<div class="IPBDescription">Download or CD?</div>Hi! I would very much like to get an answer on this question because it would mean a lot to me seeing as I've been waiting for NS2 forever and feel like crying with joy after getting that email which said PRE-ORDER NOW with big friendly letters!



Is it a download i pre-order or will I be able to get it on a CD so I wont never ever be able to lose it?


Please tell me I'll be able to get it on a CD, this game is more important to me than Half-Life 2: Episode 3.. or any of the Half-Life games, atually

(well maybe not HL1 seeing as it allowed me to play the first NS..)

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's download... I don't know if they will release a CD version, but if you pre-order you will get a key, which, when the time comes, allowes you to download the game online..

    Steam allows unlimited downloads.

    Assuming that everyone who's currently pre-order the game can download via Steam, yes unlimited downloads for everyone. However, if complications arise and the people who've currently pre-order can't download via Steam. There's no idea how many downloads you will be able to have, we should probably assume it's unlimited.

    (Off-Topic: Yay my first post :o)

    i don't think the key (that we who preordered got) is to download.
    i'm guessing the game installation is free to download unlimited times.
    (possible it will be used for alpha and beta though)
    but you need the key to play online.

    like with diablo 2, you can pirate it all you want, and blizzard can basically give out free copies.
    but the ONLY place to really play it is on b.net ladder, which you can ONLY access with a legit key.
