Unknown Worlds, the San Francisco-based indie developer of classic Half-Life mod Natural Selection, today announced the launch of the Closed Beta for highly-anticipated online FPS Natural Selection 2. It’s been years since the scattered forces of the Marine Frontiersmen last clashed with the alien threat known collectively as the Kharaa, but recently-received distress 
calls indicate they have returned to the galaxy in force. Want to be one of the first marines to take them on? Pre-order NS2 today for exclusive early access to the Closed Beta at www.naturalselection2.com.
Natural Selection 2 features:
• Superior Firepower vs. Alien Evolution – While Marines form squads and use a high-tech arsenal of guns and gadgets to blast through foes and destroy alien hives, the adaptable Kharaa can evolve into five deadly forms with completely unique abilities: wall-running Skulk, pudgy Gorge, flying Lerk, teleporting Fade or giant, door-smashing Onos.
• Real-Time Strategy - Commanders direct the action from overhead, building structures, collecting resources and researching essential upgrades as the rest of the team goes toe-to-toe with the alien forces.
• Dynamic Environments – Spreading alien infestation deforms hallways, destroyed power nodes result in tech-neutralizing outages and maps continually evolve as players destroy, seal off and break open pathways.
Players who have already bought an advance copy of Natural Selection 2 are all invited to join the Closed Beta and the first 10,000 players who pre-order the game in the coming weeks will also be offered early access. The Closed Beta features several atmospheric maps, multiple Marine weapons, four playable alien classes (Skulk, Gorge, Lerk and Fade) and plenty of strategy-focused FPS action.
