Finally breathing new life into a classic
yet cutting edge Half-Life 1 modification
with the release of map pack #1
Natural Selection (a Half-Life 1 RTS+FPS hybride modification) was first launched on October 31, 2002 with version 1.0, it is up to version 3.2 as of now and has seen a lot of changes over the years. All this time there has never been an officially supported map pack. Sure a lot of servers had custom map packs, but these were not officially supported.
There were however a few occasions where the developers anounced they were looking to create an official fan map pack. Yet all of the attempts failed to take shape, mostly because the developers were to busy working on Natural-Selection and their new game Natural-Selection 2 (still under development).
Now finally after all these years there is a community member (Brent 'Stix&Stonz' Mitchell) who took the step into realising a fan map pack. There were a few before him who also tried, but never got to playtesting/bugtesting and actually releasing a map pack. If he plays his cards right, it might also be officially supported, complete with a news article on the NS main website. The map pack(s) will be released in iterations, the first step is of course map pack #1 and, here comes the most important part, map pack #1 has been released, you can download it from:
