This first one is NS2HD[3], an attempt at running around in an Alpha build: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkT4pqM7YnY" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkT4pqM7YnY</a>

This second one is NS2HD[500], a fragfest filmed in build 220. The mind boggles at the difference: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLuH3agbhiY" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLuH3agbhiY</a>

And to think, this is just the pre-game show. Release will truly mark the beginning.

    Great collection of footage showing what happens in NS2. Nicely done and cool music to boot.

    Amazing vid! Very impressed that you did all that from just watching some pub games!
    And of course props to simon as well.

    This should go up on the steam store...

    Good video, but too bad it never showed any fast-paced commanding.

    I still remember the "shooting gallery" level that was released way before that. You know, the one with the disintegrating targets.

    It's come a long way for sure :)

    Good video.

    My mind isn't boggled by the difference, looks like what you'd get from 2 and a bit years worth of hard work from talented people.

    EDIT: Hugh, did you record this in pub play using the "record" command, then re-cam it in the cinematic editor? Is that possible?

    It looks a lot like re-cammed demos from the golden age of Quake 2 machinima.

    Will the song be included in the sound track?

    Once it goes v1.0 and we're no longer under NDA, I've got a cute playlist of bugs and random stuff of about 102 videos currently. Some of the none game breaking exploits and such you've already seen :P

    The demo record command wasn't introduced up to around build200 I think it was. Would love to see a working HLTV or Source Film Maker in Spark though.

    A hell of a difference! Although the performance seemed better in the Alpha :P (very TIC) Seriously though, congrats guys! I'm still amazed to this day what such a small dev team has accomplished!

    *Just give me some Turrets like the ones out of the movie 'Aliens' and I'll be damned proud.. DAMNED PROUD :D

    Is it more insulting to say that you sucked back then, or that you were great back then and thus imply that you haven't gotten any better?
    Either way the videos are still brilliant. ;)

    I remember playing in the early days on my terrible rig. Jumped on a rail and got stuck in it, then my game crashed after emptying my clip. Good times!
