    So the deal with DX11 is that it only makes the game render faster right? I mean we're not getting cool DX11 effects here are we? Still wonder if the transparency effects are coming for aliens.

    yeah pretty much to run things faster, my speculation is that we might get some cool DX11 effects in the future and this ( along with openGL ) will make it possible to port the engine/games to linux, mac and maybe even consoles.

    My guess...
    - DX11 / OpenGL
    - NS2_Eclipse
    - NS2_Biodome
    - Female Marine Armour
    - Hand Grenades
    - Further LuaJIT Enhancements

    They will be teased in front of our eyes for the Content Update coming. I'll be disappointed if its not new maps, the game is in dire need of them. I'll be even more disappointed if its just Charlie's new game, i want ns2!!!

    Oooh further LuaJIT Enhancements / Server enhancements would be beauty.

    Engine update to take advantage of multi-core processors... After all, they're going to need 2 free cores for the female marine physics... \:D/

    Meeee too. I really hope they aren't hyping us up just to promote some other game. Unless that game is NS2: Blood Dragon

    Considering current trends, the game should support some sort of cloud. I am sure the announcement will address this issue.

    What? I assume when you say cloud you mean a web-hosted service. Explain?

    Probably will be something I don't care about, like female marines or the new game unless it is ns2 related.

    Guess it's new content update info and maybe bit more.

    Side question: what is that Bus thing people joke about? Could anyone wise enlighten? =)

    Old NS1 joke, regarding a system that was being developed called BUS that no one knows anything about

    They are going to announce that the DX11 support is for DX11.2 and will run twice as fast but thanks to MS will require us to play only on windows 8!

    Instead multicore support would be great!

    Obviously following current trends the game will now have trading cards!

    Considering they specifically said that biodome would be revealed during the Euro open on July 13/14 I really doubt that.

    I have changed my mind, I am guessing:

    TV integration and Restrictive DRM. Now you can only play NS2 after authenticating with a 42 Character unique online play pass, which must be entered every 15 minutes or your hard drive melts. But it is okay because you can watch all your favorite ESPN sports right from in Game!

    Idk it would be pretty neat if we could have NS2 backgrounds for our steam profiles with the new system in place. Preferably with the Exo or Fade.

    I swear, if it is the biodome map, I will quit NS2 and tell all my friends to not buy it. I want my NS2 b250 exactly as it is right now. I would hate if anything changes.
  • Electr0Electr0 Join Date: 2011-10-31 Member: 130337Members
    Im guessing dx11/opengl and linux game/server support, also eventually possibly combat will go official when the new version comes with extra levels and build menu, remember they wanted our game play videos?

    Exactly. Do you know how long it takes to learn a complete whole map? It is crucial to know from where the enemies can attack you. And we all know, that learning something new is bad. Also my ego can't stand being a newb in this map. So I need to delete the game when this map comes out and tell all my friends how bad the devs are with all their changes and new features that come for free! ;)
