Natural-selection 2d

lillbrorsan · March 2005

<div class="IPBDescription">Wouldn't it be awesome?</div> Me and my brother just looked at the NS sprites zerobyte made ( <a href='http://www.deviantart.com/view/4721123/' target='_blank'>http://www.deviantart.com/view/4721123/</a> - <a href='http://www.deviantart.com/view/4721064/' target='_blank'>http://www.deviantart.com/view/4721064/</a> ) when we got this cool idea.

How about Natural-Selection: Combat in 2D ala Soldat?
I mean, think of it!

Wouldnt it be soo cool to be marine or alien in 2D and just fight against each other in combat? I think it would <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

could be wicked... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

I love Soldat... An NS game like that will definately take the second place from Soldat; in my most played games list...

mebbe the 2D version could have single player. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

single player?? that sound way to logical.. lets make it a multyplayer, that would cool

PRTe · March 2005

you mean like.... cs2d?

<a href='http://www.cs2d.com/' target='_blank'>http://www.cs2d.com/</a>

yea that would be cool <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

gazOzz · March 2005

More like Soldat...

lillbrorsan · March 2005

Yeah, like Soldat, sidescrolling 2d game.
Maybe a Natural-Selection Classic 2d game ala CS2D style? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

lagger · March 2005

Would the marines come with jetpacks?

coris · March 2005

I assume it would be marine vs marine?

lillbrorsan · March 2005

Maybe make Marine vs Alien, Marine vs Marine and Alien vs Alien on 2D Combat?

theclam · March 2005

Well, Starcraft is 2D, so NS could easily be 2D.

WhiteKnell · March 2005

Heh.

AlienCow · March 2005

If its anything like CS2D I'd play it. That was far more entertaining than standard CS lol. Hundreds of bots and a machine gun = massacre

lillbrorsan · March 2005

Theres alot of problems with a game like ns would be like CS2D and i am sure you can figure those out by yourself.

Heres some quick stuff i did:

If there was a "pixel hive" i would have added it.

Rapier7 · March 2005

You'd have to completely revamp the gameplay system if you want NS 2d to occur.

The only reason why aliens even have a chance of surviving is because of their ability to dodge bullets.

It's hard to dodge bullets when you can only move in one plane.

PoeticJustice · March 2005

It'd be good if some places were out of eyeshot like a few nooks and crannys that you cant see into unless your in front of them

Ahnteis · March 2005

There's a top-down mod for Unreal 2004 that could fit right into the NS world. Can't remember name. It's pretty fun.

lillbrorsan · March 2005

Its called Alien Swarm <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

IBT · March 2005

NS on soldat? the ailens dont stand a chance unless they literally swarm you like 50 of those "zombie" bots i made, and the RTS style gameplay would be totally destroyed.
personally, i think a MVM D&D is the only possable thing useing soldat. but even that's streching it, it may have to be CTF.

commando_carl · March 2005

that would be cool, but i think marines would have a pretty good avantage,

Flyingcow · March 2005

the field of view couldbe like the flashlight on the minimap. thatway, you could ambush a marine from behind or the ceiling. or make it a birds eye view.

GNS · March 2005

2d? You mean like Codename Gordon?

lillbrorsan · March 2005

Yeah like Codename Gordon or Soldat.
The balance issue could be solved in several ways so each team have the same advantage.

Blue_Mary · March 2005

Mabye it can be 2d Top-down style, like this game Infantry?

<a href='http://infantry.station.sony.com/en/' target='_blank'>http://infantry.station.sony.com/en/</a>

The game itself was a great view of what Marine vs. Marine would be like in 2d, and was fun.

Marine vs. Alien in a game that looked like this, 2d, I would think would be great.

Many things in it, concerning upgrades, weapons, and evolutions can be determined by a shop-like system, similar to how Infantry has it.

Eh, check it out and give thoughts?

Onos_Happy_Meal · March 2005

I think this would be a great idea, but i agree that marines would have the advantage of playing in a 2d dimension because the aliens can't dodge bullets as well, if they can at all, maybye beefing up aliens movespeed, hp, or a global overhead vent to ambush out of. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif' />

BadMouth · March 2005

if u wanna do top-down view, u can pretty much retain the essence of the game.

if u wanna do it codename gordon style, u can only do singleplayer mode.

gazOzz · March 2005

You can do a multiplayer game platform type; without losing the essence of ns game... All the dodging and marine advantage issues can be done by buffing aliens... You even can have lighter version of ns mode with buildings and stuff...

Just force your imagination... Nothing is impossible... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

it was bad enough when you couldent get it to work 90% of the time, but a half hour time limit? kick them in the nuts for me.

huevos_splash · March 2005

i read 1 post into this topic and i think it would be a pretty good idea... especially with those sexy-ace sprites <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd-fix.gif' /> mmmmm, swweet sprite-action.

Swift_Idiot · March 2005

Hahahahaha I read this topic early this morning and it's still just as funny now. Re: Hahahahaha. But seriously I think it would be comedic but I wouldn't buy it I don't think. Not that 2D doesn't have potential but a 2D title using that potential hasn't been on the radar in a long time.
