, but [i]it is[/i] playable.

Looks like a great game, may get it.

I remember the first alpha.. Oh dear :D Firing a gun resulted in ENDLESS background echo :psyduck:

Anyone intersted in some 6v6 EU game? Join [EU-FR] DEDIBOX server!

Wow I remember seeing a thread on this somewhere a long time ago. Anyway, I'm sold now. I'll buy it later tonight.

Great news everyone! Build 179 is on it's way and will hopefully be released today or tomorrow! From NS2 twitter: [quote]Putting together the changelog for NS2 Build 179. About to start (hopefully final) playtest of it then we'll release! 20 hours ago[/quote]

So I'm thinking of buying NS2, do I get a key for the beta, and will I get a new key for the full game once it releases?

[QUOTE=Dr.Cola;30477229]So I'm thinking of buying NS2, do I get a key for the beta, and will I get a new key for the full game once it releases?[/QUOTE] When you pre-order the game, you'll get into the beta and will get the full game once it's released. Don't know anything about whether they're gonna issue new batch of cd-keys before launch. Doesn't really make sense.

Update: Played the game for a hour mabey. WOW, it's really starting to look good. However, marines was using a glitch to destroy our hive. Still need some fixing but again, it's in development.
