Naturally, from that came Earthsiege 2. But in 1998, the series has undergone a name change, to Starsiege, and they are expanding the franchise with a whole new game that foregoes the 'giant robots' in favor of small infantry operations. Tribes' refers to the warring clans that exist in the story line, and are sure to spring up all over the net. Imagine Quake 2 with wide open spaces, teams, and where 'camping' is not only tactically sound but a part of the dynamic of the game. The game takes place about 1,000 years in the 'Starsiege' future.
Mankind is in the grips of war for territory in the vast reaches of space.
But this war isn't made for the use of massive 'Hercs'. No, it's up close and personal. At its most basic, this game is more of a 3D action shooter, but played primarily in 3rd person, and is geared to be played in multiplayer. The game will ship with single player missions, but those missions will be crafted to provide adequate practice for the multiplayer tactics that will be the game's main focus.
