I keep going back to the the natural-selection.org website expecting that Flayra has posted when he is going to bring out the next update to NS and I've yet to see any news about it. I'm sure someone probably has a link on hand to point directly to Flayra saying the exact day he plans on putting it out but I figured everyone was probably wondering. At this point it is starting to look like Flayra has been working on half-life too long, he's starting to get Sierra symptons. Delays and the like. I hope we don't have to wait a year like we have had to for HL2.

You win at paying attention. I lose, except at the game called 'find something random and yell about it really loud'. I always win at that game.

I'm not even sure I'm going to resume playing NS again.. I'm pretty sick of its development cycle.. wait a year not telling anyone anything, then give us a release date and miss it by a few months, I would rather not hear anything about it, and one day have a new release.. rather then being disappointed at every release date so far.
Then again, most products seem to be like that.... *sigh*

To be perfectly honest, bugs keep popping up.  Keep looking.

Playtests are happening on a frequent basis, to fix a lot of unknown bugs, and potentially damaging bugs that can have a serious effect on gameplay.

If the version were released now you would be complaining more than if it wasn't.

Please be paitent, we are trying to get the game so it is fair and playable.
Bant!

Actually, I would prefer bugs to unbalanced gameplay

This new beta should fix a lot of bugs that we have been dealing with..And we are used to dealing with bugs, so why not give us b5 so we can find more bugs to be fixed.. Bugs are not something we aren't used to..
Just give us SOMETHING to work with, or don't tell us anything at all.  Had b5 just popped up one day, with no advance notice, it would be better then, "Okay we will release this date".. then delay for a month or two

anyone who remembers the wait for 2.0 will realize that this is nothing.
