[Blink]

For those not in the know, Natural Selection 2 has finally hit the big 1.0:

You can bag it on steam, so head over to the NS2 site for more details

I been playing the beta for the past few weeks - seems to be that they changed something in the final build that makes the game crash happy - other then that good game!

Looks fantastic. I might pick this up, but I'm worried about the performance. Anyone got anything they could share on that?

Looks like if you buy the deluxe edition at their website, you'll save over 17 euro's, for those who live in Europe. I have just bought the deluxe edition via paypal on their website, which costed me 20 euros, instead of paying 36,99 euros on steam. And after purchase you can unlock the game on steam via redeem game with keycode.

Just letting everyone know.

I've been playing since it's FIRST alpha/beta.. The games really pretty great and captures the best of the original ns hl1 mod. As far as performance It runs great on my machine -> "i7 8 gigs GTX570" I still have a free full game gift if anyone wants it...

too buggy, crashes & freezes galore.

Though I do like this, especially because its a source engine game "I believe?" That actually did particles right for the most part.

See I thought the same thing since the original was a GoldSrc mod but they developed their own, "Spark Engine" for this. I thought it was even better that they were releasing the tools with the game as well. Looking forward to playing. Maybe we could get a big Lopers game hosted in it? I just gotta get the game myself cause I am low on cash after buying that British SMG.

Even though you would need big blue, you can run a 100 slot server - 50v50 - any one up for a gorg rush on that?

The game runs spark - i got a 2 year old computer, runs fine @ 1440*990 - wide screen, but to many particle on screen kills the FPS, currently playing in 800x600 & still looks sweet!

I think you mean "deep blue". Big blue is the nickname for IBM, deep blue beat Kasparov.

Also, Deep blue was a shitty supercomputer anyway, My gpu is probably more powerful. No joke.

[vcool]

Kasparov was paid, don't believe the lies.

Also, Knights, I'll relieve you off the game if you don't want it.

That's the one!

NS2 is absolutely fantastic. Teamwork has never felt so rewarding since the glory days of cs 1.6!

Okay just played this after a friend gifted it for me and it's amazing. Best RTS/FPS muliplayer game on the market imo.
