Always a catch then it seems. Ah wells still multiplayer is good stuff.

As for a "limited" release, wasn't that the same thing Bethesda said when they released Arena as freeware?

I've gotten a reply from the lead designer of the game, Marc. The game is 100% free and will remain that way.

I'm calling this review

It's multiplayer only though. D:

[DeathDude]

Still is reviewable. We actually have a few multiplayer only title on the games list.

Kinda reminds me of tremulous in a strange way, which IMO is one of the best freeware games out there

[DeathDude]

Least the nice thing with this is it will be a nice high profile game that we will have.

I played this game a while ago and loved the "newbie" setting, which was Human VS Human. The Beast side of this game is überly overpowered, and this remove all the fun from the game because it's supposed to be Human VS Beast games 95% of the time...

You know what would be great? That AR host his own Savage server. Now that would rock my day.

Yeah, like America's Army(not counting the horrible training missions).

@Eagle of fire: Maybe someone could host a dedicated server with a password and everyone on AR could get it. IDK, it could work..

IDK= I don't know.

Alien Arena is another one and any of the online rpgs too.

[Docktor_Worm]

alien arena has bots though i think

[DeathDude]

Don't think so, it's primarily aimed at playing online though that's my point.

You know, I absolutely LOVE this game. This game is probably the best RTS/RTSS I have ever played. The commander mode, which you use to setup building sites and such reminds me of Starcraft or that game Dawn of War. Then there is the unit mode, where you are a lone unit doing what your commander says, or freelancing, whether you are scouting, building, repairing, healing, or my favorite, fighting, it's all good fun. Tons of servers and they range from 2 or 3 people joined to nearly 30. There are different races, each race has 5 or 6 classes, and availible to most of the classes are 9(correct me if I'm wrong) different ranged weapons, and of course the usual melee weapon. Community doesn't seem to bad either, when I've asked for help I always receive an answer. Account making was instant and easy as well. If you see a guy named RyMan, that's me

I reccomend this to everyone, there is much fun to have with this game. Here's to having fun!

[Blood-Pigggy]

Your commanders can be annoying though, we had one that would just box us up with useless structures.

[RyGuy]

You can impeach the bad ones. But when you have a good one, man does the game get going. I was playing on a server with a total of 50+ people. It was no battle. It was a war! It was great though, everyone had fun.
