StrategyInformer reports: Nuclear Dawn was one of the many pleasant surprises of today. A bit of MAG meets Section 8, it's the first true FPS/RTS hybrid I've ever seen. Using the Source engine, initially Nuclear Dawn looks like any standard FPS. The game mode we were shown had classes, weapon load-puts, squads, and you had to capture resource points.
If you're the commander though, you can go into a special RTS interface mode, which looks exactly like many of the classic RTS' you've played. From there, you can use the resources your team is generating to drop support buildings, defence turrets... even extra spawn points. We'll definitely do a more in-depth write up later, but this was one of, if not THE most interesting game of the day. Keep your eye on it.
