CM-SS13

CM-SS13 is one of those games that looks incredibly basic at first but turns out to be ridiculously complicated once I actually start playing. It is a free multiplayer roleplay game built around Space Station 13, but heavily changed into a tactical Colonial Marines experience. I am dropped into the year 2182 as part of the Falling Falcons and sent into dangerous colonies where I might be fighting xenomorphs, treating wounded marines, running supplies or trying to keep the whole operation organised. The old BYOND engine makes it look like something from another era, but underneath the simple graphics there is a huge amount going on. The amount of detail is probably what impresses me most. Combat is not simply pointing a gun and shooting until something dies. Ammunition, equipment, positioning, orders and logistics all matter, while the medical system goes far beyond having a normal health bar. I can deal with broken bones, internal injuries, organ problems and overdoses, which makes getting wounded feel like an actual problem that needs to be dealt with rather than something that disappears after a few seconds. Even the environment can become part of the battle because walls can be…

CM-SS13 is a highly specialized multiplayer experience that blends military role-playing, tactical combat, survival horror, simulation mechanics, and large-scale cooperation into a deliberately complicated package. Developed by CM-SS13 Devs and published by CM-SS13 Community, it is clearly aimed at players who appreciate systems-driven games where communication and knowledge are every bit as important as mechanical skill. Its old-school presentation may appear modest at first, but the simplicity of the graphics hides a surprisingly sophisticated simulation in which dozens of players can contribute to an unfolding military operation. The central scenario revolves around personnel aboard the USS Almayer responding to trouble at a remote colony. Marines are deployed to investigate the situation, but what follows can rapidly develop into a violent confrontation between organized human forces and a hostile xenonid hive. This asymmetrical structure gives the two factions substantially different experiences. Marines depend on firearms, equipment, communications, defensive construction, medical treatment, logistics, and a functioning command structure. Xenonids instead rely on biological …

The trailer is awful but the game is deep, beautiful and with an awesome (but small) community around it. There's something for everyone there's elements of a shooter, management game or an arcadey fighting game involved here. Awesome and irreplaceable, the negative reviews are primarily from people who have been banned from the server.

the steam launcher is screwy, how it interacts with achievements and the other accounts

i mean its just cmss13 from byond i already had 150+ hours on there.

Game is amazing, all the bad reviews are from people who love this game as well but they are mad that they got banned for breaking the rules on this private server and now have hurt feelings cause it is or was there favorite game. Believe me, I would be pissed off if I got banned from the server cause I love the game a lot. Best Aliens game on the internet by far. Free to play private open source server/game run and made by a community. Be apart of the community and login and play. The game is a PVP Marines Vs Aliens deathmatch. Rounds take 1-3 hours to complete and you can join mid round. It is one of the space station 13 game servers. All communication (talking to others) is by text no voice chat. It has the most unique game controls using a hand system that may take a bit to get used to. You start on the marines ship waking up from cryogenic sleep after a long space travel to a distant colony. Gear up and make your way to the briefing where the commanding officer (also a player) will tell everyone their plan. There are 50-100 other marines all with different jobs and varying levels of ship access. Every person you see in this game is another player and each has a specific j…
