    ah yes, for those who are just so damned ignorant, you should just go hang your self, because hanging your head in shame isn't sufficient.

    Natural Selection was a half life mod which was just astonishing, it arrived 10 years ago on Halloween.

    Its Aliens vs Marines.

    But its not a First Person Shooter, its not a Real Time Strategy. It's both.

    With Natural Selection 2, its been made bad a rad tag band of a few developers graphics artists etc. I think there are fewer than 10 people who've worked on it.

    They've made their own gfx engine because nothing else existed that allows a top down RTS style view, but is an FPS engine.

    You've got all kinds of weponary / alien lifeforms which you need to hold resources to be able to evolve too. Flamethrowers, jetpacks or big stompy robots and flying aliens.... It's amazing.

    So just buy it

    TBH I dont see whats so mind blowing about it , I mean I like the concept but in some ways I like the mount & blade approach a lot more where the enemy and locations are a surprise.

    that rope would make a nice swing

    I also don't know what all the fuss is about regarding a critically acclaimed, genre defining title I have never bothered to play.

    There are times I do love you. However I'd still be the bigger spoon, and cry afterwards... Alot.... Drugs too.

    The last match was great, a real turn around, with exertus winning despite a bad start.

    The next, the final, arc vs exertus is just about to start.

    ****, I was enjoying that in a "no idea what's going on" kind of way.

    I think though, its something that i would need to go hands on to appreciate, since it is mainly overview, and i presume the average player sees everything first person so the intricacies of the map are lost right now.

    I played NS when it was first released, think my clan was on the beta (not 100% on that). It tended to be difficult to get a good game on a public server, mainly due to a shortage of people that had commander experience. If you jumped in as a commander to try it out, you tended to spend most of the round being sworn at by players on your own team.
