Looking very, very nice. I just hope they don't take this game too much into fantasy, since it looks like they are :frown:

do you mean like the weapons and characters? well when i first saw the screen shots i felt like it became a fantasy... but i don't think so.. you still have the capture the flag thing.. and it looks good!
a lot of the weapons are more true to life, like the M16 looking one or one looks like the UZI, and you have also those others like the sniper thing and pulse....
i think we should wait a bit before jumping to conclusions...
 
The characters, the "energy" you pick up from dead players, and the fact that you have a team of players you can "upgrade" (the players, as well as the team). Seems really RPG/fantasyish.

Looks to much like Unreal to me. I think UT is a great game, the way it play and everything. I'm affraid their going to screw it up and hurt the game play. There's all ready a ton new boards on the Net plus some new people. I hope I'm wrong and I realize UT is an old game and hard to run on all system well.

well guys, i believe the fact that you enrich your team and stuff is in sigle player only.. against bots in the actualy UT2 single player mode... i don't think it will be in multiplayer.. and for the fact that you recharge energy from people you kill is cool, the more you kill the more powerfull you become...sounds interesting!
at least it's a change from the "normal" multiplayer you see in other games... that's my opinion..i don't know..
but what i didn't like are the characters really... the alien things and clowny guy you see in the screen shots...
but oh well i think i'm wrong
 
Looks wicked.

Yeah, I know. I still think that's a bit RPGish. It might work very, very well. And it might suck very, very much.

and for the fact that you recharge energy from people you kill is cool, the more you kill the more powerfull you become...sounds interesting!

I wouldn't mind seeing that as an option or a game mode (like Hunters/Team Hunters in Tribes 2), but to be concrete in the game...I don't know.

well yeah... i don't know really, i have been playing UT since like ever..and a bit of change won't harm anyone,
but oh well let's wait and see if this game will be as good as it's predecessor...
do you know what really made UT such a popular game? i think it's simplicity.. just grab a big honk weapon and go kick some aaaaaassssssss! i really don't know if the bit of "complexity" introduced in UT2 will make it as good....
 
Best game ever about to get even crazier I hope. I hope they use some of the mods as built in options in UT2.

i personnaly hated all the mods there is now for UT.
i'll prefer the good old UT, standard, well designed and professional.
all new weapons suck, a lot of new maps suck, and a lot of new mods suck...oh well
 
I saw a mod once that made everyone invincible. The guy who ran the website I saw it on had some funny comments like "Who the hell thought this was a good idea and made it?!? This is the stupidest mod ever!"
Basically, the bots would use up all their ammo shooting at each other, and then go at it with impact hammers. The game would never end.

I think one of the things that made UT popular was the graphics. Still a very good looking game, IMO. But you're right, the simplicity (and fairly well-balanced weapons) was the main thing.

Head shots with the sniper rifle are awesome. There's nothing better than running around with the sniper rifle and getting head shots from 2 feet away. Except one of my friends is REALLY good at that :frown:
