Post by darklizard45 » 09 Dec 2016, 21:59

In this board we talk about the most Colonial Marines related game on steam

What is Natural Selection 2?
Is a team based game of Aliums vs Marines.
It is also know for having a RTS-FPS mix

It has RTS mechanics blended with FPS mechanics? How does that work?
See it for yourself

Wait... it has a "2"... so does that mean there was a previous entry?
Yes... originally it was a mod for Half-Life there was no alien commander, less stuff, Heavy Armor was OP and the Fade had a cyst rocket launcher

I prefer the Marine side, but I can be partial to Lerk.

Ah, I remember playing this when I was 11 and it was NS1 in the early stages before Onos devour was added.

Needless to say, I backed NS2 once it was announced and still have my fancy black armour.

Back then you could backpeddle without speed penalty.

I quite like being a marine on NS2 and alien commander, it's really damn fun when everything hits the fan.


On a side note Ns2 could be great for CM game night.
