The first all-terrain, 3D real-time strategy game has landed on American
shores. After taking Germany by storm, Earth 2150 is ready to change RTS
forever.
More than just eye candy, its revolutionary 3D engine takes the genre in a
new direction. Meteor showers rain down from above. Climate changes affect
how weapons and vehicles function. Fog rolls in early during the morning
obstructing view range. Weapons recoil after firing. And full warfare occurs
beneath the surface of the earth.
Take the completely 3-dimensional landscape into account while planning your
troop movements: you'll need to scale towering mountains, dig out protective
bulwarks and create entire tunnel systems. Explosions and detonations can
change entire regions in an instant.
Fascinating day-and-night cycles affect your strategy: watch the shadows
change according to the sun's position. Solar cells adapt to the varying
intensity of the sun's rays. Blackout your spotlights and launch a surprise
nighttime attack!
Non-linear mission system with 75 highly challenging missions: you'll need
to carefully decide your next action. Should you conquer a strategically
vital area? Search for alien artifacts? Or perhaps you should try gaining
experience for your units.
Ever-changing weather effects: just when you think you've planned everything
just right, strong winds force your jets to make emergency landings; a
blizzard covers buildings and vegetation in a blanket of snow; and meteorite
showers lay waste to large sections of territory. Time to rethink your
strategy!
Simple to use troop management system and platoon base control: create your
own troop formations, change the squads and patrol areas as necessary, and
enlist the aid of computer generals in perfecting your campaign.
Three totally different sides take part in the conflict. This means 3
strategies, 3 interface looks, 3 music soundtracks. In short - three games
in one!
Multiplayer mode supports up to 8 players: engage in Internet or LAN matches,
or access The Microsoft Gaming Zone for instant action.
Easy-to-use map editor: in just a few seconds you can create your own mission
map and post it on the Internet for immediate download. Mattel Interactive
will also make a steady stream of new maps and other surprises available on
the Internet.
Handy 3D camera system: Zoom and rotate the camera angle any way you wish,
and use the sophisticated tracking system to keep your most critical troops
in sight at all times. You can even play with three camera windows
simultaneously!
Construct your own units from numerous chassis and weapon systems, then go
after those upgrades!
Wage battle on, above and below the Earth's surface - on land, in the air,
and on the water. The arsenal at your disposal includes aircraft, tanks,
robots, ships, helicopters and much, much more!
Revolutionary 3D engine creates real-time lighting, true 3D terrain
deformation, realistic fog-of-war and particle effects
This time there is no denying a beta was released to the scene by DVN. You
can even see it in the menu when you start:
DVN = v2.6.0.4
CLS = v2.8.0.7
File Differences:
DVN BETA:
LANGUAGE WD 114,686 03-11-00 5:39p language.wd
UPDATE~1 WD 3,855,232 04-20-00 12:09p update001.wd
CLS FINAL:
LANGUAGE WD 115,335 05-19-00 1:05p Language.wd
UPDATE~1 WD 3,970,853 05-10-00 9:26a Update001.wd
No CDilla files in the DVN rip, nor any manual, just like in the beta.
DVN's rip took HOURS to rebuild, and CLS does professional rips and
rebuilds with professionally coded tools. To be sure you get the best
quality rip, here is the whole thing.
We will miss Eurosoft, who is now retiring from the scene completely. He is
leaving germany, and gives his highest regards to all CLS/FLT/BLH members.
Lastly, happy b-day to T.A.R... or should we say, happy drinking day?!
If you get drunk today, give a cheer to him.. oh hell, just get drunk now!
