Training multimedia

A variety of training materials and videos have been produced by the Allegiance community. A number of these videos are linked on this page. It is hoped they provide a useful learning resource for players.

Lawson's Videos on Google

Lawson created several instructional well produced training videos that were popular with the community on release. For further information on the videos and their creation - read here.

Bomber Sample

Training Sample - Bomber Stopper - 2 min 18 sec

Posted Jan 7, 2007.

Unscripted game footage edited as if it were an upper-level training video, although no particularly advanced topic is addressed. Shows a fighter launching to defend a base against an inbound bomber; the defense succeeds with the destruction of the bomber.

Intro Reel

Training Video Intro Reel - 55 sec

Posted Feb 11, 2007.

This video is a teaser, as if it were the first part of a full training session, leading into the Game Overview Test video to follow.

Game Overview

Game Overview Test - 6 min 17 sec

Posted Feb 21, 2007.

Provides a training mission feel, from game start, including a freeze frame of the overhead map with a description of each part. This video is somewhat slower paced, but provides substantial detail explaining why certain things are being done, as well as some clarification of abbreviations seen in chat.

A FileFront version of this video was removed from FileFront by their automatic "deletion of low-use files" policy.

Constructor Fight

Constructor Fight - 4 min 4 sec

Posted March 23, 2007.

Two constructors aim for the same asteroid, causing a massive, dense dogfight. The video is narrated and heavily edited with zoom and highlighting effects in the first 2 minutes; the second half replays the entire sequence with no editing. As a side note, this video demonstrates a few rookie mistakes, including nanning while out of range and nanning while a target is not yet taking armor damage.

Due to screen density, the video is somewhat blurred. The PAL version is much smoother to play on Google Video. For reasons unknown, the MPEG4 version hitches badly, but has good audio; it may be removed by Lawson at a later date.
