Allegiance Source released:

Probably already been discussed in the general forums, but i thought it was an interesting move for Microsoft to make.

Go figure :)

I can't find any information on this game, was it good?  Was it a flight simulator?

it was a multiplayer teambased strategic space sim.
Never played at it, but I've heard that it was very good. I seem to remember that you had to pay to play on the servers, but it doesn't seem now, and the dedicated server is free to download.
I'm trying to see if there is a community somewhere...

They released the game assets for free a while back if memory serves, now comes the source. It's some kind of MMO/pay to play game. Haven't played it, but the people who have swore by it.

MS, go figure :)

Iit's described as abandonware btw, so I think you don't have to pay anymore to play (but obviously not being supported it'll be hard to find servers, I think).
From what I remember of the descriptions of the game it was close to the space sim of my dreams (teambased, RTS...).

Ehy can't you just copy/paste the client code into freespace open ?:lol:
kidding obviously but I'd really love to see the same features here:)

I'll have to give this little baby a shot.  Maybe I can find a game that runs well on 56K...
