[GIVEAWAY] Copy of Natural Selection 2 (Unlocks October 31st)


Recommended Posts

People who pre-ordered Natural Selection 2 recently received free copies as gifts on Steam. As I do not plan on giving mine to anyone in particular I figured I would give it away on here.

The drawing will end Saturday October 13th some time around 6 PM EST. At that time I will generate a random number through http://www.random.org/ using the number of posts in this thread as the maximum and 2 as the minimum.

Only people who have been registered for at least 1 week and have more than 10 posts will be eligible for winning.

Only 1 entry per person.

After I generate the random number I will check the name of the person who won and make sure they meet the above requirements. If they do not, I will generate another number, if they do I will post the name of the winner in this thread and contact them to get their Steam information so I can send it.

Nothing special beyond posting in this thread (and meeting the above requirements) is be required.

Good Luck Everyone!

Update:

I'll add my gift copy to this giveaway. I'll use the same rules as the OP.

You now have another chance to win :)

That's right folks, two chances to win now.

technikal will be rolling a random number once this giveaway is over and getting in contact with the winner he rolls to give away his copy.

Winners:

Congratulations to imachip.

Congratulions to MiniMeSorinel too (NS2 provided by technikal).

OH MAN completely forgot about this game!!! We used to play NS while we were waiting on our CAL matches in CounterStrike and Day of Defeat.

Count me in, I would LOVE to play the new version of this game!!!

can't win if I don't enter.. can't lose a competition you don't enter either.. though I hope the latter isn't the case. But I am the rule, and rule says that everyone except the exception will lose.

    • I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."

    • Microsoft Teams gets smarter at spotting sneaky meeting bots by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is set to receive a couple of new features soon, including a dedicated Recap app and a rather controversial location tracking functionality. The Redmond tech giant has also explained how it has made online communication and collaboration a lot more performant this year. Now, the company has detailed more secure bot admission mechanisms, as first reported by us in March 2026, and now available in Teams. As the use of AI has expanded across enterprise environments, Microsoft has begun allowing users to integrate bots into their meetings for various tasks, such as note-taking. While this has a tangible productivity benefit for users, Microsoft has highlighted how misconfiguration has allowed bots to join meetings that they shouldn't. This has created security and privacy risks, which Microsoft is now combating using a new Teams admin policy that allows organizers to control how external bots access meetings. Admins can leverage a policy called Manage external bots and their access to meetings. The default configuration is "When detected, require approval before joining", which places detected bots in a lobby before they are explicitly admitted into the meeting. The other option disables the experience. Microsoft has also requested admins to only allow organizers and co-organizers to manage access to a meeting, so that other people don't randomly allow bots into meetings. Teams will now be able to leverage infrastructure signals to intelligently detect and distinguish between bots and humans. Microsoft will soon also trial a registration experience for independent software vendors (ISVs) to build a system that registers a bot with Microsoft, so it is marked as a "known" bot. Teams will also categorize bots as trusted and suspected threats so that organizers can quickly identify which bots they want to allow into a meeting. Additional safeguards to block accidental admission of a bot into a meeting include: No one-click Admit option for identified bots Confirmation prompts when admitting participants that include bots Warnings when organizers choose Admit all, and bots are included Microsoft has begun rolling out this experience, and it will be retiring the current CAPTCHA verification implementation. In the future, the company plans to roll out new capabilities like allow-lists, organization-wide policies, admin reports, audit logs, and more granular controls.
    • With the current hardware prices Microsoft should lift the restriction. Then if you have the correct TPM then allow you to use X feature, if you don't have the correct TPM then don't but still actually let you run windows. 11. With a disclaimer during install that X features would be unavailable.
