Ya know, when I pre-ordered way back and saw the stage of development, I knew it would be the 10 year. Seemed so fitting. Congrats to everyone on the team and in the community. The amount of patience and faith in UWE is simply unbelievable. I can't think of a single community that has endured so much and been rewarded so greatly.
I demand to know when and where the release party is! Along with waiting for the game, I have been waiting to see Flayra at the end of a celebratory bottle!

THE RELEASE TRAILER. Guys, I'm not kidding, it HAS to be awesome. You HAVE TO make an awesome one. It has to tell what the game is about and end up with LOADS of thrill. Is important. So few a games get it right. Aaaah!
EDIT: The release date video is pretty encouraging. Like the ominous stuff. YOU CAN DO IT CORY!<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
As I post this Cory is recording scene after scene of epic shizzle :D
Make the trailer as bad ass as possible :p I want this game to be the top played game on steam and it will be! Make the trailer like your exosuit reveal trailer like in the start where it looks animated with the Onos killing the marines. Then you have that awesome music start playing the whole video. Make sure to show all the awesome things about the game like the power going out, exosuits, onos, infestation! Try not to show too much commander gameplay because that's pretty boring you want to grab people and make them WANT to play it and buy it NOW.
Get framerates up across the board, because it matters more than everything else. "Bad help system for newbies" will be a footnote in a review, compared to "I tried to play it but it was running at 40 fps on my brand new system"
I wish to congratulate the UWE, thank you for a release date. On the 31st, i will not be eating candy, i will close my blinds, shut the door, and play all night long. See you all on the battlefield >:D
Due to technical difficulties, the release date will be postponed until Feb. 15, 2013.
JUST TROLLIN!!!
: )
Seriously though - I downloaded and played NS1 on Halloween ten years ago and was amazed at how FUN it was. NS2 is even more fun (and way better looking!) My compliments to Charlie and crew for sticking to their guns and making this dream a reality.
<!--coloro:#FFC0CB--><span style="color:#FFC0CB"><!--/coloro-->We all knew it would be on the 10th anniversary, but it's nice to see it confirmed at last. Also, maybe you should make a special video on NS2HD featuring gameplay of NS1 with some of the oldschool teams? I think it'd be a great tribute, and you could show all the new players what this is all about!

Are you going to increase the cost of the game when it's released? I think you should. It'll get more publicity after it's released; there's only a finite amount of gamers who are going to buy your product whether it's $25 or $30 dollars. It adds incentive to pre-purchase. You've made an excellent game that is worthy of comparison to EA shooters or sports game which sell for $60 dollars every time it's sold. I think you're selling too cheaply. If not, just ignore what I've written. Congrats on the fixed released date.
It's nice to see the game finally being released to public.
Hope build 222 puts turrets in use somehow. Also I think there is not enough maps in this game: docking, summit, veil, tram, mineshaft... we want more! :)
Althogh now I am constantly, constantly, thinking about NS2 and release. I was doing fine thinking it would release "sometime in october" but now that there is a set date, Im going nuts, the days dont go by fast enough man!

I've been following the development for over two months now. Watched almost every stream and everything on youtube that has Ns2 in it.
Can't wait 'till i can play this, i'm so pumped! :D
Once again, Congratulations UWE! <3
congrats guys, looking forward to the release.

Id loved NS1 and felt bad for never buying the constellation badge and figured this would be a good way to pay you back for all the hours of NS1.
400+ hrs of Alpha and Beta play on NS2 later and I cant say enough good things about it. Its kept me off Warcraft, so it must be good!
Thanks for delivering one of my favorite games of all times and I hope UWE can make more fantastic games in the future.
Whoop! x
ps. hope the black armour adopters get a mention somewhere heehee x
So is it going to be released on 0:00 GMT?
