Well after some nudging from the Admin, I am doing a quick follow up to the earlier post. Here is what Defence Alliance is.
Defence Alliance was originally created for Unreal Tournament which pitted a small group of human players with different abilities and weapons such as Medic, Sniper, Mechanic playing co-operatively against hordes of computer driven AI monsters.
The objective of the game was to repel and withstand the invasion until the time ran out. Defence Alliance 2 is based on the same basic principles but has come on greatly since those early days. With a fully cast Enemy force and weapon stock pile just the tip of the new game.
One of the biggest editions is the new mission type structure which allows for greater freedom for mappers to create new maps/missions not based on a basic win condition. Now players maybe be tasked with clearing out an over-run base or defending a central location from enemy attacks or holding out at several key places until certain objectives are achieved. The problem of repetitive maps in the original DA are long gone. Okay now you know. Happy B?  |

From the top of my head plotline summary:
The game is set during the time when peace has been lost to the murderous sounds of hell from the darkness of space. An unknown ancient foe has awoken and is consuming the known worlds.
The game takes place through the eyes of the mighty Alliance; a member race of the confederation, whose members are made up of the nations from the galactic rim
The impending doom of civilisation has called for the mobilisation of forces from the confederate nations; to take its stance in the stars in a bid to protect there worlds.
You are part of the Alliances Defence Forces, who are charged with guarding and protecting all Alliance territory and it’s off world assets.
With confederate forces spread out over the galactic arena. This evil is spilling into the homeworlds and systems of the confederate. Anything that finds its way into Alliance Space is your problem…
/END
Defence Alliance 2, is also intending to implement a Single Player campaign as well as the online MP one. For now “instant action” is the best SP game we can offer. We also hope to continue the story onto the upcoming UE3 which is set before the collapse of the universe and time...
Most of the screenshots come from the Simulation mode; where both teams are Alliance forces in simulated combat training, a standard training tool for the Alliance.
Campaign mode will follow the Alliance Defence Forces encountering the enemy in its own territory; across many planets and the voids of space.
