Natural Selection 2 blends first-person shooting with real-time strategy elements to create a distinct asymmetric multiplayer experience. One team controls heavily armed Marines relying on technology and coordination, while the opposing force embodies the Kharaa, a race of aliens evolving new abilities to ambush their prey. Joining a server encourages an environment where communication and coordination remain the keys to victory for both Marines and Aliens. Dedicated communities keep the game alive, offering moderated matches and a place for veterans and newcomers to refine their skills together.
