For those of you not frantically refreshing our NS2 megalist, here’s a quick rundown of all the new additions or revisions that have been made to it this week:

  • Nymphs are the floaty things in these concept pieces (thanks Trayder for the tip):
    ns2_biosphere_hive_room_800x409 hiveconcept
  • “It’s very likely we will have a non-Steam version that you can get directly from us in addition to a Steam version.” -Max
  • Some NS2 music samples on myspace.
  • NS2 menz “will be happy soon“! Hooray!
  • Flamethrower, motherfuckers! [1]
  • Nymphs are part of a new spawn system (Thanks again Trayder):
    • Nymphs randomly float down an form an egg.
    • Alien players can choose which egg from 10-15 on the floor to spawn from, so marines don’t know which egg a player will come from.
    • When the number of eggs drops below a critical number, a new nymph will float down to spawn an egg on a random surface around the hive.
  • Plans to have “steam and mist” emit from the gills on the back of the new hive model:
    ns2_alienhive_model_01
    Also plans to have the yellow center glow and be semitransparent:
    ns2_alienhive_model_02

Make sure you check out the full megalist to see all the other info about NS2 we’ve managed to scrape together.
