Just rescued the first scientist and destroyed the two cargo ships, not an easy game by any means is it? Lots of tactical thinking required, I like it.

Once you've completed it, try it again with the cheat that makes all the Cabal forces speak like scousers.

Hehehe - nahh, it hasn't gotten interesting yet.


Dang, I loved that game. Just played through it for the first time a few months ago... sooo sweet. ;D

isn't it just a shoot?

[Unknown Target]

No, RTS And a damn good one from what I hear. But no multiplayer and/or mod capability---I'm not gonna buy it. I want some replay value other than going thru the main game again

It's not an RTS UT. It is in the same genre  as Battlezone and Carrier Command (the game it most closely resembles).

The game gives you an aircraft carrier and troops who (mostly) follow your orders. You give them an objective and they go off and try to carry it out. At any point you can leap in and take over any particular vehicle and fight with it yourself but the computer players generally do a pretty good job on their own (In fact Patton is so good with the tank I rarely take over except to drive him to the next battle ).

Basically imagine an RTS seen through the eyes of the combatants where you can take over any tank and play as a shooter.

I believe Action Strategy would be the correct term.

Not to mention the dulcet tones of Tom Baker and the guy who played Avon from Blakes 7, two British Sci-Fi series' , one of which was one of the best sci-fi ideas ever created, the other one was about time travel

Actually it isn't a strategy game at all - it's a tactical one. First Person Tactical is how I'd nail it.

Outstanding game nonetheless - fully worth the retail price for the single-player campaign (which is all it has).

Is there a demo out? Now I'm curious.

01010: Thanks, but it's cheap enough as it is.


And I wanna play now... dammit, how did people ever survive when parcel mail was the only way of communicating???

Hell.. I'll take it if he wont...
£2 is roughly $5 CDN.. I think I can handle that

I've never tried the demo so I can't say how close it is to the finished product but you can find it here

I tried the demo, and although I don't remember what it was like after having played through the full campaign, I do remember that the demo made me add Hostile Waters to my "Must Get" list pretty much instantly.

Oh, and you don't even get the slightest smidgens of a hint as to the full storyline from the demo.
