Global Conflict

About the game
A hybrid RTS/FPS game that involves asymmetrical sides (Marines & Aliens) fighting for control of a map with the ultimate goal of wiping out the enemy team. Commanders on either side construct buildings, capture resources and support their troops while each unit on the field is controlled by another player, making a truly unique and dynamic experience.

Natural selection comes in 2 flavors:

• HL1 mod, with millions of downloads and a still active community.
• To-be-released stand alone game; scheduled for a September release.

Check it out. This is looking to be a fantastic game that I'm personally dieing to play. If anyone wants to play the mod, let me know. I'm too poor for the NS2 pre-order right now.

The mod is super easy to install. http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/download/

When I get back next Wednesday we should definitely play this. I heard from another friend that the mod alone was awesome, but the standalone version looks amazing! Glad you reminded me of this!

Bump! I've had a bit of cash in my pocket so I picked up the prorder. It has, by far, exceeded my expectations. The gunplay feels great, playing as the aliens is unique and fun, and the game offers lots of depth in strategy and playstyle. I really really REALLY recommend it.

Exo suits also just got implemented into the game. It's like the goliath from starcraft, but you get to pilot it!

Holy crap it's still a half-life mod? I thought this went standalone ages ago.

I had some awesome times playing this back when, I think I'll take a look at it for my GC-break game.

Actually, the new game is entirely standalone and built on a custom engine. Also some great news, it's just gone up on steam for pre-order and the official release month will be October!

I can't say enough good things about this game and its 4 person development team.

Steam has actually been acting very assholish to me lately, not installing/starting up anymore. Nor is it fully installing/updating games. Probably have to drop it totally from my computer and switch out one of my HDD's as it's probably FUBAR.

But I saw Totalbiscuit playing this and it seemed pretty cool, so I pre-ordered it. Haven't played it since this stupid crap began with Steam.

Ah, I hope you can get that sorted. If you pre-ordered, you get an upgrade to the delux edition + a free copy. :3
