Anyone know where I can download a copy of LSN? I”ve checked the LSN website and its not taking any more orders due to moving servers. That was back in July 2010. I’ve played the trial but level 1 of the marines is getting old fast…

LSN has THE BEST GAMEPLAY EVER! I’ve played computer games since the Atari 2600. I love strategy games and LSN ranks right up there with Civ.

I’m a spawn man myself. Splatters leading a delayed spawn rush. Keep a queen at the back just in case.

The site is near to dead at the moment. 30 people isn’t enough to provide opposition. Fingers crossed they let it go free and get more people playing it. I’m sure millions would enjoy it which would bring in money eventually though adverts maybe? A dollar per month?

Keep checking the site dudes!

I loved Laser Squad and must have played it for days on end. If anyone else liked it, have you checked out Stellar Forces (http://www.stellarforces.com)? It’s like Laser Squad but with all the multi-player apsects of LSN. And free already!

If there were someplace one could go to donate money to help make this happen, I’d do it without a moment’s hesitation. Surely I can’t be the only one?

A moment’s respect for Crank (it was him) is in order, I thinks…

Ta.

Happy memories – and it was all about the Spawn. Go go gadget Buzzer rush!

It was extremely tactically deep – and with a fair chunk of meta-strategy thrown in for good measure.

Also, probably/sadly the game I was best at evah. According to the leaderboards and stuff anyway…

What’s your point? They decided to run it through servers, it could have easily been a straight PBEM game like the zillion others that don’t require a subscription or servers. It’s not like they wrote it then were like “oh shit we programmed it to use servers to process and send turns out. Well fuck I guess we’ll have to charge a subscription fee now”

The Grenadier’s Bible was a real eye opener to me. Not just for the tactical tips and tricks, although those were very useful, and I adapted many of them for my own playstyle, but for the thorough, theoretical strategic thinking that underpinned them. Stuff about information, map control and force organisation that serves me well even in games other than LSN.

I tended to have slightly more success with the Mechs than with the others, although I went for a slightly greater focus on XTs. I liked the combination of Hunters and Scanners really allowing you to keep ahead in the information game (and find the perfect targets for missiles). I played everything, though, on a whim.

I loved the Gollop games since Chaos and Rebelstar II dealt out many hours of fund.

I never got round to subbing to LSN, if it’s free to play I’ll definitely get into it though.

Great news, i certainly hope this manages to survive as f2p.
I’m rather fond of this game and it certainly was a stepping stone for me into bigger online titles.

Also.
