We finally got a chance to see a bit more of S2 Games' sequel of 2004's Savage
FPS/RTS hybrid and the small bit shown is encouraging. From a basics standpoint, Savage 2 shares most of the original game's ideals. Two teams compete over resources on a map in the search of total domination. The bulk of each team play each match in the role of a soldier on the battlefield while the commander can give orders and construct buildings, designate research, manage money, and award promotions. Savage created a wonderful mix of action and strategy but had some barriers to entry that kept it from becoming extremely successful even though most players that broke through the wall ended up addicted to the fast paced and often smart gameplay Savage provided. S2 is hoping to fix most of the original game's shortcomings with a more complete set of classes to choose from, a better skill system, casting system, inventory, and a whole new pricing plan that will hopefully encourage players to give the game a chance.
