Spring RTS Engine

So, I guess Sony decided to end the devil-worship for at least one day, when they decided to make Infantry Online a free game again! (again = like it was in beta)

I wonder if it still has a playerbase?

Anyways:

Extremely similar to Subspace/Continuum (same developers) but cooler with better weapons, graphics, etc...

edit: it currently still tells you "you gots tah register o we gon' restrict yo ass!" when you try to play, but this is false.

i played this like 8 yrs ago when it was free

it was fun cause of those big ass cannons that launch the red bouncy ball that fuckin kills anything it touches

Let's just admit it: no matter what it is, if it kills anything it touches, it's pretty great.

Unless it constantly cry's and whines about it. Than it's just emo.

Upon further consideration, Continuum's "Trench Wars" ruthlessly owns every part of Infantry... so... just play that instead I think...

i was just going to write how much better subspace/continuum is and always has been

wtf is this, so many popups and errors, takes ages to get to play this shit, its like third time downloading something now.

buh now all crap is loaded, and i started game but couldnt play... cant see any infantrys anywhere.

i played continumm a while ago :O

i dont think i ever manged to master the controls T_T

The controls are a little dysfunctional...

Anyway, you've gotta download:
Station client
which then downloads a "mod" if you will, like AA is a mod, called Infantry.
Once you start Infantry, you must download the map you play.

It's not all-inclusive... it'd be too big of a download.

Anyways, join a zone with more than a handful of people in it. And make sure you join a subzone (or whatever, like a "room") that has players... like, each zone has a bunch of different rooms with totally different battles taking place on the same map. They all have different player counts.

I'd advise starting on mechanized skirmish... it's fairly simple. You need to finish 2-3 games before you can choose anything besides "grunt" and "medic".

To choose your class, push F11. Then to join the game, push F12. ESC also gives you all the options.

The various weapons you get are listed along the right side of the screen, with short bit of text next to them describing how to activate them. For instance, you might push Tab to fire your shotgun and CTRL to fire your main gun and shift-tab to throw a grenade.

TBH, infantry's not that great of a game, but it's a nice diversion every now and then.

After seeing how the game is now, I can honestly say it was better during the beta, like 5 years ago...

Emphasized it for you (because it's true).

but it's a nice diversion every now and then.

If only the controls were different to Crusader (No remorse + No regret).

If only the Captain wasn't running on empty
