Winning Game: Natural Selection

I'd be tempted to suggest Guild Wars 2 as they're having an extended free week starting on the 27th September (Friday). I still don't really know how we'd be able to play together though - given that you spend most of your time initially doing tutorial / NPC quests etc. Ah well - I don't think it's really appropriate for LN's because of that.

Other suggestions? Battlefield 3 and The Ship.

(Super) Monday Night Combat?
Trackmania?

Bribery Chug. Doesn't have to be secret. Well you've already outed yourself anyway!

[Hulinut]

if removing my ship vote this week makes it more likely to happen next week i'll do it :p

I am also away this weekend so voting against my choices (bf3 and the ship)

[DeadlyAvenger]

Since Natural Selection 2 is looking likely - the game is $24.99 from the developer here (http://www.naturalselection2.com/) or you can buy on Steam for £18.99. They also do a 4-Pack for £14.25 each. You can also buy individual copies from GMG for the same price using this code: GMG25-J4B0D-FLH8M.

It was dirt cheap in the last Steam sale. If you can't afford it now, I'd really recommend you pick it up next sale as it combines a nice mix of resource management/strategy with fps.

Almost starcraft in first person!

I wouldnt mind dusting off SMNC again (its free aswell btw) and help you guys through. From what I heard from one of my old teammates who still plays ist the numbers have been rising a bit lately, its been over a year since I dropped it along wiht 95% of the hardcore playerbase lol

Are Spark and Assassin still annoying?

No balance changes since June 2012 I think so yeah.

I was very impressed by Natural Selection 2. I was interested in playing it after i49 - we saw the finals of a tournament for it there and I had no idea wtf was happening.

Turns out, when playing the game I didn't really have any idea wtf was happening. Took about an hour or so to get to grips with it but thought it was a pretty fun game (and I seemed to be coming in the top 3 for a few rounds)! You basically just have to follow your commanders orders, build stuff, defend stuff and attack the enemies stuff. The combat is pretty fast paced (aliens are super fast but weak, except for the big rhinoceros!).

You don't really see that much of the RTS side of it - other than following the orders of your commander to build stuff. Maybe you get more of that when you play as the commander? The commanders we had were bordering on raging for a couple of rounds - I wonder if it's a bit like herding cats on public servers?!

The game look very pretty - it feels like you're in the aliens vs. predators / prometheus universe.

[Berath]

I missed that at i49. Would be interesting in watching a few games, might get the hang of it a bit more.

Still think it's potentially an engrossing game but still with a pretty steep learning curve even though I think they've done more work towards making it newbie-friendly. Or at least so I read.

I agree, as a grunt you don't see much of the RTS side, follow the commander, work out where to go and how to upgrade your weapons, armour etc (or mutations or whatever for the aliens) and try and kill things.

I don't blame the commanders for raging...I think it must get pretty frustrating on a pub with randoms...10x worse than trying to do anything on a TF2 pub. You've got a clear idea about what's being built where, where your team needs to defend, where and when it needs to attack and everyone's running around like headless chickens. Actually I hand it to them for even trying. You can see how good it could be when it all works though and the teams are evenly balanced.
