FPS / RTS combo
« on: May 20, 2010, 02:31:16 pm »
Anyone know any good games that combine FPS and RTS features?  Looking for games where the team
commanders play the RTS role and build buildings and set waypoints and whatnot while the grunts play an FPS, shooting up enemies.

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

In addition there's a few regular RTS/FPS games. Uprising, Battlezone, Parkan Iron Strategy.

Tremulous is probably the best for this that I know of.
It's an FPS, but you can build stuff, ect.

Allegiance
Spoiler: Screenshot (click to show/hide)
Quote
Allegiance is an online multiplayer real time strategy/space simulation game. Players pilot spacecraft (from small one-man vessels to large capital ships), flying in a team with other players and trying to gain victory through various means, such as destroying or capturing all enemy bases, or eliminating the enemy's will to fight. Teams are led by a single Commander who makes tactical decisions and invests in technology and bases. Flight and combat is done in either a first or third person view in a 3D environment, with a real-time, top-down "Command View" of your immediate surroundings also available

Quote
Wulfram 2 is a hybrid genre massively multiplayer online first-person shooter, massively multiplayer online real-time strategy, and simulation game currently being developed by Bernt Habermeier and published under the name SlurpySoft (Slurpy is the pen-name/call sign of Bernt Habermeier) using an original source code developed by Bolt-Action Software, of which Bernt Habermeier was a co-founder. Wulfram 2 is one of four known games to be developed by Bolt-Action Software, and is the only one still playable. Notable is the fact that Wulfram 2 is free to play, though the administration is accepting donations from the player-base and offering certain non-gameplay related benefits for it.

Battlefield 2 has a commander tough he can't build structures, only give commands, order UAVs and artillery strikes and so on.

The HLČ mod Zombiemaster features FPS players vs RTS zombiemaster.

I'm not sure if there was a commander in C&C Renegade but you could build buildings I think

Battlefield varies, in my experience. For the most part the players ignore the commander, and the commander simply relies on the 1, maybe 2 squad leaders who do what he orders and well placed UAV/artillery strikes. If all the players tended to obey then it would be a better example.
