About This Game Natural Selection 2 pits alien against human in an action-packed struggle for survival. Wield devastating weaponry as a Frontiersman marine, or become the xenomorph as a deadly Kharaa lifeform. Strategy Meets ShooterNatural Selection 2 is a First Person Shooter and Real Time Stategy game rolled into one! Each team, alien and human, has a Commander. The Commander looks down on the battlefield and issues orders, places structures, collects resources, researches technology, and deploys abilities. Here are some gameplay examples: A human Commander could drop health packs and ammunition to a trapped marine squad, and deploy sentry guns to help them defend their position. Or an alien Commander could grow a new Hive to spread infestation throughout newly captured territory, allowing more alien eggs to spawn...Two Unique SidesAliens players choose to evolve into one of five lifeforms: The fast, fearsome Skulk can run on walls and deliver massive damage with its jaws. Lerks fly and deploy gasses to support their teammates in battle. Gorges heal other lifeforms and build tunnels, hydra turrets, walls, and other tactical structures. Fades blink in and out of battle, picking off marines with giant scythes. Finally, the giant Onos is so massive and so tough, that even entire marine squads can't take it down.Marines wield rifles, shotguns, grenade launchers, pistols, and other weapons. Cluster grenades can clear ventilation shafts of sneaky Skulks, flamethrowers make short work of alien structures and infestation, and boosts dropped by the Commander increase combat effectiveness. When attacking on foot doesn't cut it, marines can construct hulking Exosuits wielding miniguns and railguns, and equip jetpacks for high speed assaults on alien Hives.Long Term DevelopmentNatural Selection 2 receives constant updates.

Gun play is solid, alien movement is fun. Being a commander is really fun thou sometimes you wish some of the players were bots then they would do what u ask =D Nothing really beats the feeling of 8 marines with ONLY welders taking a hive down.I have had 0 crashes or freezes in the 260h. Overall really good game i fully recommend you to try this out. On side note join a server with (rookies) in the title so we can all be bad together =). first person shooter, Starcraft edition. It's really, really good. It has a steep learning curve and it is a hard game, but it's easy to improve at, and it feels very rewarding to play well. You have to play as a team if you want to succeed, and the game is balanced around this. It can be frustrating at times when your team lets you down, but there are always opportunities for you to do better and increase your chances of winning. There are also tons and tons of videos and guides online to help you get better, and they really make a difference. There are rookie servers that are exclusively for new players, and they can be a big help when you're getting into the game. A lot of people complain about "toxicity" and rude players, but I don't think this is really true. There are a few people in the community who are consistently rude, but there aren't many of them and they can easily be muted. If you're willing to listen to your teammates, almost everyone will be nice to you. The game used to have huge issues with loading times and performance, but they have almost all been completely resolved. There are few bugs with the game, and they're all minor things that won't effect your experience. The game has had issues in the past with low player population, but I've never seen there not be multiple full servers, no matter when I was playing. The game is in a good place right now, and development is still ongoing. There are frequent, major updates. Overall, this game has had a lot of issues in the past, but I think they're definitely past almost all of them now. I would wholeheartedly recommend it. This game is criminally underrated.It's one of the most engaging, "asynchronous" tactical shooters. Or is it a strategic shooter? A bit of both, I imagine, let me explain: While most players in a game will experience it from a first person perspective, one player in each team takes the role of the commander. For the commander this plays more like an RTS game, you will have to place structures, give orders to units and conquer the enemy base. But all your units are controlled by players, resulting in the commander being dependent on players following his\/her orders, while all the "units" are dependent on the commander expanding their base and researching upgrades.Furthermore, there are two factions: The Zerg and the Terr- uh, I mean the Colonial Marines and the Alie-, god damnit, the Ultramarines and the Tyrani-... well, you know what I mean. Depending on how much resource nodes you controll, you will earn resources that you can spend on new weaponry for the Marines and new "evolutionary stages" for the alien faction, which results in both factions starting as pathetic little pawns that evolve into massive hulks of heavy artillery and tentacles.The maps are very reminiscent of the Alien movies, with narrow steel corridors flanked by pipes, vents and so on, creating an eerie sci-fi-horror atmosphere. Most of them are rather large, with several bigger rooms that pose as additional bases once your faction managed to capture them. Also you will notice, the more rooms are owned by the aliens, the more zergcreep-ish slime will cover the map, which is a nice visual feedback for your progress as alien player.The only thing I dislike is that this game is rather hard to to master, I played for 30 hours at this point and still die like a little scrub. But that's okay, death in this game is significantly less frustrating than in most multiplayer shooters, since it heavily correlates to your weapon upgrades, evolutionary stage, and disposable resources at hand. Don't expect your K\/D to reflect your CoD skills.Also, despite being hard to get into, the community is amazing. Since each round is basically an immense act of logistics and planning, coordinating several individual players as well as expanding your base and reacting to enemy actions, voice chat is an essential part of gameplay, so don't be afraid to use your mic. TL;DR: I die like a \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665, and still enjoy the living hell out of this game.. 1st create two factions:Marines, played in a counterstrike fps style,and aliens, played like starcraft zerg.2nd introduce rts mechanicsEvery faction has a commander, playing from the top-down perspective. The rts gameplay reminds me of Planetary Annihilation and Starcraft. You have to place and protect resource extractors (like in Planetary Annihilation or Supreme Commander) and as alien, you additionally have to manage your disgusting spores. (like in Starcraft, you have tumor-like things to grow and keep alive buildings)3rd wrap it all together in an exciting gameThe game is about communicating and coordinating with the team, strategy and accuracy (fps). If your team succeedes in each of these categories, you will have an easy victory. But keep in mind - even though the commander can give orders and assign tasks to players with the right mouse button, it is faaaar more efficient and effective to use the voice chat and talk to teammates.All in all this game offers a unique PvP experience I have never seen before, successfully combining RTS and FPS. The graphics might not be over the top (the game is already a few years old) but if that doesn't matter to you, I would definitely suggest this game to everyone who is either a fan of FPS or RTS and wants to try out something that's not like 95% of all PvP games out there.. **TLDR**:Buy this game, try both sides, know within 90 minutes if you like its gameplay, AND EITHER BUCKLE UP OR REFUND, but 9.99 is a pretty safe bet.I'm going to be honest, I've had this game since it dropped on Steam and I had completely forgotten how old it was. It shows on the total population, but the feel of the game and its updates keeps it from ever going stale. The true strength of this game is how unique it is. As an asymmetrical FPS RTS PvP game, it definitely fills a niche. This is also its weakness, however because it demands certain skills that you wont find in other games (Other than the ability to shoot straight). This steep skill curve keeps many people from enjoying the game early on, as they are too busy being stomped by people who have played the game for hundreds of hours. Keep heart however, as many servers balance in favors of rookies, still giving you a significant chance at victory. The road will be rough: there will be MANY deaths, there will be MUCH salt, and lastly there WILL BE people who have played this game SO long they've forgotten what its like to be new. At its new base price of 9.99 you would be insane to not at least try this gem on sale. They still push out new content and patches (real ones) frequently. Additionally, I find it interesting how many of THEIR VIDEOS ACTUALLY MAKE THE GAME LOOK WORSE. Many of the videos have been slowed down, and it appears graphics have been lowered to keep the video smooth enough in order to slow them down. I have actually bought extra copies of this game to hand out to friends if they were at all interested. I just wait for it to sell for like 3$ then pick up some copies. Over the past 7 years its had some nice salesEnd of Rant: Every match feels unique and I have never grown tired of this game, I only wish I had more friends to play it with.. Just as good as NS1. Really fun game. Everyone should be playing it. #BringNSBack. Great game, shame its community run.. The player base could use more players, especially for non pro players, but it's not NS2's fault that the market is flooded with multiplayer games.. Sad that there is only one game like this.But this game rocks.
