[free] Allegiance.

Post by smartmonkey »

The Best Free Multiplayer Game Ever.


It's Allegiance, the multiplayer space sim Microsoft put out a few years ago - they opensourced it awhile back and the servers are being run by a nonprofit. Translation: A very, very fun sim game for free and a 45mb download.

Yeah. Meet my new addiction.

Okay, I downloaded it. If it weren't Finals Week, I might have time to read its textbook-like instructions, but I have to say it doesn't appear very... um... friendly to a newbie like myself. I've seen more than one warning about not playing until I know what I'm doing or I'll just make everything worse for everyone. Yikes.

Theres a fair share of counter-strike-noob idiots on any one server, but most of the 'warnings' are hyperbole - run the single player training missions and dive in. You won't be flying the teams cruiser, but you'll do just fine in an interceptor.

Yeah, I'm not much into games that REQUIRE me to team up with others. It's not that I don't play well with others, I'm just not fond of the "stupid noob" comments. Plus, I like to solo sometimes.

I hear you. My Team comment in CoH is "DON'T INVITE ME!" Doesn't work; I still get invites.
