    Looks better then I'd expected... looks like a game and not some half-assed HL2 derivative.

    I'm hoping for a free weekend some time soon after release to see if that highly edited trailer is super-deceptive or not.

    Haha, it does look good (though not at all like the Nuclear Dawn I remember) although the main feeling I had at the end was that I want a Natural Selection that takes place in a run-down city or something rather than a space station.

    Well, for a person who doesn't work on BF3 I think it looks pretty okay. Not jaw-dropping, but no New Vegas either.

    I agree with puddy, looks good enough to be played well. And source engine + big map = big challenge

    I take it as a compliment that there was no "faggots" in your reply.

    ImHo if a game is fun it can be on a dated engine. I'd still play Quake2 DM if it was made available like QuakeLive. As for Nuclear Dawn, they deserve to do well, they took a cool concept and made it happen. I think they went through a great deal of hurdles to get it to this point. I hope it will sell enough for them to make a profit out of it. I like the look of the commander mode btw

    I don't know why, but watching the videos the first person gun models make me go blerehghghgh. The way they bob around so much is disorienting and distracting. Interesting to see what this turns out like.

    If there was an award for "most cheesy launch trailer", you'd win... That's a bad thing.

    But it looks like a mix of DOD and NS, which could be fun to play..

    Looks like a lot of people who play the beta like the game. Positive previews and youtube videos popping up.

    Here is one that gives a good overview over the game:

    Decent meta score so far. I've seen a couple more reviews in the 6-8 range and one with a 9 which are not listed there.

    I hope there will be a free weekend on steam soon so more people give the game a chance.
