Hehe, it's no big surprise really, but still very awesome that they have generated so much support.
Most of us who pre-ordered on the first day have a huge amount of respect for UWE, and NS2 is right up there at the top of our most-anticipated list. Buying the Special Edition for me was one way to say a big thank you (together with Constellation) to these guys, and it seems most others who pre-ordered were expressing themselves in the same way.
PLUS, who could say no to <b>authentic, custom-made, black Marine armour?</b> I wouldn't dare.
Yep ordered special edition as well here <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
I got the special edition. Wouldn't have it any other way. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
Well I donated $20 for NS, and I bought the special edition. It's somewhat sad, but ns is one of the things I've invested the most time in, on par with most of the sports I've played. Myeh.
i didn't not get the SE, so it means i do not not have it, and i'm happy ;D
no but seriously, was no question about it for me, chose SE to support this awesome team and a (hopefully) awesome product. and even in the impossible scenario that ns2 is bad, i consider ns1 alone easily be worth that money. congrats UWE on your success!
since it takes a while for my bank to transfer money into my paypal account i didn't pre-order yet, but you can sure as hell count on it i'm getting the SE.
I registered this account newly today since my old account no longer reflects the ingame nickname i use. Some of you might be remember me from cal. I used to be in clan penguin under the nickname nosferatu. Used to play on armslab a lot cuz i had a reserved slot.
Anyway i have been steadily following the ns.org page for a while now and needless to say i was ecstatic when i saw pre-orders were open. If NS2 turns out to be just as enjoyable competitive as NS1 was i'll probably have a stab at it.
Sure I did, as I didn't donate money to the Charlie-Needs-More-Beer-Program (or the "Constellation Program" as some like to call it) I realized that I need to make up for that and donate another dozen of sixpacks!
I invested about 400 Euros in WoW and played it 4 years and had less fun with it than playing ns1 for 3 years...
so I should have bought ten SEs <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" /> - but one was enough, I am not that rich as a student <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

It's also a really great move to give people public recognition for their support. Seriously, more people would do good deeds if this was always the case!
There'll probably be cool icons in the score list, just like with the constie program. The black armor is icing on the cake.
But what about the aliens? Is there no way to tell who is a passionate fan on the alien team?
Maybe their eyes could glow a different color or something?
Man I had such a bad day from work yesterday, I got home, was tired as hell and just browsing some random sites. First I saw the trailer, I nearly peed myself with glee. Then I saw the preorder at the end of the trailer and almost had a fit. I got the special edition and all it's goodies are just insanely awesome, I can't wait to play the game through alpha and beta, just to help it smooth out the rough edges.
I also need those map making tools because the engine gives me wet dreams.
I am a special player too <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />
I'm thinking I might get the standard edition, apparently it's a lot more special than the more expensive version. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
Just pre-ordered the SE <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" /> Very excited!
An old NS buddy of mine told told me the news yesterday, I think I crapped my pants twice after that...
It's going to be weird when the game is released, by then we are all going to be used to playing as black armoured marines. When the new players come in, it's going to look weird!

Well a quote from Twitter pretty much flat out said...
Wow, a whopping 95% of you have bought the Special Edition (http://bit.ly/137MER) for twice the price. You guys are the best! <tear> #fb
So I'm guessing a lot. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

It'd be interesting to see the raw sales data, I hope NS2 sells well!

Seems about 95% of the player will have black armour now ^_^.
Just wish they would add something to aliens to give it a feel.. like they did with the black marine armour!
Not sure what mind.. maybe some glowing eyes hehe
Can´t wait until the first alpha will be pronounced
(also got the SE <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />)
