Natural Selection 2

roccles · 4 Dec 2013 at 10:06

As this is included in the latest Humble Bundle I imagine that the in-game population will rise in the short term but I was just looking for people opinions on the game.

I am pretty disillusioned by the likes of Ghosts and BF4 so looking to find a new FPS multi player game to get stuck into.

Is it worth playing? what sort of game is it (Run and Gun?) and most importantly is there a big enough user base?

Cheers

It's a great game. Bit of a learning curve but you do get some experienced players who help out over the mic. On some servers you will get stacking which can be painful for newbies but I still recommend it personally.

Really awesome game. I keep meaning to go back to it. It's a nice combination of requiring twitch reflexes and dealing with strategy (also heavily teamwork-based - be sure to get your in game VOIP sorted).

Just got this included in the Humble Bundle, it's a great six game deal this week.

Did you read the first sentence of the OP?

Arcane · 4 Dec 2013 at 11:51

yes I read it perfectly well thanks. I'm stating that I bought the aforementioned bundle myself and that I think it's a great deal.

FrenchTart · 4 Dec 2013 at 11:53

Fair enough. The wording in your post was a little ambiguous.

Absolutely brilliant game, but has a heavy learning curve.

It's well worth sticking to though - there hasn't been a game since BF2 or the original NS that encourages and rewards teamwork like NS2. Two teams working well together leads to utterly intense gaming.

Just echoing everybody else's statement that the game is good and it is something different in the vast amount of modern day fps. I might start playing this again now you have mentioned it, I think I need a rest from the frustrating experience of BF4. If you fancy a game add me, my steam name is the same as my forum one.

Love it. Feel free to add me. I have a server we can use if we could get a group?

Definitely. Great to be able to switch from fps to rts round by round. Steep learning curve though.

Arcane · 4 Dec 2013 at 16:23

Added via Steam, up for giving this a go.

Cheers for the add Arcane, off topic I am impressed by the sheer number of hours you can fit into two weeks!!

EDIT: Seems I can fit more in!!

Dunno whats going on there!

Arcane · 4 Dec 2013 at 16:51

Especially as there are only 336 hours in a week. Pretty impressive.

Was considering the humble bundle for this.

Do it. It's a great game and an absolute steal at that price
