Natural Selection
About Natural Selection
Natural Selection 2 blends first-person shooting with live strategy on a single battlefield. You take a spot as a marine fighter or step back to issue orders as a commander. The other side fields the Kharaa as its alien combat force. Both teams race across maps to grab supply stations.
Marines build walls before they place turrets at key spots. They upgrade weapons and lay mines around each base. Alien players shift into new forms to climb surfaces or sneak past enemies. Squads stick together to hold ground and push forward. Quick choices can flip a narrow standoff into a win.
Natural Selection 2 combines building bases with direct gunplay in a single match. The game ships with mod tools that let players craft new maps and rule sets. Critics point to its clear controls and team focus at the heart of each battle.
