A new version 1.01 of the Natural Selection
server is now available, updating this popular recently released Half-Life
modification. The new release improves server performance by 20-30%, moves all
gameplay constants into server code (so economy and balance will be identical on
all servers), adds auto team-balance, and more. This update is only required to
run a server, and is not needed on the client end.
... is SO damn addictive. I mean you play a game, 1 game only, look down at the clock and an hour or two has gone by. With good teams i've had a 3 hour game, with 2 come backs from each team to almost win. The final base seiges are insanly awsome assaults. I must say I havn't had this much fun with a FPS mod/game in a LONG time. Good commanders make and break the marines side, and aliens really need to work together well if they want to hold all their ground. Playing on an 80 ping server earlier just kicked ass and this should make it even better.
As for the person asking about the game... just goto file planet or fileshack or one of those big files place and download it. It's only 80 megs or less and WELL worth it.
I don't suppose there's a Natural Selection website out there that will work with a plain vanilla standards-compliant browser, without plugins?
I'd love to be able to read about this apparently very interesting game, but all I can see on their website are the news posts. No links to screenshots, info, or anything...
