So the above picture illustrates a dead marine because there is no way he's getting out of that, the big dinosaur looking son of a gun is an Ono's the biggest, most expensive and shiniest alien available that isn't particularly good for how much it does cost.
The guy in front of the Ono's is what looks like a basic Marine with the terrible machine gun there is nothing special about these guys it's just your basic spawn as a Marine. Those orange glowing things on the floor are Cysts they allow the Aliens to expand their structures to new areas and open new hives also as a marine the last thing you want to be doing is walking through goop filled tunnels.
(when I first played this I knew nothing about the cysts and the goop and it looks a lot like sick )
Here we have an Alien base from the viewpoint of a Gorge which I guess would be classed as a healer/builder. Now you may be thinking OK so why don't I just get Aliens vs Predator 2 because this seems very similar, well it is very similar but with no Predators, but and this is a big but there is another game play mode that may come as a surprise if you know nothing about Natural selection 2 and that is Real Time Strategy.
Here is the Alien commanders viewpoint, now this changes the game completely because you cannot get any upgrades in the normal FPS mode without the commander expanding and researching. This really is what made me want this game so badly because the thought of an RTS where the troops you have are real people just feels like a winning idea. The Marines have a commander as well but both teams are very different pretty much the biggest similarity between the two teams is that they both have commanders.
But alas time to leave this now and go and play some Natural selection 2
this is available on steam and on the day of this post it is on sale for £11.39 ($18.51) so go go go and I'm sure you will enjoy it
Thanks for reading
