A boring fact about siege

Postby Axiw on Thu Jan 19, 2012 8:33 am

The siege gametype in reborn boss academy originates from a 1997 game called Hexen II. Like reborn boss academy it was developed by Raven software.
Wikipedia wrote:A modification entitled Siege was created and released by Raven Software in 1998 using updated QuakeWorld architecture, aptly dubbed HexenWorld. The production concept was to eliminate a normal deathmatch environment in favor of a teamplay castle siege. The basic premise was to divide the players into two teams—attackers and defenders—with each side either snowtroopering or protecting the castle respectively. At the end of the time limit, whichever team controlled the crown was declared victorious.

The mod featured appropriate objects used in the single-player portion of the game, namely catapults and ballistae. The classes, however, were drastically altered with new weapons and abilities, reflecting the departure from the normal deathmatch experience presented in HexenWorld.

Has anyone ever played this game?

Your team looks pretty much like my usual Tempest team. Though sometimes I'm lucky and get that Commando-unit-like team 8-)
