The big day is finally here! After eight months of hard work I am proud to present to you the first public release of Schism.
Version 1.0, available for download from ModDB, has the following features:
*Three completely new factions with their own distinct playstyles and arsenals
*Over forty new units
*Unique voice acting created specifically for the mod
*Overhauled sound effects, music, explosions, and other graphical effects.
You will need to download Ares 0.1 to run the mod. Install instructions are provided in the download's readme file (which comes in a high quality PDF that simulates a manual and a low quality .txt file for those on older computers).
My friends and I have had a lot of fun testing the balance of the game and I think you will find it is a polished product. I've opened the forums up for this site; I am interested to hear what your favorite side is of the three, as well as any balance concerns you may have. I'd also like to encourage anyone who wants to play multiplayer online to do so, so I set up a specifically multiplayer forum just for arranging a game or two.
Have fun with it! And keep an eye out for those secret units ;)

This is awesome! I personally did not expect this so soon.
When I get home and have time to play it I will write you a review. :)
One question though, where can I download "Ares 0.1"? Thanks.
Ares.strategy-x.com

Hey I'm used to wait at least a year or 2 for RA2 mods :)
Thanks a lot for the release, now I'm of to play Schism.
