PC Natural Selection 2

[Barnzy]

Anyone keeping their eye on this? Sequel to one of the best and most popular mods for Half Life 1. Been in beta for 3 years and is finally being released on Steam in October for $24.99. Spent many, many hours on the original mucking around. Was very fun so I hold high hopes for this upgraded version.

2 Unique Sides

Whether you play as one of the elite marine Frontiersmen or the vicious alien Kharaa, you must use unique strategies and your abilities to win. Marines form persistent squads to find and destroy alien hives. Aliens can choose a wall-running Skulk, pudgy Gorge, flying Lerk, murderous Fade or gigantic Onos that can smash through doors.

Real-Time Strategy

Commanders play from overhead to lead their team to victory. Build structures anywhere, collect resources and research upgrades. Marines buy weapons at an Armory or build sentry turrets and siege cannons to assault the enemy. Aliens build upgrade chambers, evolve special abilities and plant traps.

Dynamic Enviroments

Use a flamethrower to clear the spreading alien infestation. Aliens destroy power nodes knock out the lights and power down marine structures. Random start locations mean you must scout your enemy and before committing to a build. Every game is different.

Loved me some NS1.

Seriously anyone who owns a PC needs to get this game.

It is what Aliens vs Predator wishes it was.

The graphics have had a huge upgrade over the previous edition, the gameplay is smooth and who doesn't like walking on walls and dropping down on Marines who shit themselves while you eat their legs!!

You have Aliens who can fly, walk on walls and roofs, charge like a Rhino (and look like one too), Marines with rifles, shotguns and turrets! Huge maps to explore, challenging while also having every round you play be different.

What's not to like.

Funnily enough even thought I started the thread I haven't got it yet. Few of my mates do and love it. FIFA and 2k13 have kept me busy. I might grab it over the weekend and I'd be up for games whenever silver. Think I've got you on steam.

I really want this game, but I'm still travelling for a month. Need to get on the FIFA 13 train, too. I'm so behind!

I'm RoyGBiv on Steam if anybody wants to add.

Bought it just after release but barely touched it until today. Absolutely loving it now. It is really important to watch some tutorials before you start and then as you get better, watch the more advanced tutorials. The game can be incredibly confusing and frustrating when you have no idea what to do.
