Beyond Protocol

[Potsie]

This MMORTS any good? Its one of the few MMORTS games I have seen advertised in a game mag

I've heard some good things about it but i've never tried it.

I played it a few times. Fun to build stuff but kind of dragged on after a time.

I've done some reading, and it does look like a true strategy based mmo. It's in closed beta right now, so I'm sure not everything is in. Looks like they just upgraded some graphics and put in a new tutorial system. I'll see if I can get in.

[Aaddron]

Anyone play this game yet?

I played one day a few months ago but lost track of it after that.

Ok, like I said in the general strategy vote, I got in, and MAN do I love this game! It has a HUGE amount of strategy and customization!
Viko, I have no idea how you lost track of it! I do know that there was a very steep learning curve and some serious bugs a few months back, I keep hearing that from some of the guys playing it, but the tutorial helped me out a lot. The graphics look great for an MMO, they just put in a bump and illumination mapping system which has it looking all spiffy!
It is still in Beta, so it has its quirks, but the dev team is supercool about helping.
Let's see, there's so much to tell...
Custom weapons, custom units, custom buildings...
Research is, hard, but interesting...
Plus it's huge! I liked Sins because of how big it was, but this game is even bigger! It's not quite as fast, but with an mmo, and lots more strategy, I think that's to be expected. It cuts down on the urge to tank rush, imo. I've only been playing for a few days, so as I go on I'll update you.

[Aaddron]

Great keep us updated.

[FightOYoLife]

I don't have much time for anything but work, sleep and food lately, but I sure will!
One new thing I've learned is that there's agents (like 007 and Dick Tracy)! I'm not entirely sure how they work, but what I do know is it's like another game inside this game!

Ok, something new, I've been discovering new minerals for days now, and one guy told me that there are 105 minerals... there's also an alloying system. You can combine any of the 105 to make another one, man... I don't think I have enough brain for all of this game! It's great though.
