Right now I’m basically playing Beyond All Reason almost every evening. It’s a game in the Total Annihilation “tree” of games. A massive scale RTS. I previously played Supreme Commander and Planetary Annihilation, both of which are also inspired by Total Annihilation, but I have to say that BAR is really better than both of them. I almost can’t believe it’s an open source game. It’s still in alpha, but it’s been way more stable than most AAA games I’ve been playing recently.
it’s about the single player storyline. It feels like BAR is more geared towards online/multiplayer, while zero-k has a proper full single player campaign.
Don’t get me wrong, I played with BAR for quite some time and it’s still a great game, I just “clicked” better with zero-k.
Ah cool, didn’t know that Zero-K had a whole campaign going on. I think we’re kinda opposites though, because I really don’t enjoy the RTS campaign gameplay experience. I’d much rather play against bots (or maybe online).
oh wow, didn’t know about that. I did play TA a lot (I mean, I still play it sometimes, big bertha feels sooo good!). But yes, the idea behind them is pretty much the same as TA

You shold look into zero-k as well. I started out with BAR but found out zero-k more engaging
Could you elaborate on why zero-k is better than BAR in your opinion?

That’s a continuation of TA Spring? Neat, played that a looong time ago.

Never heard of this and I’m a big fan of the TA/Sup Com series. I will try it when I get the chance. Thanks for sharing!
I’d never heard of BAR, just gave it a go. I can see myself wasting alot of time on this
Sounds amazing thanks!
