Natural Selection 2

[HoLoDreaM]

Any NS2 players here? I picked up this game from Steam when they ran a sale of $9.99. It normally runs about $25. If you haven't heard of it, it's an aliens versus marines multiplayer only game, with an RTS twist. Each team has a Commander that plays in a RTS view that builds the bases, supports, and upgrades for their team. That little twist makes it especially fun. It has a little bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it's awesome.. Each team has multiple upgrades, for humans you have weapons, jetpacks, and mech suits, for aliens you have variations of more powerful, or support role aliens. All earned by gathering resources on the map. The Commander builds resource gatherers while the other team is constantly attacking them.

 

If you play, add me on Steam. My username is Holodream

I haven't played it yet but would like to some day. I was a diehard fan/player of the first Natural Selection so I know what it's all about (not counting whatever new things they may have added)

 

$10 is a great deal though I remember when mods of this quality were free (like the first one was)....ahh those were the days.

It's definitely a fun game. I never played the original, but I did play a Quake 2 mod called Gloom that came around right around the NS1 time. It was about the same, aliens versus marines, except no commander.
