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 =). Used to play online the HL mod version 10 years ago.This is the graphical evolution.10\/10. Just Buy It. Fantastic game, unique genre blend. Runs ~120fps on my 4y\/o hardware. Always active servers. Players are really, really nice. Wide variety of skill levels in current playerbase.. after playing game for a while now even after explaining i was new in a few games people were just extremely toxic towards me and thats even with going through the boot camp queues so i cant up vote the game not with the community being so toxic game is great .... aside from that.. People take this game way too seriously and it's not very noob friendly. If you don't have any friends to play it with, then you might have a bad time, because you will be yelled at for making the smallest of mistakes. The gameplay itself is fun and a really cool concept; we need more games of this sort, though it feels a little unbalanced at times.. probably one of the most unique and replayable games on steam. Every match will be different no matter what side you're playing. steep learning curve for new players but simply playing the tutorial and asking people questions will help you understand the mechanics and how the game works. using a mic is the best way to go because without it communications between your team is much slower and you need to stop whatever you're doing to relay the message. commanders should pretty much always have a mic especially the marines. but it shouldn't prevent you from having a good match. teamwork is essential for a win, no lone wolves here. but it does astound me when new players don't know how to do simple things like open their map or complain about getting their asses munched by skulks when they're rushing the base and refuse to listen to the comm. or even skipping the tutorials and jumping straight into a game with no idea how to play and wonder why they always die\/lose. its a great game and new players shouldn't be discouraged to play because they get destroyed, you've just gotta learn the game and use your brain to approach situations instead of mindlessly running into enemy controlled rooms expecting to slaughter everything.. 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.
