Introduction - The Starsiege Universe

Welcome to the 29th century, where giant mechanized robots and armored vehicles are the main weapon systems of choice. The human Imperials and the rebels are battling for power and control in the solar system, but unite against the return of an old threat - the cybrids.

Dynamix's newest game is perhaps their best yet, featuring some great graphics, a well thought out game universe and story, interesting weapons and characters, and some new twists in the very competitive niche field of mech games. And on top of all that, Starsiege provides a lot of gameplay, customizable options, and multiplayer games as well. But getting through the game's two campaigns isn't easy, and survival is the name of the game. That's where this guide comes in, providing:

General tactics, including use of weapons and how to survive.
Winning in the multiplayer arenas, including capture-the-flag (CTF) games
Walk-throughs for each mission in the human and cybrid campaigns

Unlike other games, the tactics discussions will focus on a more general level instead of looking at the weapons and vehicles individually, since each category is not as essential from anything but a very specific standpoint, and besides, that kind of specific information is available in the game documentation.

Of course, we can't get into too much detail, but with this guide, not only can you finish Starsiege if you happen to get stuck (an event that can and will happen more than a few times during the campaigns), but it will let you play - and play successfully.

So let's move out.
