<div class="IPBDescription">Award</div> I've searched the forum, I checked the main page, but did you know that NS has been awarded with the 'modification of the Year award'. Or something...
If someone already posted about this,so sorry...

Modification of the Year:
Natural Selection (for Half-Life)
Natural Selection's Commander view.
Natural Selection is possibly the most ambitious user-made modification ever brought to fruition. This multiplayer-only mod somehow manages to transform the aging Half-Life into a seemingly brand-new, atmospheric, and surprisingly deep action-strategy game, pitting hive-minded aliens against resourceful space marines.
Natural Selection's innovations are too numerous to list, but the marine's "commander" mode deserves special mention. Playing as the marine commander, you can order and re-supply other marines in an RTS-style, top-down perspective. This unusual concept not only works, but works well. Then again, it's hard to fault any aspect of Natural Selection: sounds, environments, gameplay, the interface ... it's all very professionally done and polished to a shine.
We're astounded that the Half-Life engine continues to evolve, spawning successful, amazing mods like Natural Selection four years after its original release. Charles Darwin would be proud.
