Can Anyone Help With The Name Of This Game?

Quite a while back I had an FPS game on the PC which I spent countless hours playing. I wondered if any of you can say what it was called if I describe what I can remember?

It was a 3D game and this one level which stands out in my memory was capture the flag and the play area was divided into two halves by a large iron bridge. The enemy if I recall correctly were aliens and came at you on foot, with tanks and various flying vehicles.

Your 'team' would automatically head off to get the flag (even without you) and you would have to support them while they grab the flag from one of the enemy buildings and head off back over the bridge to your home building - or you could stay behind and defend your base.

You could jump in any of the vehicles or stay on foot.

I particularly remember going down a narrow alley behind my base's buildings to a spot overlooking the ravine the bridge ran across and spending hours sniping aliens as they ran over the bridge. Other times I'd fly up to the ledges at the top of the bridge and sniping down at the aliens as they headed across the bridge to my side.

You could also go down the slope and under the bridge and there would be weapons, ammo and power-ups you could grab as well as enemy hovercraft-type vehicles you would have to keep out of the way of.

While this is all happening, the NPC was trying to nick your flag.

Anyone else remember what this game might have been please?

I can't for the life of me remember any of the other levels at all...

Thanks - but no it's not that as I've never owned any version of it.

When someone suggests the right game I'll know it straight away... :)

Quote: Enemy Territory: Quake Wars

Nope - never bought that one.


Quote: If it had jet packs - Tribes or T2

I never had Tribes, but I bought Tribes II when it came out. I know it's not T2 because I came across the game rummaging through my old games box a few weeks ago and still have it installed on my machine.

Just like the old days though I still can't get past the stage where Victoria has to past the underground tests. The Speed test and the one where you have to put the ball in the targets always screw me. And the only trainer I could find recently bombs the game out when you press a key. Bummer! :)

Quote: Maybe one of the later unreal tournaments? 2004 or UT3

Hmmm... maybe. I'm sure I've got one of those in my old games box, but not sure which. Time for another rummage methinks...

Actually, I'm pretty sure (but not 100% certain) that the game I'm talking about didn't use jetpacks and you had to use a small flying vehicle to get to the top of the bridge - then jump out.

The bridge itself had a concrete barrier running down the centre for the length of it and there were doors alongside most of it leading to rooms up and down slopes.

Dunno if that's any help.

Thanks for the suggestions though and if it turns out to be one of the UT's I'll let you know.

Cheers.

sound slike UT3 or 2004, though I'm not sure if I recall alien swarms.


been so long since I've played it, but it very much sounds like capture the flag in UT.


Failing that, then it has to be Top Gun: Xenu's Revenge.
