Title: SabreWing (2)??
Post by: Sandwich on July 23, 2006, 06:41:54 pm

Ran across a reference to this game while browsing the FS2 section of the GameSpot forums... has anyone ever played it or its younger brother?

I played a demo. It was really fairly good.

The problem is, you needed to be connected to the internet to use it, and there was something about the missions being streamed from online. I don't really remember much about it. That may be why you are not able to get past loading, because the missions are no longer available on line. Since it is no longer supported, I don't know that you can play it any more, even if you own the complete game.

At least, that's what I can remember about it.

Say what? I dL'd it form the link here in this thread, And played both Instant actions at home on my work laptop. It worked fine.

I dont like the game (nothing personal) it just doesnt grab me as FS, WC or I-War do. It reminds me of x-com interceptor. (but without the resource management and the other good bits)

Hmm. That is different. I played it about 2 years ago and I seem to recall that is the way it worked.

I suppose I could be mistaken! :)
