Author Topic: Natural Selection 2 - FPS/RTS Crossover  (Read 1089 times)



Natural Selection 2 is an FPS Shooter RTS in which Human Marines are pitted against the Aliens in a classic RTS situation akin to Starcraft 2. Each team has a commander who gives orders to players, telling them to move to areas and build structures that the commander has layed plans for. The other players all choose a side and get put into a first-person shooter position where they may buy guns that the Commander has researched and fight the aliens. The players are not limited to where they may go but it is wise to follow commander's orders. The commander can influence battles with bonuses such as giving units temporary nano-armor and dropping health packs/weapons. The game runs on their own custom built engine which has great support for modding and has a beautiful dynamic lighting engine.
