It's not an Infantry website.
HG had a better website.
The official IZone of HG was an INF website.
THAT THING, this mockery defilment is NOT an INF website. |
Sony got a hold of Infantry and made it P2P.
As well, to play Infantry you MUST use the Station LaunchPad (see: http://infantry.station.sony.com/en/download.jsp).
Also, on a side note, Sony owns a game that they built into the LaunchPad as well called Cosmic Rift which is a spoof of Continuum (see: http://cosmicrift.station.sony.com/screenshots.jsp).
According to Wikipedia (see: http://www.answers.com/topic/infantry-computer-game) wrote: | Around 1996, now-defunct Virgin Interactive Entertainment (VIE) began to develop a game called SubSpace. While very successful, it became a burden in various ways and was eventually dropped by VIE. Some of the developers of SubSpace, banded together as the Harmless Games company, continued further development of the game model. The project was renamed Infantry. The game was developed and gained relative popularity. GameFan (the parent company of Brainscan Development) went bankrupt and hadn't paid its employees in months. The lead designer of Infantry, Rod (Rodvik) Humble, was offered a job with Sony Online Entertainment (http://www.station.sony.com/en/) (SOE) and left Harmless Games a few months into these tough times. Larry J. Cordner (LJC) also found another job, however, stayed with the development team until shortly after Harmless Games was bought by another company. Harmless Games, and its sole game Infantry, was bought by Sony Online Entertainment (http://www.station.sony.com/en/) (SOE) from Brainscan Entertainment for an undisclosed sum. Two of Infantry's developers, Jeff Petersen (programmer) and Jerimy Weeks (Artist and Zone designer) were hired by SOE to continue development of the game. Some time later, SOE had them develop Cosmic Rift (http://cosmicrift.com/) (CR), an offshoot of Infantry meant to rival the now player-run SubSpace. CR was a relative failure, compared to Infantry and Continuum. In October 2001, Petersen was transferred to EverQuest development and Weeks was laid off. Game development stagnated. In May 2002, SOE rehired Weeks and introduced a monthly $6.95 pay-to-play plan for SOE's three small action games: Infantry, CR and Tanarus (http://tanarus.station.sony.com/main.jsp). |

For your utter newbishness and lack of a clue, combined with presenting half-faulty facts that I known since years ago, I am to smack you down with the 18-inch hammer'o'truth.
Unfortunately, I'm bussy leveling my human mage in WoW, so you'll have to wait. |

Smack me down or smack down the evidence I have provided?
And WoW sucks, it is P2P. I would never pay money to play a game. |

Donk, So you're saying you would never pay to play a game? That means going out and buying say, Command & Conquer, (which is an awesome game...) Your still going to pay for it. Unless You get it free....... but w/e  _________________ Unknown Webmaster, Confused Game Player |

A friend of mine was in good relationships with the owners of AO, he was very valued as a beta tester and player that he was given GM.
Even they offered him a free account, he refused and kept paying, he liked them guys and believed they're really honest bunch of people who deserve the money (unlike say, sony or nexon and etc.).
They offered him same terms (GM+free acc) for AO 2 or the expansion or whatever it was (I didn't play AO) as well.
I bought C&C 2 : red alert, diablo, diablo 2, starcraft and many more, I don't regret it.
Buying games is a priviledge and like "bringing home the bacon" it makes me feel proud (granted, most of these were gained by parental money since I yet to have had a job at the time and all, but still).
If I could afford it, I would own any game I play.
I wish I had a SS box...
I'm also missing x-com 3 to make my collection complete... |
