VERY interesting.

looks awesome!

This looks like it has the potential to be a) very very fun or b) completely craptastic. I'm hoping a...but expecting b.

I'm a bugtester for this game, and it's pretty sweet. Once you get over the novelty of playing as ants and termites and walking around these crazy colorful maps with all these plants and stuff, there's still a lot of really strategic gameplay and teamwork there. It's kind of like a mix between Team Fortress Classic, Natural Selection, and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. With insects.

Too bad they don't have a grammar checker for this game and its website.

Yeah, well, it's all written by a French guy. Cut him some slack.

Ah! ESL always gets slack from me! I assumed it was written by someone that spoke English natively. That says a lot for the quality of his English.

So, what do you think of the mod so far in terms of TG-style play? Promising? Do you think that it's near being ready to play?

TychoCelchuuu · 01-13-2007, 12:55 PM

Well, it's certainly not as polished as other TG games, and it obviously won't attract any military/realism buffs, but there's a lot of teamwork. It's kind of like a cross between TFC and Natural Selection; there's not a ton of fast combat action (yet) but if you work as a team you get a lot more done. There are still balance issues and stuff too, so it's the kind of thing that you really have to just try out and see if you like it. It's definitely very quirky.

**whistler** · 01-13-2007, 02:57 PM

I'm willing to try this. Look me up on Xfire if you're interested in a game.

Kamer · 01-14-2007, 05:50 PM

DLing now, ill post thoughts after playing a bit, but any other TGers playing this?

From what i've read, it plays like Natural Selection. Maybe get a trial server up?

You will need 1.0, and the 1.0 -> 1.0.2 patch.

The Insects Infestation concept combines diverse combat capabilities and strategy oriented gaming. In fact, it does not only allow you to shoot anybody at anytime but it emphasizes on team play tactics.

Obviously based on the insects point of view, II will offer its players to choose among three different insect species, Ants, Termites and Alliances. Each of these will have its own set of unique weapons, powers, behaviour and abilities. To add a little interest, species will be available in two main starting classes: Soldiers or Builders. Classes will eventually evolve into six distinct classes as you play, again to give even more diversity to the game.

The goal is to kill the enemy queen and any enemy player that would dare to stand in your way. Since the game will be team oriented, you will really have to work together for the greater of your species. Starting at your nest and you will have to build your colonie's offensive as well as deffensive structures. While players will be building ressources or protecting the Queen, others will prepare their tactics to attack the enemy. The more you play as a team, the more successful you will be.

Another interesting point about the goal is that II will also support different gaming modes. There will be a training mode, allowing you to understand each insect particularities. You will also have a FireFly mode where you will have to take control of all FireFlies in the map and many more.

As you can see, this fresh and original mod for HL2 will give its players a new level of intensity and a really interesting gaming experience. Stay tuned !

Quote:

# Ants. A colony of ants have mixed attributes combining speed and strength to form a balanced, solid force. Well rounded, ants are ideal for newer players.

# Termites. The termites are strong, burley creatures devoted to serving the queen. What they lack in speed, they make up for in pure brute force.

# Alliance. The ‘alliance’ is a team formed by various different species of insects to try and combat the ant and termite forces.

Currently only Ants and Termites are playable.

DL'd it, played it, didn't really like it. Could have potential after a few updates, but right now it kinda stinks.

nulloperations · 01-14-2007, 11:27 PM

It's buggy (pardon the pun) but it is alot of fun. Requires a bit of teamwork on the ii maps. I don't care for the Dom maps, those are just dm and one guy can win by himself.
