Natural Selection 2 Build 163

By: Derek Yu

On: February 18th, 2011

Dynamic infestation was a proposed feature of Natural Selection 2 as far back as 2006 (warning: video with significantly louder audio), when the game was still running on the Half-Life 2 Source engine. It’s only now, with build 163, that it’s has been added to the game’s custom engine, along with a host of other features and bug fixes. The infestation works very similarly to the creep in Starcraft – alien structures can only be built on top of it.

Natural Selection 2 is a multiplayer FPS/strategy game where players can take on the role of either a commander, who has a top-down view of the level, or a variety of grunts that are controlled from the first-person view. If you pre-order the game you can start playing the beta immediately.

Oh hey, the rifle has a melee attack now, I am looking forward to bonking sulks.
Though I hope the flamethrower requires a constant application to keep the infestation burning, and that grenades don't keep rolling and bouncing on infestation, it just doesn't make sense. :)

Oh new features.

I hope the game's a little more balanced now though, the old balance was pretty botched. Whee, I'm a marine and can instagib skulks with my shotgun, it's totally fair that I'm better in melee than they are.
