Eternal Silence (except when you're getting blowed up)

Ruckus

Anybody played this lately? I played it a long time ago in beta but it's just been released on Steam (FREE for anybody who has a Source game already!)

I spent about two hours last night on a well populated (and pretty well balanced) server, 26+ people dogfighting/boarding/defending whilst our capital ships slugged each other across an asteroid belt.

He's from Canadurr. Maybe he speaks Francish or something.

It's like Rogue Squadron when you're out in space, and then when you're boarding/defending it's kinda like TF2.

This seems to have come a long way since the beta.

I would liken the infantry combat more to Battlefield, and the space combat is more like Descent.

Pretty good space combat game for an engine that was not designed for sprawling maps and vehicle combat.

In my opinion they did not do a very good job of differentiating infantry and ship silhouettes. 9 times out of 10 a bomber will request backup and I won't be able to tell which jaggy block flying around is supposed to be the bomber, and even if I do, the enemy team is usually already swarming on them since they get to see a huge "ATTACK" symbol hovering around it.

Also I really can't tell the difference between most of the rifles.

played a bit of this, I found the boarding parts to be less than fun. The ship combat seemed alright, although it was a bit difficult to figure out whether or not I was doing anything effective

needs work, overall, I guess is what I'm saying.

MrMonroe

Ok, I changed my mind

This is awesome

The infantry combat could use some work, and the interior design could as well, but all in all this is really fun.
