[et:qw]: Other games / mods with asymetrical teams

(nUllSkillZ) #1

Hi,

after all of the previews I was thinking about which other games I know that have true asymetrical teams.
I don’t think of games or mods where teams have only other weapon models with nearly the same accuracy / fire rate etc.

Only one mod came to my mind:
HL: Natural Selection

May be someone knows some other games / mods.

I’m working on a mod that kinda does this, but not with ALL weapons

The Alien vs Predator games had Aliens vs Predators vs Humans!
( at least, that’s what I have been told by a friend ages ago ) :slight_smile:

Yeah, Alien vs Predator 2 really rocked.

i thought it was pretty good. The game play could have been better thou… but the weapons were f***'n awesome. i didn’t give it much time.
as for other games with asymetrical teams i can’t think of any. mainly because the market has been dominated with WWII games. I kind of got tired of the whole WWII thing after the 2nd- 3rd year of it. and i wasn’t about to go and play CS.

wow, never knew about tremulous, i played gloom untill my pc was all out of processing power, that was a great mod…

now to test tremulous.

UT had Domination for 3 teams… Quake 1 had a 3 team mode I belive. Hey wait… am I still on topic? or does 3 sides still count as “true asymetrical teams”.

PlanetSide FTW!
Each team has unique vehicles, weapons and personal Mobile Armor Units called MAXs.

And unlike many games there are 3 teams. Pretty cool game. The teams are simmilar in that they have the same basic skills. All of them share common pool weapons aswell as the team specific ones…

HL2: Source: The Hidden

Edit:

Weren’t there asymetrical teams in one (or more) of the Splinter Cell games?

(Zyklon) #16

Yes, there are in SC: Pandora Tomorrow and SC: Chaos Theory. But iirc, those are almost unplayed on the net.

(kamikazee) #17

Basicly because it was lots of fun to play spy but less fun to play as a mercenary.

I’d say Gloom. If you havn’t checked it, do it.

A precursor to the Splinter Cell games was the Theivery mod from UT that suffered from the same problems. It was fun to play as theifs, but boring to play the gaurds.

Also, no one has mentioned Starcraft or Warcraft3! They aren’t FPS game, but the OP didn’t specify that. There’s plenty of other asymmetrical RTS games, but none of them have as truly different and at the same time balanced teams as the Blizzard games.
