Stargate Resistance Game Update Adds New Map

Stargate Resistance is a fast-paced and deadly 3rd person shooter for control of the entire Stargate galaxy. The system lords believe they are the true masters of the Milk Way, and have begun a savage campaign to dominate and enslave the known worlds. Stargate Command operatives are the first line of defense against this menace. Small teams of brave agents use the Stargate to travel about the galaxy and parry the thrust of these alien overlords.

Included in this recent release are the following features:

  • New Gameplay Modes with the “King of the Hill” Gameplay Mode for the Amarna Temple Game Map and “Team Death Match” Gameplay Mode added to the Stargate Command Headquarters Game Map
  • Several new collectable in game achievements (totaling now 176) including: ‘Puddle Jumper’, ‘GOAAAAAL!’, ‘Fish in a Barrel’
  • Expansion of the universe with the Leonops Game Map
  • New Character models for: System Lords Jaffa Class and Stargate Command Soldier Class

Stargate Resistance Update Released

Stargate Resistance notes for patch 1.1.12.0.

Newness: Weapons:

  • Scientists have become overly ambitious attempting to throw numerous beacons to aid their team. Their equipment has been reconditioned by Ops to utilize the respawn / cooldown system much like grenades and claymores. For example, if a scientist turret explodes while a beacon is placed, the beacon will now disappear and the Scientist will also have to wait for the full 15 second cooldown to place another.
  • New animations for the Goa’uld when healing or attacking players with the ribbon device, the arm will now animate on all clients.

Bug Fixes:

  • Corrected a spelling error on CTT gametype messaging when returning the System Lord tech
  • UI audio feedback now in place when selecting the Jaffa on the SL class screen, matching other classes.
  • A few blocks have had their collision adjusted on Amarna
  • Temple to prevent players from phase shifting and hiding in them.
  • Holding Tab while a match ends will function as if you closed the tab screen prior to the game ending and no longer draws overlapping screens.
  • The achievement “In the Middle of my Back Swing” now fits within one line on the class stats page.
  • Loading and objective screens now display properly for each planet
  • Committing suicide will now incur death properly for both teams and display a suicided message.
  • Idle kick rules will now apply to players idle on the class select screen.

Weapons:

  • Projectile based weapons can now go beyond the invisible roof of Leonops (shhh… don’t tell Mahes it’s a bubble).
  • Scientist’s attempting to place a healing dispenser will no longer get two beacon placements per click.
  • Jaffa melee attacks will now ignore the ‘red x’ system.

Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment Files For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, Resistance Still Supported

Published by Stargate Archive Team under Games

It’s official the development Studio behind the long-awaited and overdue Stargate Worlds and the recently released Stargate Resistance has filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in the United States of America.

This recent announcement and declaration throws into doubt the release of Stargate Worlds, with the game still several months away before completion it looks increasingly likely this will become yet another defunct Stargate games release. However fans do not need to fear the development studio FireSky has announced it will continue to support Stargate Resistance.

Here is the official Statement from the studio:

Hi guys, in light of recent events this is the official statement from FireSky:

Cheyenne Mountain’s corporate structure has undergone some dramatic changes in the last few weeks, and that has resulted in various actions such as the filing for Chapter 11. Certain parties believed that was the right thing to do, other parties do not and this is still being evaluated and may be rescinded. Even if the bankruptcy should go through, however, Chapter 11 simply allows a company to restructure its debt to a manageable plan approved by the courts. It does not absolve a company of debt, and it does not shut it down or otherwise affect its daily operations.

This will all be sorted out in the legal and proper manner, and all of us on the development side of things hope it’s done as quickly as possible.

That said, our entire staff is in-house working on upgrades and expansions for Stargate Resistance, and we continue to be motivated and excited by the response we’ve received from our customers.

See you on the battlefield!

Anyone who pre-ordered the game from D2D should email their confirmation number to FireSky at support@firesky.com to obtain a 2 day pass key
