    Yeah, that's the first thing that came to mind for me too douchebagatron. I doubt that's it though. I have a feeling that if we ever found out what the BUS was we would be like, "meh." Maybe it was revolutionary 8 years ago but I doubt that whatever it was could fulfill current expectations. Then again, maybe BUS was vapor all along...?

    I thought the BUS was supposed to be a player tracking system, which ns2stats and that new player ranking page already takes care of.

    Let me guess: stat tracking, much needed browser updates, matchmaking, some blurb about the next big update being a few months off, a comment about how we're the greatest community for donating to reinforced, and god willing there will be gorge plushies.

    My bet is on gorge plushies.

    The key term in the post is "community". My guess is thus that they've figured out the matchmaking system. Although they said it's never been done before, which matchmaking has...

    My guess is Sabot goes online

    My guess is comprehensive Egg improvements.

    Well, unless whatever it is can cure the pathetic amount of pub stomping that's rampant on every server that isn't locked, I'd say you can keep it.

    Let me guess, it is something that will just be a catering to veteran players that will only hurt new players and thus making it harder for NS2 to keep and retain new players.

    NS2 playerbase as a result will disappear completely.

    If you want to impress, you should figure out a way to bring in new players and figure out what is needed to retain them, going free 2 play would certainly be one way to bring in an influx of badly needed players that will continually bring them in.

    Yes new players are badly needed, but for gods sake free weekends are bad enough I can't Imagine how bad it would be freeweekend forever.

    Dude, your hair was really messy this video. You obviously lower your standards. I'm never gonna watch your videos again.
    Did you even shave?

    Something along the lines of:

    "It's game over, CCTEE won the game. GG, all hail the King!"

    Doing videos with a basketball sitting in the middle of the camera is pretty unbecoming of a professional.

    Something big huh? Was expecting big changes at October 31, you know, NS birthday, but let's see what they have up their sleeves.

    Right now just hoping for NS2_eclipse comeback, UI and commander improvements (squad management, minimap polish etc pp)

    Uh, NS2 is open source? I mean, Spark isn't, but technically all the game code is in lua and open source.

    I actually don't know what this announcement is. At least I think I don't? I might, but I doubt it. If it's something I already know then it's definitely pretty rad, and if it's not it's probably radder.

    Maybe they come up with a user friendly editor and revive the mod scene... on the other hand, that's not very realistical.

    :D
