I was waiting for the glowing reports of varied gametypes in that. Instead
it appears to be a misnamed product. "Onslaught2004" should've been its
name. It also doesn't look good when anti-cheat mods are being released
for it so soon.

They're kinda my second home. *shrug*

Hmm... I have fond memories of T1 C&H games... multiteam games at that.

Yep. I have the demo.

I read that they're trying to mod the T2 vehicles for Onslaught2K4. If
they could include a random UE generator while they're at it, then ingame
forums for lamers to infest and whine about the low framerates (not due to
their l33t Voodoo3 64MB PC100 Cyrix PC's obviously), the initiation will
be complete. Oh, and increase the personal scores to silly proportions,
just so that teamwork means less and less.
Semi-rant over. Yep, I've just had a game or two of T2... and I've not
missed it at all. :/
