I’m going to try to get a few games of NS2 going later, depending on who’s around. Maybe give some new maps a try.

In the unlikely event that someone is subscribed to this thread but doesn’t own the game, it’s a flash sale on steam for $10. Act quickly.

If some other people do want to get it, I’ll buy a 4-pack and we’ll figure out the rest later.

[Big update today](http://unknownworlds.com/ns2/gorgeous-changelog/)

They’ve been continually improving the game. We should really play more. This really is one of the best games of the last few years, I just got my life sucked away when planetside 2 came out. And now with the merges I may get sucked back in.

So the game is on the current humble bundle and is definitely worth buying. I’m going to try to start organizing a few SDMB games. I’m way behind on the metagame so I can’t command yet, but it’ll be good to play again. I wonder what the gameplay is like now after dozens of patches.
