I'm sure a lot of old subspace players probably know of Infantry at the very least. The game had ~3000+ online players during its peak times before pay to play went active around 5 years ago. It's just been announced that the p2p system is being removed and the game is going to return to 100% free again(along with Cosmic Rift and Tanarus). So, if you were ever interested, but discouraged by the game not being free, go ahead and check it out again. There's a download link at http://infantry.station.sony.com/en/main.jsp to get started. If you decide to take up playing regularly, check out the league sites at http://www.skirmishleague.com , http://www.uslzone.com , or http://ctfpl.goblin1.com Quoted from SOE forums- "!@#$%^&*o All, It's been a few months in the making but finally, it is my great pleasure to make the following announcement: Starting June 26th, the Station P!@#$%^&* games, Infantry, Cosmic Rift, and Tanarus, will be completely free. Yes, 100% (no money needed, no small print, no exceptions, etc) free! In order to make this transition, as of May 26th, billing will be turned off to prevent anyone else from subscribing and to allow everyone's paid time to be completed. Since some accounts will expire before the end of the month and before the games are set to free, guest accounts will have to be used for that transitional period. My apologies for any inconvenience this transitional period may cause, but there's no way around it, and well, I think some may say the end result makes it worth it. Additionally, as some of you may have already guessed from my not overly cryptic posts, we're busy at work do!@#$%^&*enting the Infantry & Cosmic Rift map editors which we will make publicly available soon after we make the switch to free. I trust once the games are set to free, and the Infantry & CR editors are available, we will see a good inflow of maps designed by you guys, which takes us to the next task on my list; Player Content Team. We will set up a team to help funnel / implement / appraise the many maps I am sure we will get. More than anything, I want to make sure this process is transparent to the rest of the community, mainly to prevent any preferential treatment, and because I fully believe that if you took the time to make a map, it should have a fair shot of at least being play tested. There's obviously quite a bit to spec out and define before the PCT happens, but I wanted to bring it up now since I knew it was probably going to be the #1 question right after reading the big announcement above. In Tanarus's case, since there's no guest access, we may have an extended "free weekend" a week or so prior to the official change to free to try to alleviate any down time for those who end their billing cycle earlier than the end of the month. So alas, I hope you enjoy the last of your P2P days, and I hope everyone is as excited about the news as I am. Cheers! -Jose Araiza / SPD_G"
