Savage 2: A Tortured Soul (Win/Linux)
16/Jan/2008: S2 games announces the launch of
Savage 2: A Tortured Soul, the FPS/RTS/RPG hybrid sequel to
Savage 1 : The Battle for Newerth
The FULL RETAIL game is FREE to download.
This will offer players five hours of free ONLINE playtime.
After that a one-time fee of $29.99 will upgrade the game
to access unlimited online play. Also this edition will offer
offline single player tutorial, unlimited LAN play.
Savage 2 will NOT need a serial or payed account
for lan play or ofline tutorial mode. (Ideal for lan party gaming)
Savage 2: A Tortured Soul is a fast paced FPS/RTS multiplayer action title
that takes team based game play to another level.
Each match is a war for dominance where two teams of 5 to 17 players from
two factions, beast or humans, attempt to destroy each other. It will take more
than guns to finish the job. Players can choose from an array of units each with
ranged, melee, and special abilities. To close the deal and seal the enemy’s fate, players can take control of the ultimate siege units like the Behemoth or the
Battering Ram used to destroy enemy buildings or even resurrect a burning
demonic Hellbourne. For the more strategic player, each team has one
commander who overlooks the battlefield and manages construction, research,
and issues commands for strategic assaults.

Its interesting how Blizzard have now changed there tune.
StarCraft: Ghost was annouced in 2006 and was going to be console only
and a FPS instead of RTS (bad idea any FPS on the console)

Now they bring back a old classic , redone with recent graphics and new tcp support
It will be interesting how Starcraft 2 plans out , what specs you need
if they add co-op to the game and release a free standalone dedicated server
for isps and lanpartys to how a low ping server .
It would be nice to see a Linux edition of Starcraft 2 aswell
It will no doubt be a popular lan game and online with its clan matching support
Im sure that lanpartys will probly start playing Starcraft 1 and broadwars again
