Anyone else heard of this? It's going to be the first RTSS(real time strategy shooter), and it looks like it's really good. It's an anti-terrorism game, where you move throgh the streets tactically contoling about 2 sqauds of men and then jump into one of them when it gets hot and do some heavy fighting. I can't link yet but just google it, you'll find some stuff.

I can't wait to see if they do a good job with the new genre.

Sorry kid, but that's not a new genre.


Muzzle Velocity 1997
Uprising: Join or Die 1997
Battle Zone 1998
Hidden and Dangerous 1999

Yeah, there were ones that were sorta RTSS, like savage and battlestations midway, but this is the first full blown one, where you command your troops RTS style and then jump into one of them and play FPS, that is new.

No, you could do that in "Muzzle Velocity"; command your units in real time on a map and you could jump into any non-airplane/artillery unit, and switch back to the map when you wanted. A real time strategy shooter.

Do you really think its that important for an RTS to have the 3/4 view, "drag and click" style interface of "Command and Conquer"? The way Muzzle Velocity did it was superior, as it allows for much larger battles and maps, or at least makes handling them much easier.

Whetever you say, as long as you have played it.
