Savage 2 is the follow up to the game that first (at least to my knowledge) combined FPS with a commander that plays the game like an RTS. Brilliant concept! Savage 1 was a bit of an experiment and Savage 2 is the newest version that has learned from the first game and added to it.

2nd trailer just came out;

It's like any other FPS but the commander has to build stuff like an RTS and that allows the rest of his team (who play like it's a FPS) to benefit from what he has built.

Savage 2 is out and I have to say that I'm really impressed with how the game has been set up.

1. It's free! So you can try it out and then upgrade to a premium account for $10. The Free version has a few limitations like no stats, less equipment slots and less access to higher unit types, but it's a great way to encourage people to try it out.

2. The game is set up for clans and you can create a clan with 5+ people.

3. The combat is well thought out and I really liked that you could not just block forever but instead your block would only take so many hits before failing.

4. Of course a huge plus is that the game is a combined RTS and FPS, so it's all about kicking ass in the FPS and the commander doing a good job building stuff and unlocking new abitities for your team.

5. There are NPC's in the game that protect resources etc so it's not just a sprint for one person to get to an area and take it. You need teamwork to defeat the NPC's and the enemy.

6. The game really stresses teamwork. If you fight near your Squad Leader you get a combat bonus - basically more chance of winning a fight. If you join a squad then go off and do your own thing (like 2142) you get no bonus in combat. The commander is a huge part of the teamwork element in the game and doesn't just drop arty and boxes like 2142.


I know that a lot of people like the fantasy style of game in our clan from time to time (Oblivion, Two Worlds, etc.) and we're also a clan that's into FPS's and RTS's so maybe this one's worth a go and maybe if enough of us like it it's worth considering as an official clan game in the future.

IMPORTANT! - If you're interested in playing it allow someone who has already registered with the game to send you an invite. This will give them a free rune for their player (like an unlock in 2142). I sent an invite to Redneck so he can send the next invite if he's interested and so on.

Hey shoot me an invite too. I've been meaning to try it but I keep forgetting about it. I loved the first one that came out.

I'll let Redneck send you one, so as not to take all the booty!

Well i kinda keep playing after hawk left and i have to say that only big con i found is that your char. level is rest each map or server, which kinda sucks, at first i thought it was a bug or something, then i hopped on the forum on their website and the stats rest each time, the website will track your over all experience that you occured, for the hell of it, but in game you always start at level 1

But it's still fun right? ;) I had a blast, just loved being commander in an RTS where the units were real players! When I played on a busy server it was total mayhem and it was like a fireworks show there was so much stuff going on, fireballs etc. But the game we had last night seemed pretty good.

First game as commander and we won! Redneck was on the same side as me to begin with but got moved over.

P.S. Don't make any smart-ass comments about how I was literally up against a "Mental Midget"!

NutZ figured out the referral deal, you have to creat your account in game, so you can put your referrer's name in there.

Interesting thread where the community players are talking about attitude and SF (not sure what that is) and I guess some form of stat padding in a game. http://forums.savage2.com/showthread.php?p=281515#post281515 They actually refer to 2142 (see post 54) and it's points etc. so just as we're new to the game it's probably good info to take in before we get tempted to say "well if it was like 2142 it would be a lot better".

We have a enough now to create a clan section in savage2, ive tried this already hawk, but it keeps giving me an invalid clan name error, so you try it and see if you have same issue.
