amazing game. the commander POV is awesome and easy to get used to. and when you get tired of that, or just dont want to have that much responsibility, you can leave the bunker and jump into the fray. a thoroughly awesome game

Amazing FPS! Feels like an infantry-only source version of Battlefield 2142. The only current problem is the small playbase, but other than that, this is a great example of a game done right!

no ones ever online.

You see, the problem with the multiplayer RTS/FPS genre is a lot of people ignore the commander. That's no fun.

Fun game, great concept.
No Oceania servers anymore.

This gamed sucked. Why? Well no player base so half the time i played it was waiting. It never made me feel good about playing it like you know when you play a game where it makes you excited or sitting on the edge of your seat, it never will do that. I seem mad beacuse these games make me frustrated how i see and play free to play games much better than this and this game cost money ? why. Do not buy it go to 7/11 and buy cigeretes, that would be much better than playing this game.

I've been playing this game for a little over 3 years now and have finally decided to write a review... Most games- if you play them long enough- get boring and tiresome. The people I play with weekly and most of the time daily, have played totals of thousands of hours and yet continue to play weekly/daily. This is because there really can't ever be a round in ND thats the same as another. Each team won't ever be exactly the same, the commanders won't usually be the same, and how the players play in each map will always be different so that you really aren't just going through the motions after hours and hours of gameplay. I know that myself and at least 100-150 other dedicated core players feel the same way. The other reviews of this game that I see are from people who really havent played it all that much and have just taken their first look FPS and RTS aspects. A lot of what they say is correct.. There are definitely areas of ND that need work, and since theres no real developer working on it not much can change.

However, even though there is no actual developer, ND is constantly being improved and tweaked to make gameplay better. This is because of server managers and testers in the community itself who have fixed glitches, improved team balancing, made mods, and have organized ND soooooo much in the past 2 years. Nuclear Dawn was on a downswing and playercounts were at an all time low, but now that there are scheduled events, groups, and stats, things are getting better fast!

So to people who say Nuclear Dawn is dying: It WAS dying, now its only getting better little by little. I highly recommend this game and encourage people to give it a fair chance. Join the group "ND Battles" for scheduled formal and casual events. I truly love this game and will never stop playing it!

This game deserves much more attention than it's getting. It's an amazing concept, and it works really well. It has all of the aspects of the best FPS games, like requiring a balance of different classes (not everyone can run and gun) and communication to win. Matches can completely change over just a few minutes. It's got incredible potential if they make another and perhaps polish it, but I would definitely support this game. Not very expensive for a lot of potential play time.

I woke up this morning alive. I suited up in my Consortium regulation support medic armor and headed out from base. Word had come down from the brass that morning that some filthy Empire scum had set up camp in the north end of the ruins, and were trying to take control of several key resource deposits. Another beautiful day in the Consortium!

For maybe 30 seconds, everybody wildly fired at each other to practice their aim. Like clockwork, before every battle, we fought each other. A couple died in the melee, only to return to the class selection menu. They were good men. They were good soldiers.

We set out from base towards the primary objective immediately. As we approached the dilapidated building, a monument to Golden Age human engineering, it was quiet. I watched our six - just so I could sneak some hypospray for myself before the storm. There's nothing quite like a hit of high quality government issue painkillers right before a gunfight, all on the Consortium's dollar.

As we rounded the last corner out into the courtyard where our target lay, I saw an all too familiar sight. A swarm of rockets whizzed down the hallway. Fortunately, my nano skin hadn't worn off yet and I was preserved from the rocket blast. My squad, however, was none so lucky, buried underneath a pile of rubble. And then I heard them - the Empire knew of our attack, and had set an embush! Surly Russian voices cried out what I had come to understand as "attack!", and I set off running back the way I came. I took another hypospray just to be ready for anything.

I ran back outside, and took a full shotgun blast to the face from a crafty assault trooper who managed to get behind me! Broken and battered, I lifted my machine gun and let out a blast at his head and killed him. Okay, okay, I know it's unbelievable, but that nanoskin is good stuff for guys like us. As I scanned the perimeter, I saw them - the rocket trails of Consortium exo troopers laying siege at the far end of the primary structure. Wounded, I ran along the walls of the buildings in the street until I could rendezvous with the big guns.

Back behind my own lines, I threw a medkit on the floor which somehow managed to heal all our wounds just by laying there.

It was a good day.

Recommend? Yes. It is a really good game. Solid with no bugs. If you are into the genre of FPS/RTS go for it.
The problem? Depending on where you are, you will not find servers at all. If you found them, the level between players is to big to have fun...
Why I like it? Because you can play with friends via LAN. Yep, get a good group of friends and you can rock it!
If you are a loner, this is not a game for you.
