Natural Selection 2 is an immersive, multiplayer shooter that pits aliens against humans in a strategic and action-packed struggle for survival. It seamlessly combines shooter and RTS/strategy gameplay.
How can SG benefit from a Natural Selection 2 Server?
Natural Selection 2 Servers are very easy to maintain. They require little to no server maintenance or game administration. The Natural Selection 2 community is very friendly, and amazing throughout over 200 hours of ingame experience, I have yet to witness a hacker or spammer.
Populating a server is very easy. The most popular Natural Selection 2 servers do it by simply having someone go afk 24/7 in the server. Its one of those games where if someone is in a server, its going to fill up fast. I personally pledge that if SG is to get an NS2 server, I will be sure to make it populated.
The only con about a Natural Selection 2 server is that funding it can be rough. The only way I see this being viable is if we already have enough room on the Dedicated Server. That does not mean it is impossible to get donations from a Natural Selection 2 server however. Other servers have successfully funded multiple NS2 servers by offering Reserved Slots. Everyone is looking for a server with no lag, that always has players on it. We could easily become one of the Key NS2 servers that everyone wants on.
Other than bringing new players through Natural Selection 2, servers in other games makes SG look much more attractive to people who recently joined or are checking out the Forums. It means they won't be limited to just Source Games when playing on SG servers.
For those of you that have not yet tried NS2, I greatly recommend it. Its overall a badass game; and there is just simply none other like it.
