<div class="IPBDescription">is there going to be one?</div>As I already asked in another topic, is there going to be anything and where can we watch it. Cause as I understood, the game will be out around 11 am on 31st for me, so I ll be at work, and the only way I can join the fun will be watching devs getting drunk online. And I want it.

So, anyplans, devs?

    On the time of the release the release trailer will be shown on the countdown page. I am not aware of other things that may happen.

    Yep! 1700 US-PDT. No big launch event, if launch goes off without any serious hitches we will be having a small celebration here at the office, but then straight back into it!

    The biggest party is the one I can't wait to go to - playing the game with all the new people!! Its going to be so much fun!!

    ohh... look at these kiddies... so cute...

    "gamebreaking bug"... "too drunk to fix"...

    come on, they are all grown up men, I am sure they know how to handle a bottle or five... and still will be able to hold a screwdriver and their hands..


    Come on, UWE, hold an event.

    I would seriosly crush party their office, If I lived in SF.. Pity I've been on another continent at the moment.

    Are there going to be any community events?

    I still remember being in the NSRadio irc channel for the 3.2 release party.
    Maybe Hugh can do a livestream release party?

    game is releasing in 4 hours. download and play. a release is a release, there isnt 2 sides to it.

    9PM tonight for me. I cant wait, im getting out of work at 8PM, getting home, watching it download super fast, and jumping right in. I already told my wife shes taking care of my son for the next few days, dude is fatherless for at least 48 hours. I know, im a horrible parent.

    Time is better spend on balancing the game.

    because it will die very fast if the balance now if the one they plan on having for release.

    The balance doesnt work for public servers at all. mark my words aliens will be loosing 75% of the time if not more. Marines are simple to forgiving.

    So to recap less party more balance work go go go!

    They should add little party hats to all the player models, just think about it. An Onos running around with a party hat with little frilly stuff on it and streamers! Ok maybe it wouldn't be appropriate for release but maybe next year to celebrate the release, since you know, it's like 2 and a half hours to go till release.

    They look really calm. I was expecting a veritable monkey house of activity. How can we be sure it isn't pre-recorded?

    The throat singing space techno by the way, did anyone else hear it? Love it! NS2 is true to its Mongolian roots! EDIT: Oh, wait, I've already heard that one. Still. :P

    The launch time has been forwarded by 7 hours. The website has also been updated with the correct launch countdown now.
