Hopefully Flay will do his usual forum bum post, but here's a nice shot compliments of the playtesters. I will be posting 10 screens at RR.org tonight as well.

More ingame pics <a href="http://www.natural-selection.org/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=1;t=3393;st=10" target="_blank">HERE!!!</a>

    That was Killtoy having fun with our beautifully constructed base, backed up by a sneaky Level 3 who was hiding in the vents.

    I had 100 health, because I had just been gored and trampled to death. Bah, damn you Killtoy! <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    Are these natural shots. I mean do you guys "set up" to take these playtest pics. Or are these from real gameplay. They are awsome. I bet we can evanutally see some kind of Natural-Selection The Movie.

    They are pretty much all ingame unprepared shots. We tried to stage some shots once, but the Alien players decided it would be a cool idea to destroy the marines base instead of join in the photoshoot, so it never happened.

    NS is <b>very</b> cinematic, while at the same time being so very playable, and it makes it a beauty to play, because theres always both excitement and a beautiful view ready round the next corner.

    As far as I know, all the shots taken and shown to the public are displaying gameplay as it happens. I'm quite impressed myself.

    Oh how I wish I could play... (And I'm a playtester. How sad is that?)

    Yeah, none of these images are staged, they were all taken while I was playing or spectating.  I'm not saying that every screenshot is interesting. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->  We take many screenshots, and pick the best to show (just like anyone making a game).

    (Edit- Bah! My internet connection dodged out on me for 15 minutes and by the time I was able to reply, everyone else had already answered. Heh, and real nice... it disconnected for another 10 minutes before I could post this edit.)

    Goodness no... Those shots, while pretty cool, <i>pale</i> in comparison to the usual gameplay in this game. I want to share stories with you guys sooo bad. Though I will say that one of the games I played this weekend on ns_hera would give ANY singleplayer scripted sequence a run for its life. I mean, wow... it was incredible. I know what you mean... those do all look set up in a way. I can assure you that they aren't though. The gameplay really is that damned cool. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    f3rret, the webs are the translucent looking long white strands of stuff spewed all over... like from floor to ceiling. The White circle things are alien hive sight indicators. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    Also in German(my motherlanguage) i can't really describe it...

    Flay was kind enough to allow me to post these up. I really had a blast this past weekend.

    (Note: I'm horrid at adjusting screenshots to show the correct env_gamma settings, so needless to say, these look a tad better in the game.)
