<div class="IPBDescription">Just like NS?</div> Have you guys seen previews for the new game "Savage"?
<a href='http://pc.ign.com/articles/361/361820p1.html' target='_blank'>http://pc.ign.com/articles/361/361820p1.html</a>
All over their page and in press releases they brag about their 'new' game as fpsrts. You have the choice of going into 'command mode' where you give orders and work a tech tree. Or you can go as a grunt and be out in the field fighting...sound familiar?
"The difference here is that one player on each team won't be playing the action game. Instead they'll be viewing and controlling the action from an RTS perspective and issuing orders to the rest of the players as if they were units."
"Savage lets one player jump into a commander role to control worker units, build structures, gather resources, research weapons for other players, and suggest orders to the other players. As ambitious as this hybrid design sounds, judging from what we've been able to play of a beta version of the game, developer S2 Games seems to be on the right track."
LAME.
Someone needs to make some noise and say that NS was definitely here first...

Secondly neither are the first. Learn yourself some Battlezone.
However it is the first retail online fps rts that I know of
But the game itself is ridiculous. Simply because you start with a bow and a pair of two hand axes and then end with laser rifles and rocket launchers and crap. It's kind of retarded.
Lets see more.
First retail online FPS RTS? Does C&C Renegade count?
What makes you so sure that Savage won't have voice communication?
battlezone was the shiznit
HL certainly wasn't the "first" FPS game, nor was Quake 2, etc, etc.
The market is big enough for similar products, they've existed for years. No reason to whine like a kid and say "HEY WE WERE FIRST, NYAH!".. this will just raise awareness and popularity in the genre, helping NS's cause.
Being advertised as the "first" is rarely true for anyone anymore, but a lot of companies will do it. They'll also tout theirs as the "best", it's just business.. it's not a big deal.
Try to be objective. =P

au contraire, I am the first person to reply to this thread.

Renegade is as 'strategic' as Bozo Buckets. Not to mention incredibly unbalanced and not-fun. Gee how will this game end? Cloaked people camping a nuclear beacon, or an engineer rush?
BTW, I still play battlezone off and on, one of the best games ever in my opinion.
Note the use of the word "rarely". =P
