StarSiege: 3 Minotaur Fight

The first mission of the Human campaign is "Vulture Duty," where you, as a rebel rookie, destroy a downed arms transport and the two guard HERCs protecting it. The guards are without shields and carry very weak weapons.

However, if you wait around for a few minutes, the rescue party arrives, along with their escorts. The escorts have the same weight as you, outnumber you, and out-gun you. It's a tough fight for the limited technology available on the first mission.

I always get unlucky and the SCap kills my shield. But I've defeated those three with Heavy Lasers before.

@ClaireLytton Nice work!

I used to play earth siege 2... this looks very familiar.

[starsiegeplayer]

@ThePostaldud3 Yes. Starsiege is a sequel to EarthSiege 2, so the visual styles are similar, although there's some significant differences in gameplay.

Okay, I used to play this game when I was younger and forgot what it was called and went on an epic hunt for it, only found out what it was today, will it work on windows 7 ultimate? And is there anyway I can make the graphics look... good? Is there a newer game with... well basically the same controls and everything? I loved this game

[starsiegeplayer]

@aduku the mercenaries website has instructions on making Starsiege work with Windows 7. To make the graphics look good, you need a decent openGL-capable graphics card. There hasn't been a newer game like it :(

Reminds me of the diablo trio you would run into in Earthsiege 2 if you got too close to certain corners of the map.

@aduku are you crazy lol; there's no way to improve the graphics of a game engine made in 1998! O_O

I get the feeling I like mech warrior more.

This was one of the first games I ever played. I was young when it came out, and I remember I used to play online with a couple of mates for several years. I just began revisiting it...graphics aside, this game is easily as good as many games out now.
