This game is starting to come together now, I bought it when it was in alpha.

My shrink said I need an outlet for my aggression.

Woah jetpacks! That would've come in handy in some NS clanmatches.

reminds me of an old... UT mod? I don't remember the game specifically, but the mod was exactly like this without the RTS aspect.

I can't wait for this, I love when games have players on two different levels of management. One in the sky overseeing his team, while the others on the ground killin dudes. Awesome.

All right, sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed? Another glorious day in the Corps! A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I LOVE the Corps!

The original Natural Selection is a mod based on the Half-Life engine(Golden Source which was heavily modified id Tech 1)

This looks awesome.

Wait...the eyes are inside the mouth? Interesting design choice.

I haven't heard about NS2 for a really long time; is this a retail product now? For a while it was going to be an HL2 mod, right?

i've been playing the alpha for the past year or so, it's really coming along quite nicely. they still have a ways to go in terms of features however. i'd love to see some additional modes

NS1 always had the RTS portion, though. It's one of its defining characteristics.

this one has taken so long i forgot about it...looking forward to it

But NS1 had jetpacks... maybe you played an older version?

Looking very nice. I remember playing some of the original Half Life modification and it was quite interesting.

Rautapallion Feb. 3, 2012 at 1:01 p.m.

@CatsAkimbo: afaik. they were working with the source engine originally, but then decided to make their own engine. That was like 4-5 years ago.

Not sure if it will be available in a retail box (probably will), but you can pre-order it from their website and get access to the beta version on Steam.

So, I just bought this after watching this trailer.

The game itself is pretty good, it plays, feels and looks like AVP2, but has a pretty unique RTS element in it.
