For those that enjoy vehicle shooters. It'll be an MMO, cooperative, and single player. Love it.

Interesting concept.

Holy **** it's Descent.

Hmm, worth keeping an eye on i'd say.

Holy **** it's Descent.

ha That's what I was thinking.

Good ol' Descent Maximum...

 

[Murphy]

Ooooh... nice. Has the potential to be great.

Jet packs would be better, especially if you could climb on the walls to place mines or snipe nicely, but would then also be an easy target.

In the meantime, play this:

It's full of goodness and looks pretty nice as well (in a nostalgic way of course). You will need the original wad-files though. Only here they are called hog or ham.

DO WANT. Descent is half the reason I got addicted to PC shooters in the first place.

Here's hoping:

YouTube - Descent 3 - Blackshark Missile

I'm amazingly stoked for this. Descent was basically the game that popped my PC gaming cherry all those years ago. Also: this game will likely be cross-platform with Xbox!

For the moment, anybody interested in playing some old school Descent multiplayer, please let me know!
