Well, Earthsiege is the name of the universe. Much like Battletech is the name of the Universe. So technically CyberStorm is an Earthseige game, and Mechwarrior is a Battletech game.

But to your point, there is a turn based Earthsiege game. I assume that is what he was referencing; the universe as a whole.

i thought the name of the universe was metaltech or something like that. Not to mention the change the name from earthseige to starseige at one point and not earthsiege:starseige IIRC and then it led to starseige:tribes and then just tribes. So if anything, unless i am mistake the name of the universe is not earthseige and if anything points more to starseige being the name of the universe seeing as the events of starsiege ties into multiple games including the tribes universe.

It's a franchise named after a videogame; battletech is a bit different.

Metaltech was the name of the first Earthsiege game.

Metaltech: Earthseige
Earthsiege 2
MissionForce: CyberStorm
Starsiege
Starsiege: Tribes
Tribes 2
(the rest don't count)

I've probably put 5,000 hours into Starsiege since 2000. I played a ton of it back in the day.
Starsiege takes place in the Earthsiege universe, but way later in the future. You fight on other planets, hence the name. Much like Starlancer and Freelancer, same universe, different time.

i still think starseige is the proper name for the unvierse, seeing as the whole starseige event ties into the tribes games. Also IDK about you, but i was sad that HiRez abandoned tribes ascend and given up on the tribes universe mmo.

i think

"I think"

But it's not, it's the Earthsiege Universe.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaltech:_Earthsiege

During Starsiege, you defend a ship called "The Arc", which eventually launches into space incase you can't win against the Cybrids.
Tribes is the ancestors of the survivers of that ship, all the teams are named after Starsiege references (at least at one point).

I missed CyberStorm 2: Corporate Wars

hmm, i must have either misremembered the plot or else got it mixed up, but did not starseige refer to the earth calling back all their military might, leaving their colonies undefended to prepare for a attack by the Cybrids?

No, it starts with a rebellion of the colonies against the Empire (Earth). The cybrids show up in the middle of the story.

but wasn't the whole reason why the colonies rebelled because the earth empire left them all defenseless to protect themselves?

Really wish Missionforce Cyberstorm would get a release on GoG. That game actually was heaps of fun. One of the better turn based games of the time in fact.

My first Battletech style game was a weird maze navigation game... a Madcats Vs. Vulture in a blue pacman maze

I remember that shareware game fondly, if only because it's the 1st game I did LAN play with. My buddy and I would connect our PCs together with a NULL modem cable and play it. My best memory is both of us running out of ammo and my Madcat head butting my buddies mech to death. :) Wish I could remember the name - might go looking for it so I can play it in Dosbox 1 more time.

Joke aside; with what this game will due to raise the awareness of this genre, another Earthsiege game may very well be marketable.

Heh, my first LAN game was Clonk 3 Radikal

kinda, the rebellion started because the Empire was defending Earth with all of the resources and leaving them with nothing. I believe the Emperor himself was actually 400 years old and kept alive artificially.

I don't think the Cybrids had actually attacked yet, they were building up their army.

well i am more willing to trust you. You played the game longer than I have. Now to see if i can get the old tribes game to work, seeing as hi rez is giving them away for free.

Pretty sure it just installs and runs. Shouldn't be much involved.
Finding a new master server might be tricky. The main one has been down since like 2003, when Dynamix fell.
They are all free

Weren’t they all released for free a few years back?

Not Cyberstorm, but it's really not hard to find.

wasnt earthsiege made by one of the cocreaters of mechwarrior/battletech. I dont remember if it was the one who developed the video games or tabletop but he wanted to do his own thing and did metaltech.
