So whats the deal with this game?? Theres been almost no coverage anywhere for this game and according to EBGames.com its shipping next week (11th).
From what little I've seen for the Xbox version it might be kinda cool on Live. Cool fighter classes and some vehicles on Live. Might be a nice diversion to play besides Rainbow Six. From the little coverage its getting though,the game probably sucks. You never know, it may be good. I'm hoping it is.
Unreal 2, along with UT2K3, pretty much decimated the Unreal legacy. The game itself was actually not half bad, but it was a very big dissapointment, especially compared to the original (UT2K3 just sucked).
Also, Epic didnt even do the game.
So, yea, the game isn't getting much press because it wasnt very good in the first place.
we'll see...heard this promises a few years ago regarding unreal championship.Quote:

I like UT2k3's look. Nice for a quick pick up game. No depth though.
I dissagree. I hated it when it came out. The weapon balance totally killed the game making even the most worthless enemies take tons of damage(Or the weapons just did next to none) and ruined combat. The levels and puzzles were shitty too. If not for the graphics I would never have finished it. Not to mention there was Quake 2, which made Unreals gameplay and shitty multi look even worse.Quote:

I want to get it but Im afraid of it selling like crap, and then being stuck with a game that not only has a boring single player game, but no one online to play with.
the xmp addon which is free for pc.......yet itll be full retail price for the xbox i assume?
That would bite.....hard.
You people DO realize this is Unreal II AND the XMP add-on, right?
exactly... and the XMP was awesome.
Mzo knows his shit all of the sudden.
thats why i assumed it was a ripoff. made it sound liek onyl the multiplayer expansion was included.Quote:

I guess it's just at how you look at things :lol:
XMP is odd at first, but it's pretty cool once you get used to it. I haven't been playing it because Halo PC has consumed my attention, and XMP feels a bit weird when just trying to switch over. Regardless, spend some time with it and you'll be glad you bought the game. Ignore the single-player, get it for XMP Live-play.
I agree with you that the single player part of Unreal 2 sucks hard, but the multiplayer mode of the game is great! I've been playing it for months and I really dig the team-based action. The vehicles seem to be an afterthought though. I dunno how it'll play on XBox live or anything but I'd go for the PC version because of mouse/keyboard controlQuote:

Since I don't think it was mentioned at TNL, Legend, the developer of Unreal 2 on PC has closed down.
Like has been said, Unreal 2 wasn't anything special on PC. Unreal 1 wasn't either aside from the stunning graphics engine at the time.
So basically Unreal 2 one player sucks but online might be cool if they dont fuck up the port?
yes. actually i dont think unreal 2 single player is that bad (theres much worse) and looks really great on a decent rig but it just doesnt do anything new. thats the main problem.
Unreal 2 (2 me) = Uncaring.
Then why bother posting anything jackass?Quote:

XMP == Sort of a Tribes-Style mode for Unreal. It's also a bit of a preview as of what to expect from Unreal Tournament 2K4's new assault mode, except I think it's a bit more complicated with the resources and stuff. You go around the map taking over a nodes (A bit like TFC's capture points, but they do more) and generally shoot the crap out of each other.
It's good stuff!
If I win it from xbox retail then great.
If not, who the fuck cares...
Everyone else in this thread who has expressed interest in it you inconsiderate fuck.
Why don't you go sit up in your tower?
And take a nap.

Anyone else see that is says Unreal 2: coming soon when they boot up their Xbox Live? Looks like the game may actually come out this week afterall.
it's coming out wednesday. our atari rep already stopped by and gave us 2 final copies to play around with and keep.
How does it run? I'm always a bit nervous when it comes to PC > Console ports. Is it nice and smooth or so-so?
you would care that I didn't win it? crazy...Quote:

Who is this guy?
It's called a name change... do some fucking research.
OH, its Box Drink.
Now everything makes sense.
good job.
A shitty topic for a shitty game.
All's well at TNL.
Guess I wont bother asking if someone actually did get it. From the few reviews I've read so far it looks like I wont be buying now. Just a renter.
but they're not even funny.......Quote:
