Infantry

SuperMunchkin

<div class="IPBDescription">A cute little game</div>All right over at station.sony they have this game called infantry.  You get a marine, and it plays from an overhead view.  It's got DM and other interesting servers you can play.  One of those servers was an Aliens vs Marines sort of deal.  It's free- all ya gotta do is DL.  Now, it's no NS, but if you find that you like the way it plays, it could be something to distract you from stalking the forums waiting.

The 'Rine vs Alien scenario:  You have 10 minutes (or something) to grab to "scientific objects" and place them in designated drop zones.  You have a few gear setups to choose from: Sergent, Medic, Marine, Assult Marine, Scout.  The Sergent is the only unit that can carry an object (which are randomly spawned on the map).  

The Aliens try to kill the marines.. it's what they do.. they have 5 different forms (though 2 of them look the same as another just a different color).  Some of them spit acid, drop acid on the ground like a mine, etc.  Anyway, yeah, it's similar to what is trying to be done here- but on a much more generic scale.

Whew.  Happy hunting.

I used to play infantry. Now you have to pay for it. Back when I did though, I was the master of tactics. I would load up an APC, drive it to the very back of the enemy base, then we would storm in and attack em from the flanks. Fun times.

It's been a while since I played, a good while.  Pay now eh?  Hmm.. hadn't realized that.  And sorry it's not in off topic- hadn't occured to me to do so.  I just thought of it and started writing <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->

Bleh.  blah.

Infantry used to be my favourite game, but pay2play is effectively killing it.

Being a Sergeant in the old Mechanized Skirmish was an experience still unmatched by any other game; I wonder if the NS commander mode can give me the same feeling of influence on the tides of battle (I doubt it, hard to beat nostalgia...)

As an example how <b><i>not</b></i> to do the action+RTS mix, try the newest zone Fleet. If you ask me, using player controlled harvesters for resource collection is a huge mistake, and allowing random players to <i>spend</i> them is an even worse decision.

stupid sony.

actually the ONLY thing about star wars:galaxies that i find wrong, is that its gonna be a monthly pay to play.... HOSERS!
