What is the back story of Stargate Resistance?
The System Lords are mounting a massive assault across the galaxy, using
the Stargates to raid strong worlds of precious resources, or invade
those they believe they can enslave and control.
The humans of Stargate Command are the only organized resistance to this new threat. Like their foes, they use the Stargate to travel to alien worlds and defend them against the ravages of the System Lords.
When will it be released?
Stargate Resistance is set to be released in the first quarter of 2010.
Will there be multiple servers/shards?
Yes, Stargate Resistance will support numerous instances of each map so
that everyone can jump right into the action without ever having to
wait.
Will Stargate Resistance support peripherals?
For now Stargate Resistance can be played with keyboard and mouse only.
Support for game controllers and joysticks may be added later.
What is the game’s status?
Stargate Resistance is launched!
Will I see Thor or Ba’al?
Keep your eyes open, you never know.
What factions are in the game?
Players will be able to choose between the System Lords and Stargate Command, each with three unique classes.
What are the classes?
At launch we will have 6 classes; Soldier, Commando, and Scientist for
the SGC, and Jaffa, Ashrak, and Goa’uld for the System Lords. Each class
will have its own arsenal of unique weapons and items. Understanding
your enemy’s weakness is the first step to victory.
What weapons are currently in the game?
When you log in you can look forward to dispatching your enemies with:
Soon after launch, there will be additional weapons that can be unlocked by increasing your rank and gaining achievements.
How many game modes are there?
We have 3 game modes. Team Deathmatch, Capture the Tech, and Domination. Look for more shortly after release!
Can I go through the gate?
Yes! There will be times where you will use the Stargate to transport
yourself right into the middle of an ongoing battle. You never know what
type of chaos awaits you on the other side though, so always be
prepared for the unknown before you make the jump. You might even find
yourself making a jump into the SGC, though it may appear more hostile
than you last remember.
How does Galactic Domination work?
Galactic Domination represents the continual struggle for control over
the universe between the System Lords and the SGC. Each battle won
increases your faction’s domination over that particular planet. If the
battle is a landslide victory and you completely crush your opponents,
you will receive more domination points than if your team barely wins by
the skin of their teeth. If the balance in power for a particular
battlefield is tipped greatly in your favor then you will receive
bonuses while fighting there. If your faction manages to gain dominance
over several planets then you will receive even greater bonuses.
How do I control my character?
The controls work similar to other 3rd person shooters. You use the
arrow or WASD keys to move your character and you the mouse to aim. Left
clicking fires your weapon’s primary attack and right clicking will use
its secondary mode of attack if it has one. You can cycle through
weapons by using the 1-5 keys or by scrolling the mouse wheel. You can
also hold shift to sprint (briefly!) and hold ctrl to crouch which
increases your accuracy.
Will my combat strategy vary depending on the class I’m playing?
Yes. Stargate Resistance is a 3rd person shooter at its core, but the
diversity between our classes and the abilities they each possess makes
for gameplay that is not only fast-paced but also strategic. You will
need to consider the strengths of your character and the weaknesses of
your current target each time you enter combat. No two classes play the
same and players may find they prefer certain classes for certain game
modes. However, the more comfortable you become with each class the more
you will discover ways to use them effectively in any situation.
What is that green bar next to my health?
That is your energy. Energy is used to sprint and jump and the amount
available varies for each class. You will find energy to be extremely
useful in combat when trying to close distance on an enemy, avoid enemy
fire, or jump over obstacles. Energy replenishes quickly but knowing
when to spend it and when to save it can mean the difference between
life and death.
How many players can I play with at once?
Our maps allow for up to 16 people to play at once.
Is there friendly fire?
You won’t be able to hurt your teammates but you can hurt yourself with your explosive weapons if you’re not careful.
Will this game support VoIP?
We will not have integrated in-game voice chat so feel free to chat with
your friends by using whichever VoIP program you prefer. Also, there
will be text chat channels available so that you can type to all players
or just your team.
How do I raise my rank?
Specifics on how players will progress through the ranking system will
be released as we continue development. Every time you play the game you
will be contributing to increasing your rank and the higher your rank
the greater the rewards.
Will there be achievements?
Yes! There are several achievements for those looking to conquer every
challenge the game has to offer. There are general as well as
class-specific achievements and even achievements particular to certain
maps.
How will Stargate Resistance be different from Stargate Worlds?
While both games are set in the Stargate universe and involve Stargate
lore and canon, they are two completely different games in two
completely different genres. Stargate Worlds is an MMO (massively
multiplayer online game) whereas Stargate Resistance is an online 3rd
person shooter. Stargate Resistance offers a very different experience
to our fans than Stargate Worlds, but you can expect to come across some
familiar people and places.
Will I need an internet connection to play this game?
Yes. You will need a broadband connection to play.
