Natural Selection 2 teaser shows massive and scary beast

naturalselection2

Natural Selection 2 is scheduled for release this fall and the online FPS has a new teaser posted after the break.

Hallways get deformed, flamethrowers become your best friend, power can be cut to enemy bases – loads of stuff’s possible.

Thanks, BigDownload.
