Natural Selection 2 Closed Beta Begins Tomorrow
by Brian Leahy, Nov 18, 2010 1:40pm PSTThe closed beta for Unknown Worlds Entertainment's mod-turned-game Natural Selection 2 will be kicking off tomorrow with access being granted to the first 10,000 pre-order customers, reports Joystiq. Those that have already pre-ordered are already included.
Natural Selection 2 can be pre-ordered for $34.95. The beta will be handled through Steam and will be patched throughout the remainder of development until finally transforming into the final version of the game. Previously, a playable alpha had been released for those that pre-ordered the game's special edition back in July.
If that wasn't enough, Joystiq has a new, exclusive trailer of the Fade class embedded below.

NS2 is feeling pretty broken right now- which is to be expected, coming from alpha and moving into beta. It's certainly rough. But hey, few games aren't.
The original Natural Selection though was my favorite game ever, still holds that spot. The teamwork was simply on a level that no game has since met- finding a way to encourage you to work together and get to know/rely on your team without completely hindering you. The teams that won TRULY worked together, those that didn't... well, didn't.
On top of this, the game had huge amounts of variety, a large tech tree, and could become absolutely epic. I adored it.
