The game came out before 2000 or maybe as late as 2002. The plot was that the earth or the planet folks were on exploded and instead of doing what you'd expect chunks of rock to do, they all start floating around with atmospheres around em.

Gameplay was that you had a floating island with a character or more of them, you built a base on this island but you could also move it with propellers. Also you had to defend yourself against bandits that flew in on bombers and fighters.

I'm thinking it's got Nomad in it's name but I can't find it. It was 3D, you controlled one character, I'm nearly sure, at least you did for storyline sequences etc.

Anyone heard of this before?

    That looks pretty fucking cool. Is this multiplayer-able?

    I also forgot the name of a game. It isn't out yet, as far as I know. It's an indie game, developed by some people from some prestigious university.
    It was described as the Gran Turismo of guns, having something like a hundred unique weapons, with realistic ballistics, rate-of-fire and so on. I saw a few videos of it, and it looked kind of goofy in terms of gameplay. I'm really interested in the weapons aspect of it, though, and the game could have gotten a bit better since I saw it.
    Can anyone remember this? It was featured in GFW, maybe back when it was CGW.

    That's exactly it, thank you!
    I knew it had the subtitle "The ________ War"
