This mod is set in Games Workshop's, great Warhammer 40,000 ( 40k ) universe. Each map pits Imperial Space Marines against the Tyranid swarm and the Legions of Chaos, competing in a series of mission objectives, culminating in a battle to decide the fate of the planet.

This download is a self extracting installer including all you need to host and play Exterminatus - Rival Species 2. Two Species: Humans and Tyranids. Thirteen distinct classes, each with their own weapons. Nine maps from the 41st millennium, each with their own missions and objectives. Alpha 8.24 features improvements and bug fixes to the Dreadnaught class and tweaks to the map, class and wargear menus.
Thing has been in Alpha since 2007. 8 years. Not even beta yet? Sheesh.
Betas are out major/stable releases (with news posts and pictures and everything). Alpha releases happen between Betas to allow the community to see the progress we're making and help with testing the changes.
The last Beta was version 8.21 which was released earlier this year and remains the version I recommend for anyone wanting to *play* the mod rather then testing our unfinished work.
