Dark Reign 2 is a real-time strategy game developed by Pandemic Studios, and first published by Activision on June 30, 2000. It is the sequel to Dark Reign: The Future of War, though developed by a different studio, and taking place before it.
The game is an early 3D real-time strategy game. Visually distinct from its predecessor, Dark Reign 2 also comes with a number of gameplay changes. Taelon is the game's only resource, with power now being provided by structures. Naval combat has been added, while other features, such as structure upgrades, carried over.
Dark Reign 2 is set before the events of Dark Reign: The Future of War, and set on a devastated future Earth in the 26th century. The rich and powerful dwell in luxurious domes, whereas the masses live in the Sprawl, and urban wasteland. The Jovian Detection Authority keeps the rich safe, and is opposed by a resistance movement known as the Sprawlers.
The JDA discovers that Earth is soon going to be destroyed entirely, and seeks to recover artefacts left behind by Alpheus Togra, a scientist, in an attempt to leave the planet via an interstellar portal. The Sprawlers attempt to prevent the JDA from escaping, and use the portal for themselves.
Dark Reign 2 receives largely positive reviews and was praised for its visuals, but underperformed commercially. CNET reported that the game had sold less than 10,000 copies in the United States in the first three months after its release. Since Dark Reign 2, the series has not received further entries.
Uh so I'll admit I'm a bit curious at to weither these two campaihns, rumbler and GDA are mutually exclusive or take place at the same time. I mean they seem mostly compelmentary.
But, given we know both faction have to survive to become the imperium and the freedom force in the first game yet the last GDA campaign had you blow up the gnerator behind you so no one can follow through the portal, makes me wonder how the last sprawler mission will justify them getting out of earth.
We know that both factions escape Earth, unless the resistance forces in DR1 are former JDA people.
What's with the scantaly clad, long legged sniper woman? Is that by design, game engine limitations or both?
One imagine by design, at least the scantily clad part.
The overly long legs may be partly due to engine limitation because when you don't have a lot of polys to work with you kinda have to exagerate features so they are regonizable, especialy oin small models meant to be seen from high above most of the time.
@s.m.2523 Yeah. I was thinking just that. The long legs are a limitation of the game. While being scantily clad is by choice.
