- ElectricGrandpa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It's not really crap coding at all, it's created in a program called "Multimedia Fusion" which is created by www.clickteam.com
It's the newest version of a program you might remember called "klik and play". The reason it's not crap coding is because there is, in fact, NO coding involved... well, at least there is no typing. All of the programming is done by drag and drop.
Because of this, there will also never be a Mac or Linux version, as they aren't supported by this software.
-Matt - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Samus, is that you? What are you doing in a Halo outfit?
- camintmier, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Direct link to a cached version of the download, so it doesn't kill the site's servers.

GO TRY SOLDAT. I'm serious. A friend introduced me to it a while ago, and now I'm completely hooked.

:P - they just release version 1.3.1 as well.

http://dtrinh.botsrus.net - concreteclam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Torrent made... everyone seed as much as you can!

- Illidan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Too bad there's no linux version! Dugg anyway.
- concreteclam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Also added to Monova.org.
http://monova.org/i/20243 - Lord_oftheTrons, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I bet it won't be able to top Soldat. Best 2D game I've played in a long while.
- crawfordbay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Just beat the game. Absolutely incredible! Had a blast!

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wine is capable of running it, to say the least. I wasnt able to get any sound/movement out of it, and the resolution was very very low.
- rspeed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1There's already a Halo 0. It's called Marathon.
Vous ĂȘtes incompĂ©tent! - tpimental, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Site is slow already... any mirrors/torrents?
- generalleoff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"That said, this is pretty nice, but for some reason my gun keeps aiming up and down and I don't know what I'm doing to make it do that. Oh, well, I'll keep playing anyway."
The game uses yer mouse to aim like it was a 3D game. Just in case you didn't know that. I find the mouse aim to be rather detrimental to the normal pacing of a 2D shooter of this type but the games alright. Soldat deals with mouse aim better but then it's not a clone of Contra, or Metroid. - SybotCB, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Everyone of you guys is wrong. The best 2D game ever is Nethack.
http://www.nethack.org - AltonMan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Great game! I only wish there was an option for using a gamepad instead of a mouse. I have a logitech dual action gamepad that would work nice with this.
- Anthraxx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Codename Gordon anyone?
- znxster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0its quite impressive .. time to trial it in wine :)
- rainwater2k5, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Better then XBOX ones LOL
- worxman02, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hey i think its fun. Its a good game to play while bored on a train (I ride amtrak home from college alot)
- colemip, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yea, this isn't so hot. Many much better side-scrolling shooters out there. Only appeal is that it has pretty Halo sprites. That's about it. Maybe multiplayer is fun..?
- BrandonMills, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wonder if the 2d version has autoaiming just like the 3d version does...
Ever try to shoot beside an alien instead of the alien itself? Hard to do when Halo guides you bullets to their targets. - starman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Apparently someone doesn't know their Marathon/Halo history.
- bipto, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Sweet. Too bad there's no Mac version...
- hadak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Awesome.
- phi1200, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dugg. Gotta love those 2D games.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Going to try and run this in WINE...
- pirateboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1this would be nice to port to the psp. i was just playing contra on it the other day.
- distortedlojik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0My friend and I dl'd this and play multiplayer during programming class. This is right up there with trackmania sunrise in terms of fun multiplayer.
- Tupper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think I see smoke on the horizon from the melted server
- firelion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0about time this came out, I wonder if its the same one that was going around in screen shots only last year
- freeyayo50, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yea lol. I just switch my controls so i move with the a, s, & d keys
- obscurelyfamous, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Neat little app.
Nothing makes this an amazing game though. Though the same could be said about Halo 2. *snicker* - jgclark123, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Great game! I only wish there was an option for using a gamepad instead of a mouse. I have a logitech dual action gamepad that would work nice with this."

Try using Phatsoft's JoyMouse and Joy-to-Key . - samwyse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sybot: Ditto
That said, this is pretty nice, but for some reason my gun keeps aiming up and down and I don't know what I'm doing to make it do that. Oh, well, I'll keep playing anyway. - freeyayo50, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Anybody wanna play online. My IP address is 137.125.104.129
- foxhoundadmin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0all i gotta say is, don't go to the desktop while playing. well, i have another thing to say--what is up with the whole left arrow right arrow thing? are all french people left handed?
- jzb1996, on 10/10/2007, -0/+019.168.1.100 is my ip
- ProSam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0pretty cool.
- theenginedriver, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0How is this a great game? Nothing about it makes me want to play it for more than 5 minutes.
- grahamykins, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Needs Mac version. NOW!
- Presentlight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I can't imagine MS or Bungie sitting on this.
- Burner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0looks like codename gordon.
- Cippy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This needs a Mac version. My PC is too old to run that.
All of you need to play more Marathon. - republicoftexas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Torrent made... everyone seed as much as you can!"
A torrent for a 20MB game? It only takes a few min on a slow-high speed connection. What do you need a torrent for? - dj_sea2005, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"A torrent for a 20MB game? It only takes a few min on a slow-high speed connection. What do you need a torrent for?"
the server went down a while back. he made a torrent to releive stress to the server - foxhoundadmin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"How is this a great game? Nothing about it makes me want to play it for more than 5 minutes."
true. the controls are funny, and it's too easy not to die. i went through the first segment without even losing my shield. at least it's easy to uninstall! :)
i can see a good deal of work went into this, so, if i were to grade this game, i'd give it a "c" (on effort alone).
