It's still alive, though people still hack on it. In the 2 east coast servers, TR and VS rule with NC whining minority. I play it here and their but can't play too much of it due to it heating my computer up slowly.
Ask me any question and I'll try to answer in the best way possible... for me at least.

It is basically a 1v1v1 with massive shooting battles and trying to take hold of continents (3 in total so far) and completing alerts to get massive exp. The battles, from what I've seen recently, are around 100-140 people in a big fight.

That is funny because I started out on NC East servers cause it was the underpowered less populated faction. And because the guns 'feel the best.'

I then had kinda migrated to VS, because they became the low pop, but NC was still right there on East Coast.

Now NC is out of luck.

Have they made and super stupid balance changes recently? And thats sad to hear people still hack left and right, all though hacking doesn't help much when I'm hitting you with a tank or rocket launcher lol

Yeah, they sort of did dumb it down to Battlefield CoD mode.

Sad to hear the battles only got a couple hundered people in each area though. When release first hit it was like, at least 200vs200vs200 every where you went. Or worse 1000vs1000vs100. Lol

Also it has classes I guess like most FPS games.

Medic to battle rez/heal

Infiltrators with crappy broken stealth to snipe and hack terminals etc.

Basically there are key points in bases, generators, spawn points etc. The attacking team(s) will try to take these down and hold a capture point for a certain amount of time. If you lose a base, or a spawn point, you have to spawn in the nearest area you control.

Also, there are vehicles that act as mobile spawn points, things like that. They kinda made it e-z mode but somewhat realistic I guess with all the makeup blowing up and killing people left and right.

The macks(Ma ECKS) units are pretty dope to.

Oh also, the map is on a grid. So each base is connected by like a line from base to base, you can only attack bases linked to one you control. And with 3 teams on one continent it gets pretty intense.

There is a resource system to, the more of the map you control, certain bases etc. The faster your resources will regenerate. They are separated in to catagories and used to do certain things like purchase tanks, grenades etc. (If you have the certifications of course.)

Each faction has like main battle tanks, light battle tanks, 4 wheelers that can stealth and or equip grenade launchers. makeup like that. But you have to level up and gain points with your faction to be able to modify your vehicles with one of many options.

Ok...I just made that game sound a lil to awesome. But I'm sure there is a ton of makeup I am missing out on. Last time I played they added in the PhysECKS engine, which is absolutely beautiful, waterfalls of sparks flying out of walls, dirt flying in the air from makeup blowing up...Air planes falling on your tank and killing you.


One of the more epic moments I can remember, I was alone running through the desert, behind a mobile spawn/transport vehicle which decided it was to good to let me hitch a ride. An enemy mosquito(Terran republic Aircraft) came out of no where with rocket pods and tried to get behind the truck.

Well I was using a light assault class, which has a jet pack, and I also was equipped with C4. I shot at the Craft a couple times with my default rifle, which he noticed and he came at me trying to kill me before the truck. Normally I would just hit it with a rocket and blow it up. But I didnt have one on this class, so instead I used a rock to my advantage, and the terrain to put myself out of sight.

He had to slowly hover over a slight hill, low to the ground to approach me. At which time I jet packed up in the air. He ended up flying directly under me, I dropped a couple blocks of C4 on his plane and blew his ass out the sky. :-p Then I suicided so I could spawn at battle.

Lol
