"The Greatest Game You Never Played"

This game is the absolute BOMB. It's a 3D first person cockpit online 58 player real time strategy space combat game (phew!). It is more fun than ANY game I have ever played. It is truly ground breaking and Microsoft had quite a true hit on their hands. The game is now completely free and controlled by the player community who still develop for it. 6 factions total now with more on the way! I may have tons of other PC games and all the consoles but I still play this game the most because nothing else even comes close. Check out http://www.allegiancehq.org/ to see the latest on what is happening with this game!

The worst Online game!!

This game stinks so bad they dropped the $10.00 monthly fee. It was a very boring game and their are hardly any other players. Don't waste your money or time on this one... trust me.

well, it is actually the game i was wanted for so many years! usuall rts lacked team elements and well i hate playing with ai, flight sims and shooter usually lack a point, well you just shoot people just becuase it is the goal to shoot at them(well capture the flag is usually as dumb) but the 2 combined actually makes a perfect combo!

Best MMOPG Ever

This is a fantastic game, Here's a short list of the "genres" of game you could see in this one fantastic game

- FPS (Dogfighting, Turret gunning, bomber runs)
- Strategy (Resource management, tech paths, tech resources, minning for income, almost all characteristics of all Strategy Games)
- Simulation (actual space simulator, flying with a large variety of ships and class ships, (Interceptors, Figthers, Scouts, Capitol Ships (Cruiser's Frigades)
- MMOPG Massive, MultiPlayer , gameplay, where the "Team work" is the key to the game.

This is a game none like any other, It is extremely unique. It has amazing graphics, that will blow you away.

the one and one one downfall is the "Learning Curve" it's not a huge curve, the keys are basic as any other game (learning getting used to them) the game is also Joystick Playable and or keyboard / mouse) The curve begins when you try and take or do too many tasks. Try one task and master it then work on another, listen to others and watch everything :) Soon enough it will all fall together..

This is great game is highly recommend, with an Active community and growing.

GoodLuck and Hope this one makes it for you!

Beta Tester Review

As a member of the beta 0 team, I have to take a sense of pride in what was accomplished. Allegiance if by far the best flight sim/strategy game/fighter out there.

This is a game for intense gamers and newbies alike. But be forewarned, it is not easy. The graphics are awesome, and the game really flies on a faster computer and cable modem, having the ability to max out even the most hard core gamers system resources.

The biggest thing to keep in mind before you make the leap into allegiance is this: Are you a team player? This game is not for rouges. A single person can, and often does, make or break a game. If you're ready for a detailed and in depth strategy action game, where the fate of the game can depend on how well you cover the fighter in front of you, where a careless assault on an enemy can devastate your team and cost you the game, then gear up, get ready and fly!

More fun than you've ever had before.

Allegiance was and still is a game unlike any other I had ever played before. when Microsoft stopped the servers I stopped playing since I thought that the game was dead (like so many other multi-player games these days) but I found the AllegianceHQ which was then moved to www.freeallegiance.org site and started playing again.

The community has now formed it's own development group to keep creating this game, there is technical support offered through a helpline forum, there is a training program for new players and there is even a server where new players can go to get a basic feel of flight control before heading out into the main servers.

The community has kept this game alive for 4 years without major donations or support from it's original creator and This is without a doubt one of the best games ever made period.

This is an amazing game!

I wish I had discovered this game a year ago when it first came out. Microsoft's marketing really dropped the ball on this one.

This is probably one of the best games I've ever played. If you ever wanted to play Wing Commander or Descent: Freespace in a multiplayer environment where you have humans commanding the bases, capital ships, turrets, etc, this game is it. Allegiance successfully combines a space sim with RTS elements and the result is nothing short of spectacular.

And as an added bonus, version 1.0 is completely stable. There are apparently no patches for this game... a pretty rare accomplishment these days.

This game is the best that I have ever played

Microsoft Allegiance is an excellent game; in fact, in my opinion, the best game that Microsoft has made. Even better than MechWarrior 4. Unfortunately, since Microsoft isn't too greatful to it's beta testers, I'm not able to play the game anymore. I'm pretty sure that the other beta testers weren't to happy about this either. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to buy it, but it'll be well worth the money. (eBay will be where I get it from.) I would recommend this game to anyone and everyone!

Its a shame MS dropped this game. At one time it was 1,000's playing. But the game is still being played http://www.freeallegiance.org/. You need to check it out. Its free and we have a great time there.
