TremNS2 is a balance changing mod that changes a lot of mechanics from NS2, attempting to achieve the nostalgic feeling of Tremulous[tremulous.net], the Free and Open Sourced AvH/FPS. This means you run around at 10m/s as humans, turn the tide of your losing team into winning by getting few good players to rush the enemy base, survive on your own if you know a few movement tricks including strafe jumping and "jumping the gap" on the upcoming ATCS map remake, one-hit kill fades (Dragoons) with the ever slow moving grenade launcher grenades (Lucifer Cannon charged energy balls), and even modified resource income system from stock NS2 resource tower gain that balances the tick rate based off player ratio, and even frag-based credit and resource system (resource for kills) that should also limit the problem where a team with slightly fewer players will tend to lose against a larger team.

One of the most noticible gameplay differences between this game and regular NS2 is that you move around quickly but deal a lot of damage with certain weapon and classes, especially as Aliens. This means that it is expected to miss a lot of swipes with aliens compared to NS2, where aliens usually have about 40% and marines have about 15% accuracy. Expect to die very quickly if you do not know what you are doing, however. Not to worry, you still can earn your upgrades very quickly by making more kills. A common strategy a human does in Tremulous is to aim at the Dretches (skulk equivalent) rather than the big alien, especially when low on credits.

As mentioned above, the resource system in this game mode is significantly different from both NS2 and NS2 Combat in this major aspect: You destroy players for resources, income rate depends on what you kill (e.g. Skulk = 180c, Onos = 800c) and killing players results in additional resources for the team, with extractors/harvesters being 'an alternative income' to destroying players. Major rebalancing for the RTS system includes resource tick rate dependant on player count ratios (so small teams will not do so bad), Commander's roles requirement are reduced with fast research and self-medpacking, Structures get destroyed much more easily which means Front line fights / holding lanes matter much more now to "not let that one painsaw/dragoon" (welder/fade) into your base.

The mod logo (Natural Selection crossed out with the second half of Tremulous replaced with NS2) was actually screenshotted around 2013 or so for my youtube channel, with the old ns1 style font-alike (not the actual font) crossed out with the text 'TREMULOUS' inside the jaw of a Marauder. I have another screenshot with the basilisk wallwalking with its upper teeth in view, but since the basilisk does not have a lower jaw which means it doesn't look like NS, I didn't use it.
