imageNatural Selection 2 One Year Anniversary - Natural Selection 2

On this day, Halloween 2012, Natural Selection 2 was launched on Steam. The following year has blown our minds at Unknown Worlds. More people have purchased, played, contributed to and been a part of Natural Selection 2 than we ever thought possible. Naturally, this date calls for a celebration. Natural Selection 2 build 260 is now live on Steam – It doesn’t have a special name, because its special nature lies in its normalness. Natural Selection 2 has been updated countless times since launch, and it is the cumulative improvement that these updates have brought which are most proud of. The birthday build also includes some new toys to play with – The Shadow Gorge, and Shadow Lerk.…

    now when you say marine dodge jump we're talking about the removal of the 1 m/s velocity boost given when strafe jumping right?

    strafing and jumping is simply back to the original mechanic. (not that you can no longer jump sideways) :p

    DAT SPIKEY GORGE BELLY.
    DAT DEPTH OF FIELD SCREENSHOT.

    You guys should add back NS1 in-game music as an audio option for NS2. I feel like that is something missing that is CRUCIAL in building atmosphere to this game.

    How about dem 1st person animation fixes with female marine LMG hand wrapping? Thumbs aren't connecting to the rifle and there's also no recoil when shooting.

    Was wondering where this game would be a year after release. Came a looooong way. Even in times of frustration, this is really the only game I dedicate a lot of time in. Here's to another year *gorge taunt*


    Now I believe Evil_Ice has his OWN anniversary surprise :F.

    Want to upgrade my 'Diamond' level contribution to 'Shadow' using the link - however my Diamond purchase is not linked to my forum account (which I just created). Will I still be able to upgrade to Shadow for the cheaper price?

    When jumping, marine speed (while in the air) is increased by 1 m/s. The balance test nerfed it to .5 m/s I believe, but the wording here in the patch states, more or less, "removed completely," so there might be some confusion there.

    Unfortunately not, @Mr_Orange, the upgrade system requires verification with a forum account that currently owns an up-gradable tier.

    Happy Birthday Natural Selection!
    I have got 120 games on Steam and Natural Selection 2 is my favorite I have pulled over 1000 hours in it. I have never been disappointed in what UWE has done. Can not wait for the next game you make will be buying it in a heartbeat.
    Happy Birthday Natural Selection!

    Bring on Eclipse :)

    Huge nano shield nerf, wooo hooo :) I don't think removing strafe jump will make any different, noob skulks with bad bite aim will still be bad.

    I guess those changes to player collision haven't yet made it over from the beta mod?

    I always find it amazing how much the community expects from a small indie dev coming off a free mod, but you guys never fail to impress. Thanks for the countless hours of fun and keeping one of my favorite games of all time alive.

    Happy birthday Natural Selection!! Super excited to see Eclipse again. should bring back memories of my childhood :) also, THANK YOU for making marines less bouncy. I always felt like I was less agile as a skulk then the marines I was trying to bite. Should level the playing field a bit.

    Thanks for all the great work UWE!

    Nope. Quite a few things are missing from that changelog though, that's not one of them.
