NS blends first-person combat with real-time strategy.
It features intense “marines vs. aliens” teamplay, where one marine can become “Commander” and leads players from a top-down perspective.
NATURAL SELECTION 2
This is our current project which we’re very excited about. This game features dynamic environments, unique sides and powerful modding capabilities.
It is built on our very own brand new engine, Spark. On October 31, we released NS2 on Steam and debuted at number one on the top seller list. We continue to work on improving NS2 full-time: Adding game features, improving Spark and its associated tools, and supporting community development.
Steam:
Natural Selection 2 pits alien against human in an action-packed struggle for survival. Wield devastating weaponry as a Frontiesman marine, or become the xenomorph as a deadly. Kharaa life-form. While both teams fight each other in first person, two commanders look down on the battlefield in a top-down Real Time Strategy view. These Commanders can issue orders, build structures, collect resources, research technology, and deploy abilities to help their team overcome the enemy.
🌍️ Wikipedia :
Natural Selection 2 (NS2) is a multiplayer video game which combines first-person shooter and real-time strategy rules. It is set in a science fiction universe in which a human team fights an alien team for control of resources and territory in large and elaborate indoor facilities.
Gameplay :
Like its predecessor, Natural Selection 2 features two opposing teams of players, Kharaa (aliens) and Marines, seeking to destroy the other's respective base. While the two teams have the same essential goals, gameplay for each team varies drastically. Marines largely rely on guns and other pieces of technology to annihilate the alien presence. Aliens, however, rely primarily on melee attacks. Certain alien lifeforms can walk on walls, fly, and even teleport. Players also have a currency system which they use to buy better equipment or evolve into higher lifeforms.
The primary feature that differentiates Natural Selection from others in the FPS genre is its strategy component. Both teams may have one player act as a commander, who is given a top-down view of the map and plays the game in a Real-time strategy perspective. The commander can place buildings, research upgrades and has a number of abilities to support their team (dropping health and ammo packs, or erecting walls to block enemy movement), at the cost of resources. Buildings in Natural Selection are designed to aid players in their offensive, defensive, stealth and speed capabilities.
Un FPS / jeu de stratégie temps réel opposant aliens et marines, par le studio Unknown Worlds.
Il utilise le moteur Spark (du même studio).
Natural Selection 2 est un jeu combinant FPS et RTS exclusivement multijoueur en ligne opposant les aliens (les Kharaa) et les marines, chaque faction devant définir sa stratégie pour remporter le combat. Les marines - organisés en escouades, mettent à profit leur technologie (qu'ils peuvent améliorer) pour se défendre et tenter de détruire les ruches aliens, tandis que les aliens mettent à profit leur diversité, leur possibilité d'évolution (possibilité d'acquisition de capacités spéciales) et leur puissance (Skulk courant sur les murs, Gorge grassouillet, Lerk volant, Fade meurtrier, Onos fracassant les portes) pour venir à bout des marines.

Steam:
Natural Selection 2 est un jeu de tir multijoueur immersif qui oppose les aliens contre les humains dans une épreuve pour la survie alliant action et stratégie. NS2 combine brillamment le gameplay d'un jeu de tir à la première personne et d'un RTS/stratégie en temps réel.
🌍️ Wikipedia:
Natural Selection 2 (NS2) est un jeu vidéo multijoueur mélangeant à la fois le tir à la première personne et la stratégie en temps réel. Le jeu prend place dans un univers de science fiction.
Natural Selection 2 prend place quelques années après Natural Selection.
Système de jeu
Armement
Les armes des marines (Frontiersmen) ainsi que les capacités des aliens (Kharaa) ont un tir alternatif. Le jeu se passant dans le futur, comparé au premier opus, l'armement des marines se doit d'être plus avancé et possèdent de nouveaux dessins conceptuels. Bon nombre de dessins conceptuels ont été créés par Nate Wolcott et rendus publics.
Charlie Cleveland annonce de manière très anticipée que le lance-flammes fera partie intégrante de Natural Selection 2.
Moteur du jeu
Le moteur, nommé Spark a été développé spécifiquement pour Natural Selection 2. Il est basé sur le code produit par Max McGuire, qui à l'origine était destiné pour le moteur Source, abandonné par la suite par manque de flexibilité.
Le moteur de Natural Selection 2 utilise le codage en Lua comme base pour le moteur, permettant une très grande facilité d'extension des bases du jeu. Le support de la physique est fourni par de nombreux programmes tiers, et fera partie intégrante du jeu.
