I played hundreds and hundreds of hours of Tremulous back in the day, and at least a few of its successor Unvanquished – before mostly falling out of playing online games.
Tremulous was THE game for me for a couple of years, I remember people praising Natural Selection 2 as the FPS/RTS combo and I was like “but that’s just one player playing an RTS and the rest playing an FPS”. I always preferred the natural way we built in first person, and anyone could build anything, from Tremulous.
Thanks for mentioning NS2, I would’ve scrolled past this game otherwise. NS2 was my most favorite competitive game, that I never found people to play with for (aside from once being approached by someone at a bar, who overheard me talking about NS2 and that I play Starcraft, that they’re looking for an RTS player for their e-sport NS2 team. I… wasn’t good at Starcraft, so it didn’t work out, but it was a funny random happenstance).
I love asymmetric games, and the mix of RTS + FPS for the rest seems like a really interesting game from the competitive/meta standpoint.
I’ll check out these two games, sounds like it might be right up my alley.

Check out the old trailer here, it shows how a game usually goes. It’s a shame the resolution from 20 years ago is not very good though 😅
