Natural Selection

Post by FireFro »

<!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.natural-selection.org/ns_hom ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>*drool*<br><br>This Half-life mod makes a lot of crazy claims and if half of them are true then I'll be happy. It's innovative, it's free, and it's supposedly near completion. With all the detail they're putting into it, pubbing might be a little difficult at first, but I'm hoping to get into it. Their idea of the command map is what I orignally hoped Tribes would accomplish with theirs. I'm definitly gonna check this out and I hope others will join me, since it seems to have a lot of promise for teamwork. <p>XMEN|FireFro[DTM] --- "I hate shocklances"<BR><BR>"Join me or die, can you do any less?"</p><i></i>

Buuuuuuuuuuump!<br><br>Okay, this didn't get a lot of interest when I first posted it, but I'm still itching to play this mod and it's being released for download on Halloween night, so I thought I'd bring it back to people's attention. <p>XMEN|FireFro[DTM] --- "I hate shocklances"<br><br>"Your going to be my bitches now" - Mustang</p><i></i>

So this is an independent mod for Half-life? You need the half life series to play it? <p></p><i></i>

ok I take it back....this game is awesome! I really want to encourage AB to try this...the commander role is made for Bug! It is awesome running around as a marine taking orders from the commander as you build the machines he sends in. <br><br>I was playing this morning and I was fighting 5 alien wall-crawlers. I killed three of them then was out of ammo and only had 15 health. I screamed into my mic "NEED SOME HEALTH AND AMMO!!!!!!" and a few seconds later, health and ammo kits beam in from the main base, a gift from my brother(who was com. at the time). That was awesome, too bad an alien had already bit my head off.<br><br>Seriously, AB and other XMEN, this is amazing I can seriously see you guys playing this. It is more about setting up forward bases, holding them until you get turrets setup and moving to the next room than first person twitch fighting(bad for me then).It is a cross of the creepyness of Aliens vs. Predator, the tech tree of Starcraft, the base assaulting of Tribes 2, and turrets of Team Fortress. I think this may be the first MOD that is going to whoop Counter-Strikes arse. <br><br>Cheers to FireFro! Good Pick! <p><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>I got your &%#$0@!

Yeah, I think AB would especially get a kick out of commanding a squad in this game. Though I just finished playing as aliens for an hour and I must say he might also get a kick out of being a two ton truck that get's to munch on a squad <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p>XMEN|FireFro[DTM] --- "I hate shocklances"<br><br>"Your going to be my bitches now" - Mustang</p><i></i>

They just released a new server patch that balances the game a little better and evens it up for the aliens. <p><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>I got your &%#$0@! EZCODE right here.....</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--></p><i></i>

Some guys were saying that the patch gave the aliens a big advantage but I just came from a pub where my marine team won 3 for 3, so <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif ALT=":p"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p>XMEN|FireFro[DTM] --- "I hate shocklances"<br><br>"Your going to be my bitches now" - Mustang</p><i></i>
