revenant4 Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 It's a very good game but I'm waiting for the retail game...if they plan on releasing one...but other wise it's a very good turn based strategy game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'ordos Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Isn't this THE version? (ok they're constantly adding new races and such, but isn't it supposed to be just what it is now?)It's a laser squad kinda game for multiplayer only (PBEM, hotseat,...) and I don't think they're going to change that...(free BTW, unless you want to play over internet (which you'll have to if you can't find anyone to play it near to you :crying: )) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamutas Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 I was always planning to play it. But I never wanted to pay for it. Bummer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j'ordos Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 just noticed this on the laser squad nemesis homepage"Will LSN become like the X-Com games?"The answer is yes, and more. We are currently developing an AI system for LSN which will be better and more sophisticated than the AI we developed for the X-Com games. We are also developing a massively multiplayer online strategy game based on LSN - something which X-Com lacked. We are also planning to build a more ambitious single player exeperience reminiscent of the first X-Com game (aka. UFO: Enemy Unknown) with a 'geoscape' world view, RPG elements and resource management. X-Com was just the beginning - LSN is the future.:happybanana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Now only if they said that Xcom was the future.Wait, nevermind! Xenocide is the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsoule Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Wow dudes ! this game seems to Rock so hard !!!!!!it'll be on my shop list as soon as it will be "one-player-playable" :happybanana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laitanyel Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Actually, this game ROX! I tried it with my friends and then with a FI (Field Instructor) and now I've subscribed. I play two-three matches a day, even at work. The PLay-by-Mail option is GREAT! And the new Web Interface Server is even better, you no longer need an EMAIL! Please, I do encourage you to try this game out, and IF you want a challenge, email me at laitanyel[at]hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsoule Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 ok, so the devellopers have planned to make a "one player" option ?Because, currently the game is only a play-by-mail pay-by-month ?there is no geoscape-building-research-production like in the real XCOM ?

j'ordos Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 nope, not yet. Currently it's a modern version of the original laser squad, like the name implies . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheaTastic87 Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 WHOAH HOLY :o :: :wink: ... This game looks awsome, I'm guessing its just a massive war between aliens(with egg shaped queens ) and humans? Anywho it still looks awsome, I just downloaded the trial version and now I'm gonna check it out, oh and if anyone has played ufo2000, do you think this or ufo2000 is better?

Guest alex the greater Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 great game but thay charge by mounth for multiply (what if i want to use my own server to hoast a game insted of paying for thare servers) but outherwhise it is a great game it has a perfict tbs interfaceits really a rts but it pauses evry 10 seconds and gives you a chance to give orders so evrybody takes theare turn at the same time unfortinitly it doesint have much depth like xcom did (no invintorys just defrent units whith defrent weppons) i think xenocide should have a battlescape interface simalar to LSN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailfire22 Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 (edited) WHOAH HOLY :o :: :wink: ...

Anywho it still looks awsome, I just downloaded the trial version and now I'm gonna check it out, oh and if anyone has played ufo2000, do you think this or ufo2000 is better? Depends. I've played some trial LSN and it seems more complicated than UFO2000. UFO is more like the original X-COM and has a pretty good following on the server (someone is always on usually). Plus you don't have to pay (something that I always hate ). Of course LSN does look pretty nice and it is really fun so....... it's a toss up. They are both good games and it really depends on what kind of gamer you are. People who like the old X-COM and its simple combat commands will love X-COM while those who love Micro-ing will drool over LSN. Thank God I'm both Edited September 23, 2004 by Hailfire22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eagle of Fire Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 That game is the best multiplayer game I ever played on the internet. You swear because you have to pay to play? C'mon, if you can't manage to find 50$ for one complete year (no, there is no "monthly" fees) then you don't deserve playing such a good game. The most common argument I seem to hear from Xcom fans when they try LSN is "man, you can't even crouch! How can that game even be interesting?" Answer is simple: game would not be interesting to play if that option was implemented. Same thing for a GeoScape or research or whatever. Simplicity and a heavy dose of strategy is what make this game great. I like to compare LSN to chess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Maniac Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Yeah, but heck--those repetitive screaming death sounds can drive a person insane, though! Erm, other than that, it's quite fun. It ain't X-Com, but it's good enough to look into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbes Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Just had my first game of Laser Squad Nemesis today. That was good I am definitly going to get the full version and try it out for a month. It is a little hard to compare it with UFO2000 because the playing takes place like Apocalypse real time mode. The commands seemed to allow a lot more tactical options than it, although they are harder to master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I have the demo right now but around December I'm gonna buy the full version and subscribe for a year. My favorite race so far would be the machines. You can't play them but I've read that they are slow but heavily armed and armored. Perfect for my playing style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raar Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I like the Greys, they have energy shields and theoretically unlimited ammo. Their energy weapons share energy with the shields so that can really limit their usefulness in open combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
