Overview

Natural Selection is an action-strategy game for the PC. It is written for the Half-life game engine, and Half-life (or other Half-life retail product) is required to play.
You can either be a commander giving orders and building structures or be one of the ‘small’ marines themselves, playing in a fast paced first person style shooter. Contrast this with the aliens, capable of evolving into new breeds and viewing the world through a collective hive mind, gives you one of the most unique and rewarding games around.

NS is a Half-life mod where one team plays marines and the other plays aliens. The humans must keep their cool and work together to assault an alien-infested spacecraft or colony. Marines vs. marines and aliens vs. aliens scenarios will also be supported in the near future.

A New Natural-Selection 3.0 trailer has been released. This trailer shows the depth and power that natural-selection gives you the player using all ingame footage Download the : Hi Res or Low Res

Marines :: Fighting skill is less important, strategy and communication take its place. Playing as a marine will be a tense experience with methodical planning and strategy, interrupted with action.

Aliens :: Playing as an alien will be an intense action experience, rewarding reflexes and alien heroics. Communication and coordination don't require typing.

Natural Selection: Combat
Natural Selection: Combat is a new fast and furious gameplay mode focusing on intense action. Combat games generally last less than ten minutes, and require very little knowledge to play.

Combat is seen as both a guide for new people to learn the more complex NS mode and as a good break from the intense strategy and fighting of NS:Classic Mode. Combat doesn't feature the commander system nor multiple hives and structures. There is just a single goal kill the command centre or kill the alien hive before they kill yours.

To aid you in your task the Trans System Authority is able to send new equipment and upgrades after you have proven yourself on the field, otherwise known as experience. Combat reports suggest though that the kharaa are able to evolve into newer and more deadlier lifeforms with more dangerous abilities as the battles progress's, quick and decisive win is recommended.

Natural Selection: Classic
This is the main gameplay of Natural-Selection, where as a member of the Trans System Authority (TSA) you must attempt to remove the alien infestation. Classis Mode has been revamped with over 150 new textures and new NS maps give the game a whole new look. Fight in the claustrophobic halls of ns_ayumi, catching a glimpse of snow falling outside a catwalk, or take control of the awe-inspiring and incredible ns_agora.

As a member of the TSA you must follow the orders of the commander (who has an over head style of play.) In order to eliminate the kharaa the commander will drop a number of buildings for you to build as well as researching advance technologies (jetpacks, grenade launchers and motion tracking). Only Teamwork and strategy will allow you to win.

The aliens, known as the kharaa however, are not without their devices. These aliens have a built in hive sight allowing them to react instantly to danger and to track their kinds movement. The kharaa spawn around a great hive and are able to grow a number of support structures for these massive organic lifeforms. These must be destroyed at all costs for it is reported by intelligence that the hive system makes the kharaa stronger and with 3 hives the chance of the infestation to be removed is slim.
