Natural Selection 2 Official Version

Natural selection game content

​​​​​​​​​Half-Life MOD that perfectly combines RTS and FPS - Natural Selection (Natural Selection) Selection). Can you imagine playing a first-person shooter while still using the real-time strategy global screen to control troops? Natural Selection can bring you a new feeling! It brings a new way of playing - FPSS (First-Person Social Strategy, first-person strategy).

Natural Selection is different from other traditional FPS games. The confrontation in the game is no longer humans vs humans or humans vs alien humanoids. It has two hugely different races for players to choose from:

The Frontiersmen —— Marine (human). A race that exists in any FPS game. It has various types of firearms and can kill aliens from a distance. Individual combat and survival abilities are weak, so teamwork is required. Have a commander.

The Kharaa—— Alien (Alien). With super evolutionary capabilities and biological weapons, their individual combat capabilities are very strong, but the aliens still need to cooperate to win. The alien has high health, high speed, and its fighting style is mainly melee combat.

NS also introduced the concept of base construction. In addition to FPS elements, humans also take on the role of commanders; aliens have even more diverse types of troops and attack methods. Whether it’s atmosphere or gameplay, NS is the best among MODs!

NS Natural Selection is a "Half-Life" MOD (module). This is one of the few games that combines a first-person shooter (FPS) and a real-time strategy game (RTS).

The game was created by Charlie 'Flayra' Cleveland. Natural Selection was first publicly released on Halloween in 2002. The latest version is v3.2 (it may no longer be updated, see Natural Selection 2 for details). A complete historical NS update record can be found at ht tp://ww w.brywright.c o.uk (please delete the spaces manually) can be found. This website can also download all historical versions. NS’s next generation work——Natural Selection 2 (Natural Selection 2) is in production and is currently undergoing BETA testing. Players who have pre-ordered can participate in the testing. For details, please refer to the website in the extended link.

There are two camps in the game: Kharaa (a tribe in Alien) and The Frontiersmen (Human Space Marine Frontier Force). Aliens VS humans is a very common science fiction theme, such as the game "StarCraft" and the 1986 movie "Alien". In the main storyline of NS, every individual in Kharaa is just an extremely small part of the Kharaa race.

In GameSpy’s survey, Natural Selection was one of the top ten most played Half-Life modules in 2008.

Natural selection game mode

CO mode

(combat)

​​The PK model ignores base development and the purpose is to demolish the opponent's base.

The map in CO mode is relatively small. In this mode, players cannot press C to view the overall map, and there is no small map display on the upper right side of the human HUD.

There are no resources or building elements in this mode, and the map is small, making it easy for players to encounter enemies. The game is fast paced.

​​​​​Whether it is a human or an alien, every time you upgrade a level, you will get 1 skill point to upgrade your abilities.

Victory conditions:

Humans: Destroy the opponent’s Hive within the specified time.

Alien: Protect the Hive from being destroyed or destroy the opponent’s Command Console within the specified time.

This mode is not the core mode of NS. The map format is co_xxxxx.

NS mode

(classic)

The elements of the model are: occupying mines, developing, and demolishing bases. A mix of real-time strategy and first-person shooting. The simple explanation is: participate in a StarCraft-style war from a CS perspective.

The map in NS mode is larger. In this mode, players can press the C or M key to view the entire map. This mode has elements of resources and construction, and both sides need to seize resource points for construction and technological development. And use this to defeat the opponent and achieve the final victory.

Victory conditions: Completely eliminate the enemy players (resurrection-related buildings need to be demolished to prevent them from being resurrected). That is: humans destroy all alien hives (Hives); aliens eliminate all human resurrection points (IP).

A reminder for PK enthusiasts: Don’t deliberately look for enemies to kill. If you do, you will usually die. You need to cooperate with your teammates to seize and consolidate favorable strategic positions. This way you and your team can grasp the overall situation and take your time to achieve the ultimate victory.

The map format is ns_xxxxx

MvM

(Unofficial mode)

​​ ​Human vs Human requires third-party plug-in and model support before the game can be played. Generally, the game is played with the "CO map constructable building plug-in". (In the full version of MvM, there are also red humans and blue humans with the suffix color and models of buildings on both sides)

​​​​Basically it is an entertainment mode.

     AvA

(Unofficial mode)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         . Third-party plug-in support is also required. There are very few servers with this plug-in installed, and there are many bugs. (In the full version of AVA, there are also red aliens with the suffix color, yellow aliens, and models of buildings on both sides)

It is also an entertainment mode.

Siege Map

(Unofficial map)

It is commonly known as "siege map". The essence is NS mode, which is actually an extended mode of NS mode. It means that there is an impassable door somewhere on the map. It is closed within the first few minutes of the game, which lasts about five minutes. Both sides can develop rapidly during this time. When the door is opened, the two sides will fight each other at the door. If the two sides are at the same level, the human front line will gradually collapse, the defense line will continue to retreat, and the map advantage will be used to continuously defend. When the game reaches a certain time (about 20 minutes), a room will open very close to the alien's nest. The human base has direct access to this room, and the alien cannot easily enter. Humans can place siege guns in them to destroy the Hive. In other words, the aliens must defeat humans before the room opens, otherwise they will suffer catastrophe.
