Can someone who's played it give me a brief synopsis on how different it actually is? I'm especially interested in whether the first 5 minutes indisputably sets the stage for the rest the round.

it's different from all these other shooter games because it's likea strategy/fps combined type of mod. You can be a commander to make sructures, build structures to protect them, (turrets) give em new weapons, research new technologies, etc. Aliens can build structures if you're a gorge (a type of alien), has different specialties, like the skulk can bite, and throw parasites that track the enemy wherever he is.

half-life and read the post above (including the link). If that doesnt answer your question, it's an-edge-of-the-seat-alien kind of game. If you play at night, which I often do, it does make you jump once in awhile when you're exploring the map (they got new maps and tweaked the old ones). It's pretty fun.

Is it a multiplayer mod or singleplayer?

did you click the link?

Multiplayer-only Half-life mod where one team plays marines and the other plays aliens. The humans must keep their cool and work together to assault an alien-infested spacecraft or colony. Marines vs. marines and aliens vs. aliens scenarios will also be supported in the near future.

I should have been more specific. I was curious how different it was from NS 1.0.

I would play this if I had Half Life. $30 is too much for a game that old, I don't care what outdated mods they put in the box.

no, halflife goes on sale quite often, i got mine for like 5 bucks a while back:)

i think its worth about 20 dollars with all the mods.

realism update makes it look reasonably good.

hopefully this 2.0 ns works. i isntalled the older one and no ns games showed on the server browser so igave up:p
