    Awsome trailer, that onos is going to bring back the fear i oringinally felt in the first ns when someone screamed onos.

    Would love to pre-order, but for some reason you wont accept the card i have tied to my paypal, and its the only one i have <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" /> hope you dont run out of special editions! ( or you could be nice and save me one till i can figure out another way to send you the cash )

    Pre-ordered the deluxe version for myself, about to pre-order the regular version for my ladyfriend.

    Holy beans on toast, that trailer was awesome. I liked the "F4" on the door.

    P.S. Charlie, Fam offered to do you a new logo if you're open to it.

    Very much a teaser.

    $40 for the alpha/beta + 'Black' Marine skins (I'm assuming you mean armour) and $20 for the full game with no previews and no frills attached. Seems okay, I just wonder if the people who know the game best (generally people who have 'grown up with NS', who are in their 20s or late teens now and have less disposable income considering the current recession) are going to be shut out a bit by the +$20 for aplha/beta testing.

    Incidentally, the F4 on the door in the teaser was a nice touch. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    early 20's? Hehe, more like late 20's. The only things that annoyed me in the teaser was the short blackout when the rine gets hit by the door, the pause is too short. Otherwise, crapped my pants of joy.

    Preordered SE version as I feel NS the half life mod is better than some full commercial games I played!

    Best of luck with ongoing development, I eagerly await the first versions of NS2!

    OMG! Wow! It's really almost here! For real!

    Can't wait for the 1080p version of the trailer in h264.

    F4 bit was awesome.

    Oh, the congratulatory pic reminds me of the song "I'm on a boat".

    The game looks fantastic visually, cannot wait to play it myself. I was a bit borderline about buying the Special Edition version, but NS has given me so much entertainment for free over the years that $40 seemed pretty insignificant.

    That onos looks amazing, I hope it looks as good in game. I'm looking forward to the high quality version of the trailer so we can really see what it looks like.

    I feel like I owe you money for the amount of game playing I got out of NS1 so I was happy to preorder the special edition.

    I didn't notice at the time but I hope preodering won't exclude me from adding the game to steam?

    Awesome teaser! Pre-ordered the special edition like many others did. Can't wait to see more ingame stuff!

    The F4 on the door was a very nice touch!

    Well I've played NS for the best part of 7 years without paying anything so I pre-ordered the Dulux version too (Little worried about the lack of steam support with that though).

    Can't wait for the alpha / beta / release and giving some first hand feedback.
  • thomasjthomasj Join Date: 2008-12-21 Member: 65823Members
    That was amazing!

    I have watched it about 100 times today I can't get enough of it. Congrats guys, you have come a long way.

    Just got home so now I can pre-order my copy <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />. The Onos looks way better, I can't wait to see the fade!

    Looks like you got alot of peoples attention with it and that it is doing well, you guys definitely deserve it.

    All the hard work is now beginning to pay off!

    I've watched it give or take 50 times. The Onos looks amazing, seriously.. Wow. Just ****ing wow. It looks much more meaner than the last Onos. I want to see the rest now! lol.. God I don't think I have been this excited about a game in years.

    One question though, I noticed the sound behind the door appeared to have an occlusion effect applied to it (or so it seemed). Is this actually a feature of the engine, and if so, what API are you using for the sound if you don't mind me asking.

    pre_ordered_special_edition += 5; (Christmas and bdays sorted for a while <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />)
  • niaccurshiniaccurshi Join Date: 2002-12-30 Member: 11629Members, Constellation
    I echo what Cheesy said, including the question about steam. Off to watch the teaser again, work out if that alien behind the onos is a skulk or not!

    Greetings from Spain!! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    I'm thrilled by the news. I can´t wait :___(
  • glimmermanglimmerman Join Date: 2004-04-29 Member: 28300Members, Constellation
    0:15 - 0:17..... there is a skulk running under the grate <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    Finally a new way to know wheter you are oldschool or not.

    Did you recognize the F4 joke in the NS2 teaser? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    Other than that:

    The Pre-ordered Versions won't be linked to steam, is that right?

    And what can we Germans expect from the steam-release? A delayed and cut release? Just a delayed release? Or will be actually get a full version the day it releases?

    Who is Flayra?
    What is NS2?
    I don't understand!!!

    Perhaps this button will help...

    ... oh f#*#! I just bought something!

    P.S Like the video... it is like tequila... it makes me happy.
  • steppin'razorsteppin'razor Join Date: 2008-09-18 Member: 65033Members, Constellation
    Pre-ordered the spec edition... Looking forward to testing this badboy

    On a side note anyone else notice the skulk in the teaser <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />
  • SlaughtSlaught Join Date: 2005-02-12 Member: 40780Members
    Can't wait to see more and take part in the alpha&beta testing. Why are you guys worried about special edition Steam support? Is there something I'm not aware of?

    Hehe, it seems a lot of people bought the special edition, and rightfully so. As countless people have stated before me, you guys do deserve this.
    Seeing as SO many people have pre-ordered the special edition; couldn't you maybe make it that instead of just getting the special black armour, you can sort of customize it a bit as well? Nothing over the top (e.g. super bright pink armour with green arm bands and ponies), but just budges/decals etc. Just an idea...

    Been looking forward to this for a very long time. Keep up all the good work guys. On a side note is there a way to change the email it sends my updates to? I bought the SE but forgot my paypal is linked to a old email i dont check often.

    Impressive trailer, Onos looks really mean, that stupid marine should have just bhopped away!

    Just kidding of course, I did pre-order the deluxe edition, as a thank you for the developers. I am curious though, how exactly do we cash in on the "eternal gratitude" part of the pre-order? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />
