are you kidding me? Why the hell did you choose your releasedate 1 day BEFORE StarCraft II will be released!! This week will be like all the holydays combined. I am not quite sure which game will steal the other one the show, because those 2 are the only games I have been waitng for so long!! But I am looking forward to it and hope I will meet some people from the good old NS1 times.
And please, PLEASE don't make the same mistake again and add some kind of "combat" mode.
I think it's fine to release it the day before SC2. It's only an Alpha, not the full release. It's not ideal but no biggy...
I hope you can reconsider the SE final date though. I want you to get more money and players. Lots of people will want to sign up to purchase the game so they can play too.
If you won't change your mind on the SE end date, then perhaps come up with something similar to take its place.
tbh if you just removed the black armour perk from the SE preorder you would achieve the dedication to loyal fans + allow people hearing about the alpha, an option to get in on the action

Afterall, you already have Starcraft 2. Its called Warhammer 40k. AND you dont need to pay for maps
I can't help but reflect that there's been hardly any evidence of Dynamic Infestation in a long time. I hope it hasn't been dropped entirely (especially its dynamic aspect). Though I haven't lost hope noticing the texture at the base of the Hydra.
I know it's been asked in the past, but are we getting any special edition skin for aliens? In NS1 I was aliens 90% of the time, so armor means little to me (though in the past year, due to preparing, I've been playing marine more).
I've never been so excited for an alpha before. As it is I still often launch the pre-alpha out of excitement. I'm sure I'll enjoy whatever's in the alpha, and will be prepared to report bugs.
I don't feel the SC2 aligned launch is a bad thing since that at least ensures the actual release will be more distant from SC2.
Ehm i'm very happy we're gonna play this alpha soon, but remember this is just alpha so don't pretend too much like i've red until now XD (people asking for dynamic infestation etc...) XD
And screw SC2! It's an uninspired re-hash of a game concept that had been overdone to death half a decade ago. All hype over nothing, much like a new Britney Spears album. Millions will buy it, and then all but the most hard core fans will quickly shelve it.
I believe there is no Onos or Fade because there is no Heavy or Jets? No? Yes? Maybe so? Almost forgot... WWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great stuff guys, you are currently involved in something that would be a dream for me. Hope everything goes great for the initial impressions of the Alpha on release.
Aaaahh the patience is paying off, the engine test was already a enjoyment to finally see a glimpse of ns2 but this is were its at.
However maybe i overlooked but it does not say if the alpha version already has a working multiplayer for now i will assume its already there since ns is a multiplayer game but seeing as its alpha it might not be in yet.

considering it was originally slated to be a source game should it not have similar performance goals?

Congratulations on this milestone and make sure you have that well deserved party after the release using our cash.
i guess even the alpha beats it

My faith in this actually coming out has just increased 10-fold!
