While you guys wait for Natural Selection 2 I suggest you guys check out Savage 2. I'm sure many of you have heard of Savage before because it's basically the same genre as Natural Selection. S2 became free and it's still a great game. While you wait you might as well check out the game, we have a great community and have a lot of fun.

Who knows, maybe some day there will be a group of S2 players who move on over here to form a clan.
EDIT: BTW you guys copied us. We did the demographic thread first!

I only heard about that ###### just because of this ###### spammers.
YESSS, I'll join you.
I was bad at Savage 2, and all the pros would scream me out of their games. Now S2Games is making Heroes of Newerth, a DotA remake. Now I hate them. They disable user-friendly mods left and right. Meh.

EDIT: Savage 2 is an alright game. I found it rather boring though after a while.
I didn't like the RPG progression of your character. Looking back on it it actually ended up a lot like DotA where you would be leveled above a lot of players and mainly focus on their "heros" and buildings while easily dispatching the majority of players. NS2 seems to be going in this direction with marines buying their own weapons, but still possesses a major difference; you don't keep your "levels" when you die except for global tech.
I also didn't like the RTS progression in Savage. You chose to level different build paths which improved and gave access to different weapons. These paths tended to be "harder" counters than in NS. You weren't helpless, but your comm choosing the wrong "path" could decrease your effectiveness by a lot.
In conjunction with the harder counters, the FPS aspect wasn't as prominent. The beginning of each match focused on melee because guns weren't effective yet. If you've every played a KvK game in NS and know what skulk v skulk combat is, it is essentially that but slower. So switching between range and melee was supposed to be the "meat" of that game, but it's not present in the beginning.
Finally, the maps were shaped like standard RTS or Onslaught maps. Two facing bases, a natural, a contested middle, and two flanking paths down each side. I much prefer the vents and cover that make NS maps a playground rather than boring empty areas.
