This game was an attempt at true love from developer labor. Frank Klepacki put his soul into almost every sound he and his coworkers made. Divine Intervention lives rent free in my head the second I think of thinking of this game. Not to mention the color palette and the grim atmosphere of the apocalypse. PLUS You can literally step on enemy structures as a weapon as the Hierarchy! In other words, to me, this game is life, BRING IT BACK.
I'm the owner and Creator of the ONLY UAW community Discord server with over 2000 members. And we would love to see this game back on steam, GFWL removed and better modding support! On behalf of our community we cant thank-you all enough for those that have voted.

I played this game for a bit just before going for a job interview, to reduce my stress level. I didn't wind up getting the job, but it's an indelible memory I have of this game.

A great game from the Dark Ages of Strategy games. Seriously this game drips with personality, each faction is different, the story is interesting. I mean the creators really put work into this and I would love to play it again, easily.
It was a special game for me, unique factions, amazing music and I played it on both the 360 and on PC. It was one of the few games on the now defunct Games for Windows Live that stuck with me. The game didn't receive the balance that the community could have probably given it for it to last long term, but it had so much spirit. This game somehow worms its way into my head when I think of older RTS titles I sank an obscene amount of time into.

This game is special. Factions are unique. Music is fantastic. In terms of history this game should be made possible to play by new players, so they can experience nice story, rich gameplay.
I played this on the Xbox 360 back in the day and it was my introduction to the RTS genre as a kid. I managed to snag a copy recently and it’s exactly as I remembered: I straight up good ol RTS game with great factions, music, and gameplay.
It's a real shame this was stuck with Games For Windows Live - an online service which violently opposed letting you play online - as it is a rock-solid, old-fashioned RTS livened up by the three wildly different alien races trading shots on Earth while the tiny humans could only sit back and watch. The zippy Novus robots and Stargate-ish Masari were good fun to play as, but the Hierarchy and their massive walking crab-tank factories were *immensely* satisfying.

One of the og rts that sadly didnt make it long term. With music similar to c&c and their macro but with the most original factions ever was unbalance? sure, was fun? hell yeah
It is a completely atypical RTS, Sure there are games that have factions that are different, but generally they are still bound to similar elements. Base Building for example. One factions bases WALK! I dont mean the buildings can move i mean the entire base walks around, you build stuff into the sides of it for unit production and weapons. It has an involved storyline, its big vs small, its got single player, a planet conquering mode, robots, AZTEC MAGIC! Its amazing and the only thing that killed it is it was part of Games For Windows Live, a service that ate every game that was put on it, and forced always online that harmed everything. People have made mods for this game, a community supported it through the dark times. Save it for them and others that never go the chance to experience this!

Dune 2000
Dune 2000Real-time strategy taking place in Frank Herbert's "Dune" universe. The game is a remake of a classic RTS game "Dune 2". Player can play as a commander of one of three different factions: Harkonnen, Atreides or Ordos. Do you like the feeling you get when you have won over someone? If it was something that we had really worked hard, then the fell of victory is something precious and incalculable. The game Dune 2000 could help in giving your competitive spirit a new edge. It is an updated version of the Dune II. In this game the player would have to fight for an interesting thing; the control of the spices in the galaxy. The spices control could make you the most powerful there. The player has to choose to be one of the three houses first: Atreides, Harkonnen, or Ordos. Each house has its own vice and virtue and the right selection could give the player right start to the game but he could learn as well as, later in the game with time. Once you choose a side, you to win the King’s challenge of producing the most amount of spice. It won’t be as easy as it sounds. For getting the control of the spices, the player has to fight over the other two houses by all means. Dune 2000 is done with enough of stunt and live-in scenes to pep up the theme and there is a soothing sound score to add to the overall theme. It’s a game based on the Dune series book of Frank Herbert and gives the player a real pleasure of both combat and competition.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
