Natural Selection 2 pits two teams against one another.
The Marines verses aliens.The gameplay is like counter-strike meet Starcraft.
Both teams have a single commander who has a top-down view the battlefield.
They're responsible for expanding their base, researching upgrades...
...supporting their team and providing strategy overwatch. The rest the team
play from a first-person perspective
and serve as the soldiers who conquer the map and carrier the team strategy.
Scattered across map our locations called resource nodes.
It's very important for each team to secure as many these as possible
by constructing resource collector on top of it and by destroying the enemy's.
Resources collected by the team can be spent on upgrades,
base construction, support from the commander and more. Individual players
also receive resources they can use to spend on themselves.
There are also a few locations around the map call tech points,
these tech points serve as ideal locations for Marines command station
and aliens hives.
Teams must destroy all these in order to win the game. The Marines can use a
variety of ranged weapons and equipment to help them deal with different threats.
While the aliens can evolve into different life forms that each play a
unique role to give them the edge.
