I pre-ordered the special edition. Currently, I don't play Natural Selection that much, but I am looking very much forward to number 2. Because I played Natural Selection with great pleasure all that time and for free, I decided to dish out the extra cash for the special edition as a form of gratitude for those great gaming moments.
Interesting to see, how many "old" forum users exhumed their forum accounts, (like me:)) after the pre-order for NS2 was announced. As soon as my PP account is ready, I'm going towards for the special edition as well. If NS2 makes the same amount of fun as NS1 did, it would be quite more worth than 30€ (40$).
However, I hope that NS2 gets - at least - the same awesome user base NS1 had, since it's not really a casual game.
Got the special edition a couple days ago. The confirmation and key were received within minutes of the transaction. Alpha access is icing on the cake.
Just ordered it can't wait for the Alpha <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
I absolutely loved the first NS, and pre-ordered the SE.
I think I owe the devs for giving me hours and hours of fun on the first NS, and it makes me feel good to support smaller developers who are working on projects they obviously really care about.
I think I speak for everyone when I say, take our money, buy a few brews and get crackin' cause we can't wait to enjoy the fruits of your labor!

I've been watching the game progress, and not long ago one of my mates said that there was a new teaser vid for NS2 and pre-orders, I immeadiately came on and bought the special edition, I can't wait!
Waiting for paypal to process my bank account transaction, so I can buy the special edition. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
pre-ordered the special edition within minutes of hearing the announcement. No game has satisfied my strategic/competitive gaming "itch" with such creativity, so much so that after paying the pre-order fee I felt like I should have payed even more for the original mod... so pre-ordering was the least support I could show.
I've never been so anxious and excited about a game before its release. Since pre-ordering I've spent all my gaming on NS1 as nostalgic preparation and being reminded of how great NS1 was makes the anticipation even more consuming.
I'm glad to see that the "Unknown Worlds" team is staying independent and true to what players like myself came to appreciate. I'm looking forward to a fun & productive alpha/beta.
I'll buy it tomorrow, probably. for some reason the paypal conversion rate is .78aud to 1usd even though it hasn't been that low for quite some time. is there some way to pay via direct CC? I really despise paypal.
edit: bought! just noticed the "WARNING YOU WILL BE GYPPED" bit under the paypal section.
I just got Special Edition and can't wait for alpha testing. I have one question though. As marine you get cool black armor, but I play as alien 90% of the time. Will I get a cool gorgie hat for having bought the Special Edition? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" /> ..it would only seem natural to get something wicked as Special Edition alien don't you think?
Comments
Its kind of funny, if 98% got special wont the 'normal' marine armor become the rare? We'll all be in black xD<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
It will be sad if the only people who buy this game will have done so during pre-order. Hopefully not!
i did to

Looking forward to the alpha, been playing ns since it came out and still do from time to time so really looking forward to this.
