KoMik Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I like the "old school" look of this game. Maps are maybe filled too much and thats why there is too tight routes (corridors) but that's just fine for APs tactics. I counted 11 team members possibility... whoa.. that's almost a full squad. Small and big tanks... o.k. Hopefully the general feeling is stirring... Strategies sounds like the X-COM1/UFO:EU except:Intercept and eliminate the alien fighters and transports before they enter the planets air space and reinforce their troops.Not a bad idea at all, I think. Thanks for the news Slaughter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrael Strife Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 What do they mean when they say "highly anticipated sequel" ?? This game is sequel to no other game! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 TriSynergy are renowned for getting things wrong and not knowing what they're selling, so this doesn't surprise me, hilarious as it is If I was ALTAR Games I'd be a bit annoyed about it though...

baby arm Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 The UFO:ET front page now says April 16th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 So, which is right: March 16th or April 16? I'd be more inclined to believe the 16 of April 2007, but a April 16 2008 release would probably be closer due to Tri Synergy/UFO:ET's consistent problems with nailing down a date. I will forgive the release date problems, however, but only if the game is bug-free and doesn't rely on players to test it "ticking box" style. - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
