I have been playing savage 2 and I am starting to come round to enjoying it. I had a game last night and noticed I am geting alot better, its a very twitche based game, more melee than FPS, even though thats how it is advertised. Most of the ranged weapons don't do huge amounts of damage, they are more for softening up your targets, its the melee that does the damage but the system isn't easy to get ahold of to start with. There are 3 mechanisms that go into it, the attack, the block and the intercept.
The block beats the attack and stuns the attacker, the intercept beats the block and stuns the blocker and the attack beats the intercept and stuns the attacker. Its hard to beart multiple ppl at once due to this but possible, especially if you have a harder unit. There are 5 unit types per side and 2 Hellborne units that can be accessed as well as 12 different items and some persistant items that you can use. Each unit has different weapons and abilities that need to be researched by the commander ... well lets say there is alot more to it than the standard FPS type game and that you should buy it to see what can be done with some ingenuity
