First off, you can currently find the soundtrack and the art book at.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\natural selection 2\DeluxeEdition
So what did you guys think? I thought the soundtrack was fantastic, especially "The future".
Also make sure you listen to the soundtrack as you read the art-book. A lot of great parts in there, plus concept art for the new maps coming out. I enjoyed it alot.

I think I'll rewatch the launch tailer in HD while it downloads ;)
Its on page 7 of the artbook
Biodome and Discovery has more plant props!
I am currently putting my map (was gonna be called ns2_Biodome) on hold due to lack of grass (I tried making it as a sprite prop but really couldn't get it to work) and I hope that UWE will release the tree/grass/flora props into the World Engine as soon as they are made! :)
Suppose I need a new name now... :(
Also try playing NS2 with the soundtrack running in the background, it is pretty great actually.
Problem is... its not a sphere... its a dome .. xD
Its literally a huge dome facility on the surface of an un-terraformed planet! xD
But yeah music is also good to listen to whilst waiting to get into a game.
Anyone else trying to join the server with 120 people in? xD
I love the soundtrack and hope you'll get these new maps out soon enough :3
I never thought about the references that much, but it's nice to know where they came from.
I did notice a couple missing words here and there throughout the book, though.
i cant believe they just gave away the upgrade to deluxe edition to us early adopters who preordered before launch but im glad they did i got my copy the 1st day it was available steam and this deluxe edition content was worth the wait best game bonus ive ever recieved
thank you UWE
I didn't listen to everything yet, the tracks are nicely done, but I don't think I would listen to it everyday :)
I have to agree with the other poster that I REALLY liked the other exo concept. It's a shame it had too many issues to be used cause it really looks more like a person in armor rather than purely machine.

I can confirm the strange Jump in the music. I noticed it while listening in. Beyond that little error, the soundtrack is amazing.
Cory is an amazing artist. Everything is so consistent and realistic looking. I also love the little touches of personality in some of the concepts (namely marines with disgusted faces and things like that).
The artbok really fired me up for the post 1.0 maps ;)
But there are only 2 Avatars? OK :D Well, GOG has supplied me with enough avatars anyways :P
And what about the wallpapers? I saw them in the forum before the release. They look cool and well done, but I would have prefered something that is more like the original game style. Anyways, it is free and the music is well done! Thanks UWE! I whish they would give us the choice of which track we want to hear in the main menu. Because I liked the first menu music the most ;)
It would have to be reaaally expensive as phase-gateing exos is pretty overpowered.
edit: loved the concept of the Alien structures originating from sea creatures as well. now that I remember, a lot of the settings in NS1 featured murky underwater hive rooms:
ns_bast's Feedwater Control
ns_hera's Ventilation 3-C
ns_eclipse's Computer Core
ns_nothing's Power Silo
damn there was a lot of water, those environments were pretty cool
Also, I want my soundtrack in FLAC ! I demand it ! :(
I was also looking at the wallpapers and some of them look familiar, did a community member do them?
That's all critique i have.
Love the soundtrack!
Love the Artbook!
And i can't wait for ns2_descend and ns2_discovery! Also so i can use the models in my map :D

Cory is brilliant.
