Longinius 1 Posted July 19, 2003 Its not RTS, its FPS. "Does it have good teamwork or is it just players running around killing people? (I like to investigate games before I try them)" Depends on what outfit you join, as always the people you play with make the experience. The outfit I am in is pretty serious, use teamspeak and work as a unit. But not every player plays like that, of course. As a whole, I am hooked by the game. It has very interesting battles, good team play and many good moments. However, if you like realism in all your games, this is not for you. There are no one shot kills, its sci-fi and not intended to be a realistic war simulation. If you like books / movies like Starship Troopers, Soldier, Aliens and the part in Star Wars II with the massive battles and dropships, you will probably enjoy this game.
