Natural Selection 2 Game Teaser

Natural Selection is considered as one of the best, if not the best Half-Life mod ever made. It was also the most innovative game of its time combining first person shooter with real time strategy in a multiplayer format. It is still played by thousands of players today. This mod can be downloaded for free if you have Half-Life. With the reputation they`ve gained by making this incredible mod, the developers of the mod attracted investors and created their own video game company. They now have been working on Natural Selection 2 for years and it is looking extremely promising. The game will this time be a standalone game with its own engine designed especially for this game by unknownworlds. Unfortunately, it will not be free. But the pricing is going to be extremely reasonable (20$ for the game alone, 40$ for the premium edition). You know those greedy large video game companies who release overpriced, low quality, unoriginal, gimmicky and boring video games? Well, Unknown Worlds Entertainment are the opposite of them.

NS was good but it cant compare to Counter-Strike.

Personally I`ve quickly been disgusted by CS and stopped playing it altogether. NS was much more my type of game. Much more strategy and teamwork, rely on your buddy to cover your ass while you build a structure. And as you play as an alien you have to hide and stalk your prey and wait for the perfect moment to strike.

In CS all you really needed is to just be able to headshoot someone as fast as possible as you meet him around a corner.

Natural Selection is a great mod, however for Phanto to say in CS all you really needed is to just be able to headshot anyone is heresy! (Sorry, been watching the Inquisition).

One quick look at the CS competitive scene (both 1.6 and source) shows how much tactics and teamwork can be involved and used in the game. NS one of the best, maybe, THE BEST? Never. When you look at TFC/TF2 and CS, it just doesn`t hold up in quality and depth.

Can`t wait to try NS2 though, looks fun.

This may sound stupid... but what is this game about anyway? Never really heard or seen the game before.

^^ @ goliathTall

The game looks like the bastard child of Aliens and Starcraft. It is played as a first person shooter and a real time strategy game. It is only played in multiplayer, there is no AI. There is two teams: Space marines and aliens. Both teams attempt to control resource nodes scattered around the map by building their own equivalent of a resource extractor device on it and defending it. Aliens can use these resources to evolve new abilities/upgrades or to mutate in a more powerful form. One form of the aliens can "build" "structures" with the resources. The Marines can use the resources to research new technologies, upgrades, buildings and weapons. One player of the Marines side plays the role of the commander. He has an overview RTS style interface and takes care of using the resources to make buildings (which the marine on the ground have to build), upgrades and weapons. He also gives orders to his marines in the form of waypoints on their HUD.

It is an incredibly deep game for a simple Half-Life mod. Go try it, it`s free.
