I've read that a few times and I'm still not sure what you're saying. Could you clarify please?

I'm trying to decide whether hes not a native English speaker, or just really young and/or failed grammar class, but I'm not really sure.

I think I can translate though:

The color scheme and promotional materials for the original NS tended to focus on the alien aspect of the game more than the marine aspect. The NS startup screen was this nice organic green color, the website matched it, and the default icon for the NS program file was the Hive icon. Now that you don't click on the NS program file anymore, the STEAM game icon for NS is the skulk eye icon.

By contrast, the NS2 website seems to be focusing more on the TSA's metallic blue, and Omnis wants to know if this trend will be continued for most of NS2's surrounding graphics. Perhaps the STEAM icon for NS2 will be the <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tsa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::tsa::" border="0" alt="tsa.gif" /> symbol.

Cxwf's translation helps...alot, and to answer it yes NS1=aliens NS2-marines that's how it's looking

Holy ****! You just struck my weakpoint for massive damage! That harms my very existence...

If Cxwf is correct (and kudos if so), then I must say that's an interesting observation. NS1 related stuff had quite a color scheme related to that "Kharra-yellow" color. Now everything is more of a high-tech blue. This trend may indeed carry on even into the game.

(I honestly seem to feel a bit sick after reading that post so many times, an unfamiliar occurrence)

All he is wondering is which one of these will be the game icon:

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hive5.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::hive::" border="0" alt="hive5.gif" /> OR <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tsa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::tsa::" border="0" alt="tsa.gif" /> the current icon image that comes with the game is the <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hive5.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::hive::" border="0" alt="hive5.gif" />


Who knows?

I would prefer the Frontier Icon, but it's too dark so i would have to choose the hive icon.
