Natural Selection 2 is a first person shooter cross real time strategy game being developed by Unknown Worlds Entertainment, a small ~6 person team in California. It is a stand alone sequel to the popular Half-Life modification Natural Selection.
The game is currently in beta, and is available to purchase for US$35. Purchasing the game gives access to the beta and the full release when the game is finished. The beta is patched regularly, at a minimum every two we eks.
NS2 pits the human marine Frontiersmen against the varied alien Kharaa. The two teams, of up to 16 players each, vie for control of strategic points of large and small maps, with the goal of wiping each other out.
Each team has a commander, who views the game from a real time strategy perspective. The rest of the team plays from a first person shooter perspective. Players may seamlessly enter and exit commander mode throughout the game. Teams may build a large variety of structures to aid them in controlling territory, upgrading equipment, and unlocking new lifeforms, weapons, abilities, and support units.
The game is built on a brand new, UWE proprietry engine called Spark. Spark features fully dynamically lit environments (There is no static lighting at all), dynamic occlusion culling, and extreme modability. All game code is written in accessible Lua, and stands apart from the C++ engine.
A full suite of Spark tools, including level editor, lua debugger, cinematic editor, model viewer, and more is included with the purchase of the game.
The game may be purchased at www.naturalselection2.com/buy.
The development team maintains an active blog at www.unknownworlds.com/ns2, including forums where developers post and converse with community members regularly. The development team draws on the contributions of community members. Bug fixes submitted by the community are often included in beta patches.
Beta progress is tracked by 'build numbers,' which are visible in the NS2HD in-video titles, and in the top left corner of the game (red text).

The motion blurr distorts the fact the frame rate is much lower than this video makes out it is
Thaldarin 4 months ago
@Thaldarin This is simply not true. While there is no doubt the NS2 Beta does have frame rate issues, motion blur is not disguising any low frame rates in this video. This in-game footage was captured using an fps limit of 45. The captures have frame rates varying from 25-45. To create the video, I actually downsampled the frame rate to 29.97 in After Effects. So if anything, the motion blur distorts the fact that the frame rate is much HIGHER than this video makes it out to be.
