Natural Selection Half-Life Mod Reaches 3.0 Beta

Posted by simoniker on Sunday January 25, 2004 @06:23PM from the only-the-strong-mods-survive dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to the official Natural Selection page, where V3.0 Beta of the Half-Life mod "hybrid first-person/real-time strategy game" is now available. According to the page, changes include 10 new maps, as well as the addition of Natural Selection: Combat, a "...new fast and furious gameplay mode focusing on intense action. Combat games generally last less than ten minutes, and require very little knowledge to play." The mod can now be played using the add-on's "official Steam support", and will be "...listed under the 'My Games' section (not as a 3rd-party mod)", a laudable achievement for the Natural Selection developers, who've also implemented vital "skulk prediction fixes" for this update.

but, what still bugs me, is that they haven't yet implemented a 'html only' version of their page....
kinda makes it hard to browse for info...

Great. Just great. by ForemastJack · 2004-01-26 05:59 · Score: 2, Insightful

Quoth the write-up:

"Combat games generally last less than ten minutes, and require very little knowledge to play."

Because that's just what the First Person Shooter genre needed: dumbing down.
