Its a mmofps with vehicles, xp that unlocks certs and 30 man platoons. Unlike most fps games it has 3 distinct empires, which make for more dynamic fights than the usual 1 team vs another. Fights occur across vast continents for control of bases that give you access to different vehicles/bonus'.

Old video of the original, which i still play

One i made myself of a prowler (tank) zerg we arranged. Each tank has 3 players inside :)
 
Problem is Jeffy - the ones who haven't played it from the start or for a good while will not simply understand why it is/was so good. :(
 
Not really, it was one of the first MMOFPS that really worked, with defined ground/air combat and support roles. Played it for a while but at the time there was no resolution, so you could play for hours putting loads of effort into a capturing an area and it meant nothing, nobody could ever win. Played WWIIOL instead. Ill definitely give this a spin.

I have always played NC, but I hate the Phoenix. Sure it does high burst damage, but the time between shots means you just have to rely on luck to kill things, aim at vehicles other people are shooting and hope you get the last shot off. Whenever I cert AV I grab as many lancers as I can, amazing accuracy, good damage, and its consistent over time. It just feels much more powerful popping up and letting off a round of ammo with it, then ducking down as you reload.

I see a mossie with missiles??

Also, I just got emailed with a link to this:

On the vehicles side, the Terran Republic has two unique empire vehicles, the Mosquito fighter jet and the Prowler battle tank. The Mosquito is an extremely agile attack aircraft, which can be outfitted with a variety of weapon systems to suit the needs of the republic, and has the fastest top speed of any air vehicle allowing it to quickly disengage from a sticky situation and regroup. The Prowler is a medium tank that is not only the fastest empire specific tank on the field but it can be armed to the teeth with extra weapon systems beyond the other empires medium tanks, making it one of the deadliest vehicles in the game.

Is that implying that each faction will only have two unique vehicles, everything else will be common pool? That's less than there is in PS1 now!
 
I'm liking that infiltrator, always hated the old frogman type Infiltrator with the face cut out.
