I really enjoyed that, in fact - thanks everyone :) Not nearly as terrifyingly inaccessible as I'd thought. As for next time ... I've played neither Hidden nor Dystopia, and I'm up for either.

We had 8 or so people on at one point, and so far in escape of my most optimistic estimates, and generally we kicked arse. Except for one irritatingly efficient fellow on the opposing team named Black Raven. He was quite clearly the Red Baron of the Silence. Even his dogfighting prowess wasn't enough to combat our sheer tactical finesse however, and we won through the day, slipping bombs into their heavily defended carriers, or storming through to capture their systems. ------ So far, we're considering Dystopia or perhaps the Hidden as next weeks Under the Reticule event. If anyone can think of some others to think about that would be great. Also, if anyone has any preference for when we play, that would be handy as well! Well things were a success!

Well, looks good. Downloading it now. Surprised to see they finally added Dystopia to steam as well.. That seriously was the first well polished HL2 mod and it took them over 2 years to add it... Had a lot of fun playing that, nice community as well. But well, if you compare it with something like TF2.... I quited playing it after TF2 came out.

Sat, 07 Feb 2009 21:33:46 +0000 http://thereticule.com/?p=2078#comment-668 Just gave it a spin, and its pretty fun when its not lagging. The weapons are a bit meh and its pretty much impossible to have a decent dogfight, so most of the time your just going to be spamming your cannons at the big ships. Oh well still entertaining enough, especially when its like 10 people storming a base :) i'll see what i can conjure up in the realm of time tommorow, though i might be a little late :/ Just gave it a spin, and its pretty fun when its not lagging.

What a difference a year or so makes! So long as you pick a decent server you can have a lot of fun. The Steam release seems to have given it a new lease of life too. Plenty of full servers.

Anyway my impressions were that it had a lot of potential back then, but that it was very silent, could barely find anyone to play with and it was often very laggy. Can't see myself having the time to play in this tomorow, maybe some other time though ;) I played this while I was at PC Zone last summer for a week, I wrote something on it, though it probably got heavily edited!
