Hey, you! Have you played Natural Selection 2 yet? If you fancy giving the FPS-RTS a go, today's your lucky day, as it'll be free for all and sundry to try and play on Steam from this morning until Sunday. To put a cherry on top, developer Unknown Worlds is cutting the price by 50% for the weekend too, bringing it down to $12.50.
There are, on this big wide Internet, shadowy sites which sell game keys a fair bit cheaper than other stores. While some seem legitimate-ish in a 'grey area' sort of way, apparently reselling keys from regions where games are cheaper, others are downright illegal.
Natural Selection 2 developer Unknown Worlds has cancelled 1,341 NS2 keys and eaten around $30,000 in charge-back costs after keys were bought with stolen credit cards then resold. A mite displeased, it's warned people off buying keys from strange places.
A hefty update for Natural Selection 2 hatches today, bringing everything from bug fixes and a new map to exosuit railguns and hordes of screeching deathbugs. Developer Unknown Worlds describes the free 'Gorgeous' update as "much bigger" than any since its October launch. To top it all off, the FPS-RTS will be half-price this weekend.
Halloween is a time for surprises so, with that in mind, boo! Sci-fi FPS-RPG Natural Selection 2 was due to emerge from its leathery egg on that spooky day, but developer Unknown Worlds has announced it is coming early. Only a little, given that Halloween is tomorrow, but it's quite welcome.
The spookiest treat of Halloween 2002 was the very first release of Natural Selection for Half-Life, a splendid asymmetrical sci-fi FPS-RTS mod. Now, developer Unknown Worlds has announced that it'll release the commercial sequel Natural Selection 2 on October 31, exactly a decade later.
Multiplayer-only games live or die on their ability to draw a lasting playerbase, but this can be tricky when you've only got the resources of a small indie studio at hand. Unknown Worlds is tackling this head-on before it can even become an issue for Natural Selection 2, handing out an extra 45,000 free copies of its FPS-RTS to pre-orderers to jump-start the multiplayer community.
Unknown Worlds still won't say quite when Natural Selection 2's supposedly "imminent" release will be, but the FPS-RTS must be approaching as the final big content patch for the pre-order beta is about to stomp out. Oh yes, stomp out indeed, as it adds a mighty exosuit for the marines to go all Starship Troopers, along with a remake of the classic mod map NS_Veil.
FPS-RTS Natural Selection 2's long gestation will end this summer, when Unknown Worlds' multiplayer evolve 'em up launches for PC, Mac and Linux. The announcement came alongside a huge patch updating its pre-order beta build with a few fine features from the original Half-Life mod that'd been missing until now--jetpacks and the alien Onos class.

Game Director Charlie "Flayra" Cleveland announced in a blog post that the playable alpha for Natural Selection 2 will release through Steam on Monday, July 26. Getting in is easy; everyone who pre-ordered the Special Edition of the game gets to play. Most everyone should be covered as Cleveland notes that a whopping 90% of the community has already done that. But if you've been on the fence, it's time to make the call. Once the Alpha starts, the door closes on Special Edition pre-orders, alpha access, and the special all black marine armor.
Answering the question no one dared ask, independent developer Unknown Worlds has revealed exactly how the Gorge--"the main builder/healer class" of the Kharaa in Natural Selection 2's asymmetrical multiplayer mode--and its stubby legs handle stairs.
