ADG Episode 33 - EarthSiege
345Episode Originally Released: January 29th, 2011
------------------------------------------
The developers learned from making the original MechWarrior what worked with their game and what didn't, but they also didn't have the MechWarrior license anymore, so they took all the things that did work and compiled them together into their own franchise, resulting in the "MetalTech" game universe and ultimately this game, EarthSiege.
This is also the episode that originally caught the attention of everyone's favourite Lazy Game Reviewer and put me under his radar! Ironically, not long after his 100th video where he said he wasn't going to do stuff like that. ;D

Additional Information and Corrections:
* Almost all of the Earthsiege and Starsiege games are now freeware! You can obtain them from here: http://www.tribesuniverse.com
* For quite some time, I hadn't the vaguest idea what that sound was in the background when I was talking about the Raptor HERC, which sounds almost like an outdated telephone. Turns out, since I was using my camera to record audio, those noises were actually internal noises from the optical assembly. Kinda glad I don't use that thing for recording audio anymore when I don't have to...
* One feature I neglected to mention because I don't recommend using it is called ATT, Automatic Target Tracking, which automatically twists your torso position to aim directly at your selected target. It's actually fairly useful against flyers, but against enemy HERCs it will always lock onto the torso of the HERC so you can destroy them, and doesn't allow for the accuracy necessary to disable a HERC instead. Destroying a HERC instead of disabling it results in minimal salvage and doesn't get you any extra weapons.
