Natural Selection 2 is coming

Bry · 27 May 2009 at 23:32

New website available here: http://www.naturalselection2.com

Including a brand new teaser http://kotaku.com/5271215/unknown-worlds-triumphantly-teases-natural-selection-2?skyline=true&s=x

Pay careful attention to the background at around 40-41 seconds (for all of you NS fans)

Lastly, there is a new pre order available allowing exclusive access to the beta and/or alpha (depending on version)

For those of you not familiar with natural selection. It was one of the most popular Half Life 1 mods and combined the FPS genre with the RTS elements.
Think Starcraft meets Half Life and you will be pretty much there

Nice.

I have such huge expectations of this game.

So scared I'm gonna be dissappointed. Unknown Worlds were great on the forums though, really took advice on board and implement masses of changes based on the player feed back.

Expect a lot of continued support on this one.

I can't wait for this that as soon as I read the thread I went and pre-ordered it

I'm wondering if the Preload/Preorder will be available on steam (can't check links at work) If so I'd buy it now lol.

Simmz · 28 May 2009 at 09:23

Doesn't say.

I pre-ordered and got my special edition key sent straight away, so I think the alpha beta could be very soon.

Looks fantastic though.

Got my preorder as soon as site went live, ns1 is probably the only game i play nowadays after all these years it fails to get boring.

Can't wait for the testing to start, it's gonna be great! Just hope the final release will come with a good tutorial mode for the new players, its not the easiest game to jump right into.

Chaapa'ai · 28 May 2009 at 21:27

Looks fantastic. Def will be playing in first week of release.

they wasent sure what they were going to do, at first it was HL2 engione, then they said they would wait for HL3 engine

FrenchTart · 28 May 2009 at 23:20

Ah, I thought that they had cancelled this version. Think I'll buy this..I've been meaning to play the original for about a billion years.

TheOtherOption · 28 May 2009 at 23:28

Seems like a damn good job for such a small team - loved NS so will look to pick this up once out - steam version for me though I think!

Strife212 · 28 May 2009 at 23:30

I only liked NS as marines

Dist · 29 May 2009 at 00:12

NS was a great game. Usualy though i spent most of my time playing siege maps, i just found them very fun when playing with/against good players.

$20 it's a no brainer!

Leodido · 29 May 2009 at 07:01
