Mordax Blyrr Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 This game is more like an ongoing project so it seems. Currently at version 1.2.1 if I am correct and in the mean time lots of stuff is added to the game; infantry, object mass, tracers to name some of the highlights. The forum only seems to be active by a few people though and I was wondering if anyone here plays the game and what their opinions about it are? I am currently downloading the MP demo (unfortunately no SP demo) to see for myself.

ShoHashi Posted December 1, 2006 Report Posted December 1, 2006 I have the game. Purchased it a few months ago. It's not too bad, but won't be everyone's cup of tea, so to speak. -Sho
Mordax Blyrr Posted December 1, 2006 Author Report Posted December 1, 2006 Ah stupid to forget the link. Thanks lostinspace! Anyway its a tactical game set on distant worlds, however with familiar units and weaponry. The game claims to incorporate real life physics, armor penetration calculations, etc. There are 3 modes of play, Capture the Flag (self explanatory), a mode where one is the attacker and one is the defender and a 'kill the mammoth' style of play where the one team has a behemoth vehicle and the other team needs to track it down and destroy it. A typical game starts with the 'deployment phase' where you can assign all the players a vehicle to use (players can also be bots). You are free to position your troops instantly in a specific dropzone. Then the game starts and supposedly real-life tacttics should work like a charm in this game. You have a wide range of material: artillerie up to infantry. I have played the MP demo a few hours now and Sho is right. It's not everybody's cup of tea. Graphics are dull and sub-par, sound is as well, although the weapon sounds are quite nice. This game is more about teamplay, coordination and tactics as about eye-candy. You can view two 3rd party tutorial video's here to give you an impression of the game as well (needs Quicktime 7): http://tbgsoftware.com/tutorials/tutorialvideos.htm
