Exosuits?

Fuck yes! EXOSUITS! With mini guns and power fists!

Also, new map, new grenades launcher model and finally a pre-order date.

You can pre-order the game on September 4th on Steam.

Ah, the good old heavy armour and HMG... ;D

New GL, good. But I must say that the old one was gorgeous back in the day. I used Angry Wolf's(?) model pack, and the models were so good that the NS team adopted his GL, medpack and ammopack models.

Now the only thing we need is Kyliegirls cute-alien models.. ;D

I´m a bit curious about how the Exosuit will affect balance. It seems to be quite tough and deals lots of damage. Balance seems to be really good at the moment, so throwing this massive "tank" in will certainly affect it.
I hope the Devs will give us more detailed info on it, soon, so we know what to expect.

Cute alien models? Isn´t the Gorge already totally cute? :D

It´s great how balanced the game still is, despite the Marines having "Battletech" Exo Suits, jet packs etc.
At first I thought the new Exo Suits would totally mess up the balance, but as with every heavy asset in the game, they need support from the other players to be fully effective.
Also Veil, the new map is pretty nice. It´s really big, but has some really nice looking areas that play pretty good.

Natural Selection 2 can now be pre-ordered on Steam:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/4920/

The game costs ~25 Dollar (or 22,99 Euros) and if you pre-order it now you´ll get an upgrade to the Digital Deluxe Edition, which contains a few nice extra goodies (and will cost around 30 Dollar after the pre-order):
 
- Official ~1 hour soundtrack
- Digital 40+ pages art book
- Exclusive wallpapers and Steam avatars
- Exclusive Marine in-game model

Beta access has been closed now, but the game will be available in Octobre. No exact date right now, but only a few weeks.

Also, people who´ve preordered the game earlier than today will get an automatic upgrade to the DDE and get one free copy of the game to give it to friends. For free.

Mine´s reserved as well. But the DDE for not even 25 Euros is a great deal. ;)

Ah Flippy, two weeks ago you would have gotten access to the game immediately with the beta.
A bit too late for that.  :-[

Buy it anyways, Flippy. Paying 23 Euros for the DDE is a really great deal. You get tons of extra stuff and you support an awesome indie team which has a great concept and went all the way to release it. Plus, the game is lots of fun, combines different playstyles, looks gorgeous, has mod/map support and has a team that keeps developing it even after the release.
