^Good choice.

Anyway, UWE has shown a teaster of an upcoming feature for NS2:

Pretty slick animations, together with the also upcoming SoulCatcher2000 it´ll make the game even better!

Damn, t'was close. But alas, FINNSTACK didn't make it to the finals.

Edit: I must say that NS2's streaming/e-sports UI is just awesome.

Great Stream, first round of the final was awesome! 4 minutes blitzkrieg, crazy.
Yeah, the spectator overlay is great, perfect for streams and competetive play. Unfortunately I didn´t see you play Thorondor, might rewatch the stream later, though.

So, Archaea won because the other team forfeited?

It seems that rest of the free gift copies of NS2 are being sent out now. So if you pre-ordered NS2 before Steam, you should receive your extra copy soon. There was some problems and people like me, who pre-ordered the collectors' edition on day 1 didn't get their sopy at the same time with the others.

I got my gift copy last night, so everyone should have theirs before the release in October.

Got mine already and gifted it to a friend whom I´ve hooked up on the game. ;)

Anyway, there´s currently the finals of "Blinds Beta Cup" running on Twitch. They´re also going to hand out a free copy of the game later on, so if you´ve got nothing to do, want to watch some NS2 competetive gameplay and (with some luck) want to win a free copy, check ou the stream.

Awesome video by the "Old Ass Gamers" community for the upcoming Guru Tournament. Love especially the last song. :D

Also, good article on the game by PC Gamer magazine. A tad short, but sums up the whole experience nicely. The new Beta Build 222 is also on the way.

Nice songs! I´m still looking for a full version of "Gorgie Girl", though. ^^
Anyway, played my first public round as commander today which was quite a challenge. The RTS part of the game seems to be quite good and actually quite intuitive. I had some problems with setting up the right buildings etc. and multitasking two simultaneous attacks on the map plus setting up new buildings. In the end, despite a good start, we lost, though. The round was still a valuable lesson and the fact that me as a total commander newb was tolerated and even encouraged by my team shows how good the community of NS2 is.
I still prefer the FPS part so far, but playing as commander seems like lots of fun, especially with a good and friendly team.
