Unreal Championship Bombing Run Team!
With Xbox Live comes the tremendous oppurtunity to play well as a coordinated team and what better way to utilize this than with perhaps the best team play mode made to date? UC's Bombing Run is like Rugby with Guns. Penny-Arcade had a pretty good description of it in their news post for thier UT2K3 comic. I too would have liked to see the sports theme taken further but as it is Bombing Run makes this (fanatical) Quake junkie a UT2K3 and UC devotee. Normally I wouldn't really care for UC. It's basically UT2K3 without a great MOD scene and inferior controls. HOWEVER - while voice can be added to most any PC game it's not universally present. With XBL, you can coordinate Runs - alert defencemen and heads-up the pass with ease. Otherwise it's just a couple of guys running around trying to get the bomb in the goal while everyone else just kills each other TDM style. That's fine for basic CTF (and I'll keep Quake for that) but Bombing Run requires more. You NEED someone to protect the bomb runner, the bomb runner needs MORE THAN ONE OPTION to pass to. The base defence needs to be solid and coordinated (many levels are indoors). To be sucessful you need good players, smart players and well aquanited players who know the strenths and weaknesses of one another. This is why Unreal Championship is ideal to me. And it'll likely be ideal for you too! So show your interest in this proposition and join TNL's Unreal Championship Bombing Run Team. If we need a Mascot, we can use Bahn, or Chun Li or something.
