    Will black armor stay in game? or it will be replaced by "special" a new armor ?
  • Onii-chanOnii-chan Join Date: 2002-11-05 Member: 7164Members
    Black Armor will remain for those who pre-ordered back then.
    They'll also get this armor.

    Yes, as stated in many of the posts before you the Black Armor will be in-game and you will have the option to switch between armor's to choose which one you want to wear.

    Yes you will get the Deluxe Armor plus the Black Armor if you had it and will be able to switch between them in-game if you so wish

    Finally, great :)

    It shows for me up on steam if I search for:

    "Natural" or "Selection"
    but not if I type "Natural Selection" or "Natural Selection 2"

    Also right now it's not on the front page, some minutes ago it was.
    I would also be interested in how we are able to get this goodies as preorderer, like the free friend-copy.

    As i say on your youtube video, i'm really happy for you guys. Congrats, it was sometimes difficult but you did it, with only a small team and a real passion. You are a true exemple of what a developper must be. Thanks a lot for all your efforts, and i'm glad i was part of this journey.

    Congratulations, UWE. This is a very special game and unlike most anything else out there today. I pimp the game to anyone who's interested!

    As it says on posts before you get the free copt through Steam when they release them (They haven't yet) and the goodies I imagine you get when the game is downloaded or they are going to have an option to download them seperately

    Congratulations again Charlie, Max, Cory, Brian, Brian, Dushan, Hugh and all the contributors. Thank you for making such an excellent game. Thank you for embracing open source development, this doesn't receive the recognition it deserves. Thank you for your passion, vision and dedication.

    My first post on these forums was to congratulate you on the release of Gorilla and you've made some remarkable progress since then. I'm not normally one to sign up to forums but the community here is pretty awesome. I even pimped NS2 on facebook which is another thing I don't normally do. It's a worthy cause.

    Also, thank you for the free copy of NS2. Four of my friends from "real life" joined the beta, four people who I played NS1 with. We have already figured out which of our mutual friends will be receiving our extra copies and I hope that leads to more sales as our extended network of friends get on the bandwagon.

    It really is a fantastic idea on UWE's part. I promised my extra copy to a friend, so long as he promised to purchase a copy for someone else if he ends up loving NS2 (which I know he will). It's a win/win.

    NS2 is currently in 5th and 6th place on Steam's top 10 sellers list, not sure how that can happen but any way you look at it that's a great first day!

    My guess is that they took all the sales from the pre-pre-orders and Steam read it as sales

    Ah wrong formulated Q from my side.. sorry!

    My Q is then : will SE version of game have Black Armor or "new" green one (in default) after upgrade to deluxe?
    Because Cory says, that with 1.0 release there will not be a option to choose armor type! .. that was my Question

However, this may need to wait until right after we release 1.0, as there is still so much more to do to get this game ready that is higher priority. But it will definitely happen.

    BTW: I'm not Black-Armor *swearing* ... I'm just curios :)

    From a little shed, to top ten sellers list on steam, a great circuit of gaming conventions, hype, swag, collaborations, a open kimono from start to shipping. A translation page, huge modding community. And a heart of gold. You guys truly live up to you mandate, and keep as many promises as you can.

    Unite the world through gaming.

    Thank you

    Unfortunately you cannot get the black armor anymore it was in for the limited deluxe editions that UWE were selling on their website a while ago.

    I had to reread the question, to understand what he really wanted to know.

    He is referring to the situation for all Special Edition and Black Armor owners, when their game will be upgraded to the Digital Deluxe Edition and they start the game, if they then will have the Black Armor or the DDE Armor ingame as long as they can't switch which one they want to use.

    Imo Black should be the default.

    Congratulations on finishing your project guys.
    And thanks for the free copy of the game. It was really an amazing experience to play this game in closed beta (alpha) for over a year.
    I wish you all the best for the upcoming release and hope that you guys will make a good profit on this one.
    UWE ROX!

    You Guys are the only DEVs I've ever sticked to. Since the damn old days with the cool flashy natural selection website. Since silly mini skulk babblers all around my ass. Thank you for not ever wasting my time, UWE.

    I wish you the very best for the Future.

It was an oversight and will be updated soon.

    You can only buy the game through Steam now and will not get instant Beta access, this is reserved for the pre-Steam preorders. You will get access when the game goes live on Steam.


    To answer other questions.

    <ul><li>No the Black armor will not be available for the "Deluxe edition", it was a one time only DLC for the now N/A Special Edition</li><li>All the people who preordered before the Steam release (SE And normal) will get

    The "Deluxe edition"<ul><li>NS2 Official Soundtrack (almost 1 hour of music)</li><li>Digital Art Book (40 pages)</li><li>Exclusive wallpapers and avatars</li><li>Exclusive new in-game marine armor</li><li>From twitter @NS2 "Pre-ordering on Steam does not give you beta access - beta access is closed"</li></ul>

    And on top of that they will get

    <ul><li>A free upgrade to the Deluxe Edition detailed above</li><li>A free copy of NS2 Standard Edition to give to a friend or stroke lovingly</li><li>Continued private beta access right up to launch day in October</li></ul></li></ul>

    <!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    i bought the SE in january 2010, where can i find the "soundtrack, digital art book and so on?!
    i dont get it >_>
