    I was following the Tournaments, although watching them live forces me to wake up at 3:00 AM.

    The game is just so entertaining to watch,

    i love the simultanious show-off of great player skill and commander tactics.

    Man, I have never been a big fan of watching tournaments/live streams of games but I can't believe how entertaining ns2 is to watch. I'm not just blowing UWE's trumpet here, I was genuinely hooked when I was watching some of the streams.

    You hit the nail on the head, it's nice to see the tactical element mixed with the skill of each player down on the floor.

    Thanks for watching Tschoppo, there are plenty more tournaments planned!

    The extra copy for everyone is a super nice thing, but have you guys considered going all out f2p on this?

    Because I am getting a feeling that is where the market is going towards. Multiplayer only games need to be f2p in order to get the vast amount of players necessary to keep it alive more than a few months...

    a feeling is not a lot to go on for changing the entire business strategy of a company...

    There is a LOT of fortune in modding for NS2 Skjalg! UWE have hired like, 2 of the modders (coders) from the community, so if you make something cool and mindblowing, then there's a chance they will bring you on! Plus you'd be helping out the community

    PS - The game is coming out tomorrow at midnight (GMT)! Hope to see some of you guys on the servers

    PogoP, he said pro-gaming. Not programming. :XD: lol lol

    Also, congrats on the release! Looking forward to giving this a whirl once I have the time!

    Ohhh sorry hahaha. Well they really want to push the competitive side and they've had some big tournaments in the beta. Apparently in the next tournament, the final is going to be played in a studio in Koln, Germany! Livestreamed to the world

    So no guarantees it gets huge, but every game has to start somewhere, right? I mean, LoL was small when it first started!

    What about prize money?

    I know they had prizes in the beta tournaments, but it wasn't money. I imagine there will be monetary prizes in the tournaments after release though!

    14.5 hours til release guys!
