Allegiance. What happened with the community is quite interesting. I wonder if we could learn from it. The game was/is epic. Star Sector. Also known as Star Farer. Quite interesting, the dev has done a solid work at making everything interesting and ironing out anything that isn't. Spring Engine Total Annihilation re-made by fans. Started as a 3D viewer for Total Annihilation. Best online RTS I have ever played.

"You lizards need to learn that I'm a lot scarier than you are" is such a raw fucking line

Star Wars is dark and gritty outside of the movies. If you want a good example please watch Clone Wars. It may be a "kids" show but they got away with a lot for their restrictions. It honestly shows probably the most brutal depiction of Star Wars (within canon currently so I'm not counting Star Wars Legends) there is.

I always liked Fixer. His no-nonsense, by-the-books attitude makes him a great trope character to round out of the cast. even if he isn't as edgy as Sev or as funny as Scorch i think he brings the whole team together in a way that a more colorful character couldn't. the most emotion he ever shows is when he's sneering at the "filthy bug vermin". I especially like that he always uses the numbers to address his team instead of using the nicknames. You're not "Boss" to him, you're 38. Its a nice touch.

[@PANCAKEMINEZZ]

The game would not be the same with any of Delta removed or changed. While Scorch was always and always will be my favorite, Fixer helps balance everything out perfectly. While Sev and Scorch are the jokers of the team (the Haggard and Sweetwater equivalence from Bad Company 2), Fixer and Boss are the serious ones (the Marlow and Sarge). Neither are devoid of personality but just keep everything in check. If the team was made up of all Scorch and Sev types of characters, the game wouldn't be nearly as good, and same vice versa.

An AngrryWalrus Don't be so quick to deride it. Many sci-fi and fantasy series go out of their way to do this, from Star Wars' Aurebesh alphabet and Star Trek Klingonese to the tongues of Elves, Dwarves and Orcs in LotR. It helps add an extra layer of authenticity to the setting, as people subconsciously recognize the structure and cadence of a proper language, even if they can't understand what's being said.

Scorch is slightly faster than any other commando when arming explosives, Fixer slices terminals/doors faster as well, and Sev goes for headshots when you have him in a sniping position.

[@petervitkov361]

To be fair, I wish it did more with that. You have the first level in the ship, which is some horror movie stuff, but all you fight are scavenger droids. Then the setting becomes brighter and you fight Trandoshans in a more of an action movie style. There's the occasional horror moment or two (like when you jump down the hatch and find yourself in a dump site surrounded by the bodies of clone troopers), but the overall vibe is an action one, so the first level teases you with some horror and then it never delivers more than that. I wish there was more of that tone that we got from the first Assault Ship level, but amplified. Maybe a jumpscare, some stuff that really makes your hair stand up.

As a kid, I could never get past that one bridge on Geonosis that you need to clear rubble from while enemies keep spawning. Considering what happens on the Arquitens, that’s probably a good thing.

It's one of better FPS in Star Wars games. It's in desprate need for Remastered edition. Also, THE SEQUEL was in development, Called "SW:Empire Commando" but was canceled,sadly.

[@95DarkFire]

7:42 Ironically, in the novels (yes, there was a novel series made for this game). Delta sqaud is considered special because they have been together since birth, trained together and didn't loose anyone. Unlike other Commando squads who were formed from survivors.

Man, I love those novels. They do whack Star Wars lore up the head a few times, but the look into Mandos and the commandos was just the best thing to me as a kid. Did a good job of showing that the Jedi aren't always the best too.

[@Crazyninja30]

I caanot teel you how many times i've heard Scorch say "Charge set, clear!" Loved this growing up.

[@GunNutproductionsOG]

I was so pissed that it ended the way it did and I'm guilty pissed that force unleashed got a sequel but republic commando got some BS modle games. Its funny how Halo 5 really tried to do what republic commando did but the friendly AI was was too stupid to take orders and the squad commands were just the equivalent of pointing and preying to god they knew what go here ment. Unlike republic commando the squad AI wouldnt hold positions and who always follow and were practically useless on heroic or legendary. As bad as the prequels were I grew up on the games lucasarts were making back in the day from, Starfighter, Clone Wars, Galactic Battlegrounds, Battlefront, and hell even Obi Wan was pretty fun

[@kaspartambur]

This is a game I come back to every 2-5 years. I don't know why it is so replayable. Probably because of the characters, movie-eque presentation with 0 pre-rendered cutscenes. Probably because it's sometimes scary, leaves you alone and then gives you back "your borthers", which feels so good. I wish they made this, as much as possible with the same formula, again - maybe continuing on giving us the fate of the brothers.

[@Rocky-oq9cy]

The squad really made this game amazing for me. I think the cast of characters in a game are extremely important, as they are who you spend all your time with. In this game, they really managed to give all the squad mates likable personalities. When they are giving each other a bit of banter it seems genuine, like they are really squad mates that have grown close over time, even if that just means they crack jokes at each other's expense.

[@CameronHimlie]

This game is honestly the highlight of my childhood. I bought it again on steam recently and I am still in awe of how well written the characters are. Everything in this game is very well done and I get the nostalgia chills every time I hear the viking choir

[@NoiseMarines]

They got their idea from the nanomeds in Butcher Bay, which in turn, got its idea from the health stations in Half Life.

[@jamesgeorge7579]

I love the main theme for this game, it was made in that weird era of fps's before the modern war shooters but after the fast paced arena shooters where fps's were filled with gregorian chanting. The lyrics to the song are actually in mandalorien.

[@lc8840]

[@AsianTheDomination]

You just called a republic ship a star destroyer. And the music is in mandalorian

[@whitepuma968]

Star Destroyer is a type of ship, like Corvette and Frigate are. The Venator-class is a Star Destroyer aswell for example. The Acclamator is afaik too small to count as Star Destroyer though.:)

[@cr128]

Technically a Star Destroyer is a class of ship, that includes many different ships, including the Republic's Venators. However this ship is an Acclamator class assault ship, which I think is too small to be classified as a star destroyer.

[@AsianTheDomination]

Alright then, my mistake

[@shadowslayer205]

The reason the Acclamator is not a Star Destroyer is because it was manufactured by Rothana Heavy Engineering, and Star Destroyers are manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards.

[@Vedlom]

Rev BladeZ Do note that there's a Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruiser around.

Heard it was Lucas that felt the commandos needed to have more distinct personalities, which ended up being a good change from the earlier more cold stoic tone.

[@kOstA8pSychO]

For whatever bad bugs this game may hunt it is still one of the best games for me and definitely the best shooter game where the NPC squad mates are actually useful. No other game came any closer to this. Of course I played swat 4 and rainbow six, but in this I have never felt like they are disposable. I could rely on my squad mates to resolve the situation or to secure the area and then revive me. No other game did really offered me this option.

[@Girder3]

I remember playing the PC port a few years back, and my main gripes were a lack of enemy and level variety. A shame that it never got a sequel in order to improve on what was a pretty decent foundation.

[@parkerdixon-word6295]

Fun fact, this game was released alongside a series of novels by author Karen Traviss. The first book "Star Wars Republic Commando: Hard Contact" is a really solid standalone Star Wars book, but the rest of the series spends a lot of time trying to preach at you that the Mandolorians, the warrior culture that trained the Commandos, as just the best about everything, and the Jedi suck ass, which is a pretty weird take for a Star Wars novel, presumably marketing towards people who think Space Wizards are fun. The later books have their strengths- their depiction of Order 66 is just as brutal as you might expect, and has a few good emotional gutt punches in store, but they're held back by an author who clearly follows the Tom Clancy school of putting their opinions on the page.
