I can't wait to play NS2, i loved the first one. Ah naturally a Mac version is planned!

PS: it could be posted as news imho.

Where did you find the info on the Mac version? All I find is this:

If you put out a Mac version or Linux version, will this pre-order let me play on those platforms?
We can't commit to a Mac or Linux version, but if we do, we let you use the same pre-order key on all those versions. Your key can only be in use on one machine at a time, but you can input it to as many systems as you like. We're big Mac fans here and we want it and we have the same problem with other games. We have to reserve the right to change this policy, but I don't see us doing so.

Already this text is comforting, i also have some pm from Flayra who is the UWE leader, he wants the Mac version too.

We will initially release NS2 on Windows (through our web-site and through Steam). After that we plan to bring it to the Mac and the Xbox 360. Maybe even Linux.

Right now it runs on Windows but we also plan on fully supporting OS X, Linux and Xbox 360.

What is Natural Selection? RTS+FPS. Or simply the best game ever :-)

TWO UNIQUE SIDES
Whether you play as one of the elite marine Frontiersmen or the vicious alien Kharaa, you must use unique strategies and your abilities to win. Marines form persistent squads to find and destroy alien hives. Aliens can choose a wall-running Skulk, pudgy Gorge, flying Lerk, murderous Fade or gigantic Onos that can smash through doors.

REAL-TIME STRATEGY
Commanders play from overhead to lead their team to victory. Build structures anywhere, collect resources and research upgrades. Marines buy weapons at an Armory or build sentry turrets and siege cannons to assault the enemy. Aliens build upgrade chambers, evolve special abilities and plant traps.

DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENTS
Spreading alien infestation deforms hallways and causes space station power failure, turning off lights and shutting down marine powered structures. Use a flamethrower to clear infestation or weld a bulkhead shut for a last defense. Every game is different.

UNLIMITED VARIATIONS
WYSIWYG graphical tools and powerful scripting allow you to create new weapons, scenarios or entirely new games. You'll get all our tools and Lua source code we're using to build NS2. Ongoing automatic updates keep the game fresh by adding new maps, weapons and abilities.

Still confused? See this very OLD Natural Selection 1 (1.0 first version) video to understand the genius behind this game.

Thanks! That is good news. The game also looks good.

Oh wow, when I clicked the thread I had all forgotten about the awesomeness that was Natural Selection...
Natural Selection was so innovative and fun to play, don't know if I can take the high pace fast action thing anymore, but I'll have a look if it comes to Mac for sure!

Brings back memories...Fun days with Half-Life mods...

I remember the first time i played it... i couldn't believe i was playing starcraft like game in first person.... i was so exited by the team play.

I was still a Windows user :-) Then Intel Macs came and now i play NS with Crossover Games (it works better than i ever experience on PC lol)


Every game at NS is different... today the NS servers are quite full of combat maps and bots... but still you can have fun in the right servers. Anyway NS2 will be a new beginning :-) I can't wait for the beta (preordered it)
