Natural Selection is a fairly new Half Life mod based on the whole theory of "Natural Selection" - the idea of survival of the fittest. Choose either the technologically advanced Frontiersman Marines or dreaded Kharaa Aliens. The goal of the game is to collect resources for upgrades and buildings to ultimately destroy the opposing team. The Marines do this through a commander who has a star craft-view of the entire level and of the marines' view, and share an overall resource count. The Aliens have individual resources, and while not having a commander of some sort, must work together to become different races and support each other. Both teams receive upgrades through resources. For a more detailed look at Natural Selection, go to www.natural-selection.org
