Oh I remember this game. I loved piloting vehicles in this one. Eos crater was amazingly fun, I had so much fun building shit and watching people assault it. Bug hunts as well.
I tried fleet but never had enough people to get a legit game going; it was a good concept though.

Yeah, that has always been infantry's problem...getting games going. The AI was never enough to supplement gameplay in a meaninful way...but they may change soon.

I just tried this out of curiosity, and the controls are difficult! I guess I'm not used to it. And assigning weapons to buttons is confusing. I was playing in the zombie zone with a few other people and I couldn't figure out how to use the rpg. It said shift+control but it wouldn't fire every time I used it. And apparently you cant assign buttons to letters or numbers?? I tried it but every time I pressed the key it would go into the chat instead of firing the weapon.
I can see this being fun but the controls are difficult.

The opposite was usually the case: zones were always full so getting a spot was challenging. Game activity changes so much over time.

What you want to do first is hit ESC > OPTIONS > KEYBOARD SETTINGS > "Enter to type". This will make it so you can assign letter keys to weapons.
As for RPG, it is a stand and fire weapon (you have to stand still in order to fire it). You also want to set your strafe keys to something more user friendly, since the default key setups are pretty bad. Go to ESC > OPTIONS > KEYBOARD CONFIG, and at the top, you'll see the options for Strafe Left and Strafe Right. Set those to something comfortable (recommended z and x)

You must have played when it was populated. It is a struggle for zones to fill up and not fade after a few hours (except for ZZ which has AI)

Do people still play this? I'd be excited for a nice ol' game of Fleet! Also one thing I've also been curious about is to see if anyone has any of the old top 200 charts from specific zones -- mainly for nostalgia's sake.

ahhhhhhhhh, fleet. That was cool

I LOVED this game, especially before Sony got ahold of it and made it silly... I got all excited when I saw this thread and then I clicked the website's page and the server list shows like... no one playing.
Anyone remember when the original game was out they'd have those weird experimental zones like the racing one? Haha, those were the days.
|
I used to play this sooo much, both the normal version and then the alien one that was released... god i've had a craving to play the infantry vs alien for awhile now is it still there? And how active is it? Got a craving to alt-strafe !!
|
omg, i was always craving to play this game again, but could never work the SOE installer.. how actively is the Twin Peaks map played? I pretty much only played TP, Chambert's Moon and I think it was ______ Arena (forgotten the name, but it involved leveling your character with different classes like psionics and such)
will definitely be playing this ASAP
|
Infantry seriously has the potential to be "big" again but it needs players to let everyone know its here and what its about. Anyone interested please don't be afraid to ask if you need help. I know there is a bit a of a learning curve but, its well worth it once you understand whats going on.
|
I think more people still play Subspace/Continuum, which is like Infantry in space, made by the same people. I never got into infantry though, stuck to Subspace back in the days.
|
Are there people that still play the game? I'm thinking about downloading it again.
|
Just as a bit of nostalgia
