I only got the chance to play this as a demo, so i have no idea how it plays out but would like to, remember it being really fun. The graphics were really good for the time atleast for me.
I still remember this game from years ago, i actually had a CD for it until it broke. Glad is was able to buy it digitally. I replayed the game a few times over the years, its always fun.
This was my Christmas gift when I was 14 year old both games Chrome and Chrome: SpecForce used to play it with my dad . Jon St. John voice is so iconic what and absoulute classict the game also was pretty demanding back in the day the whole UI and inventory system chefkiss
Pretty good game. What makes this game in particular so special to me unlike most of the obscure FPSs from the 1990s and 2000s is that its environments are just so good.
While I'm not sure if this was a selling point for the game or if this was how the game was marketed as back in the day as I was too young when it was released, there's something about this game's environments that make them so wonderful and lively; each level puts you in beautiful environments that are also almost completely different from each other from level to level, making this game a wonderful environmental beauty showcase.
If you're going to play it, you'll need to use an external tool to cap the frame rate to 60 FPS since the game was designed to be played at 60~ FPS, and higher FPS will make your movement feel as if you are sliding on the ground instead of walking.
FYI, this game was re-released in 2004 as Chrome: Gold Edition in the EU featuring all the previously released patches, and is known as Advanced Battlegrounds: The Future of Combat in NA.
There's also a prequel released in 2005, titled Chrome: Specforce, which I recommend playing that first as its story is set before this one and tells you what happened before the main game's events occurred.
Also for those unaware, there was going to be a sequel, Chrome 2, that was announced in 2006 that not only looked even more beautiful environmentally, but also looked technologically impressive for its time as well, but sadly it was never released and was put on hold soon after.
All of the other separate games (Chrome: SpecForce, Chrome 2) and re-releases (Advanced Battlegrounds) are also available to vote on the GOG dreamlist.
It's a shame that not a lot of games in general, much less FPS games, care about their environments like this game did.
Yeah, I know about all of this info because that's how much I actually like this game in particular that makes it stand out for me compared to the other obscure FPSs released around its era.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
