Natural Selection 2 - You should play it

Im fairly certain all ya'll don't really like it for reason unknown to me, but this game is one of the most fun and exciting games (when you get a good team) that I have ever played. I recommend it highly.

Yesterday, I had a 1 Hour and 45 Minute match with teams picked via "Schoolyard Captains Picking Players" routine. I had been playing on this server for roughly an hour prior and it became apparant that many people (including myself) were stacking good players on a team and leaving the new or worse players on the opposite team. It wasn't fun for anyone, even the stackers. We decided that the fairest way (considering the randomize thing just doesnt understand how to EVENLY put out teams) would be for each team to pick a commander then the commander chooses it's pawns. Our (alien) commander was a guy called ":(", and he was absolutely amazing. I had been on his team for almost every round before that and he was super duper.
This match, as it was evenly matched in teams, was a constant back and forward power struggle of areas, and we were being pounded for the first 20 minutes. Making a comeback required all of our team's combined efforts of working together and watching each other's backs. This game requires teamplay of a high standard to come CLOSE to winning.

I don't know exactly why I made this post but I guess it's to just encourage you all to give it a try, and if you don't own it? Buy it. (Next sale of course c:) (sell some cards if you dont has dosh m8)
