Buy first, worry later. Check in steam charts, 500-600 players not many but, maybe this sale will save it.

Worry later? Why?

Games such as NS2 rely on MP only, if the game isn't populated is where the part "worry later" comes in.

I haven't played all that much, but in my experience, I've never had any trouble finding matches for NS2.

i have no idea how the game is but meta score is 80 and the game is just 2 bucks.. you wouldn't even be sorry even if you just played it 1 hour and leave it right there.. just buy it, great discount.

Its a very good game but a very high learning curve, its still decently populated during the main gaming hours when people get home

I love it. The sides both have their own strategies so when you get bored of one you can try the other. You can always find a couple full servers.

True. I'm terrible playing aliens but I haven't gotten bored of marines yet.

I added funds to my wallet so i can buy keys to trade for this, and now i can't buy anything till the 6th.

FML. Why is this happening when i bought stuff before no problem?

That happens every time you change payment methods.

Awesome game if you like deep FPS team-based multiplayer games that involve a lot of strategy and skill. One of the cool things is that the two sides are asymmetrical with respect to the way they play. As mentioned above the learning curve is a little steep just due to the sheer amount of stuff but it's well worth it if you can dedicate yourself to it. There's also an RTS element to the game if you play as one of the commanders but you shouldn't concern yourself with that for awhile. The original game lasted many years with people still playing it so I don't see this going any different.

I'm beginning to think these awesome discounts are foreshadowing price drops after the sale. That and Unknown Worlds Entertainment probably needs the dosh for pushing out so many updates and generally being an awesome dev that stands behind their game and their community.

Be advised it's a quite hardware demanding game, you'll need a good pc to run NS2 at a decent framerate.

Aside from that It's a good high learning curve game, with asymmetrical gameplay.

With people ingame? Not only do I rarely come across people with mic, but I get a headache with 80% of the people in the game for one reason or another. It is either a child, a rager, a thug wannabe, or someone who takes things too seriously. xD Everyone else doesn't like me.

I like the game and the gameplay... the only problem I have with it it's that I can't play it since it runs like crap for me and it's quite unplayable, this was when it had the free weekends.

So did they fix the low performance issues ? Since it wasn't only my problem, regular players had issues with performance as well.

in general, yes. They're had a few free updates that helped fix a lot of performance issues people were having. Give it a try again and see

So should I get the regular edition or the deluxe edition?

Deluxe Edition only gives you an extra skin pretty much. The wallpapers and other extras you could get easily for free.

Agree with this. If it were something actually useful like weapons or in-game stuff you can consume, I would recommend the deluxe edition. If it's just skins or downloadables I am not going to spend more money.

I saw a rather disturbing thread whereby a guy explains his experience of being cursed out by "more experienced" players for being a rookie. (The game tags you as a rookie for the first 4 hours I believe) If the community is that unfriendly as said, I wouldn't play the game even if it's free.

My experience has generally been quite the opposite. When I was just starting out and even now as I continue to learn the game and play poorly, I have gotten nothing but help from my teammates. That has been one of the most pleasantly surprising elements of this game (along with a lot of people using mics productively, which can help in answering newbie questions). In the time I've played, only once have I seen a group of players get impatient and abusive towards a new player.

Same here, the exact opposite, they were so nice I was wondering what was the catch ! First time I experienced that in a multiplayer game, most of time, the "older" players don't care about the newbies (best case scenario), in NS2, the commander talked to me directly and was very patient (I'm not dumb but NS2 has some not obvious mechanics). One time, I tried to be commander, I sucked hard but no one spoke harshly, they just understood it was not easy and gave me some advices.

Did you read the steam forums? Becasue Steam specific games forums are usless, full of trolls, missinformed people and fanboys.

Now to the point, in my experience i can`t thnk of a friendlier community, like seriously i never had a game where is said "i am mad because of Troll A, by my raging teamate, etc.". Just make sure to enter a server in grren which is noobfriendly and they will even help you to understand the game.

Also play the tutorial before.

I'm not looking forward to all the noobs that are going to be in there. Hope we get some good new commanders though.

To me it looked really good, and reading reviews it looked even better. However on playing I have realized that my computer can barely run the game! It's sad.

This game really stands out, it's very fun but you need really good computer to play it. I got tired of waiting 3 mins to load map with my wooden pc.

My PC is quite fast and it still takes a lot of time to load some maps :/
