Unreal2 XMP demo out!

[beek0p]

Its out. I'm gonna give it a try.
Those of you who don't know, XMP(xpanded multiplayer) is a class based multiplayer game type for Unreal2. The goal is to get artifacts(4 I think) for your team to win. There are also a few vehicles to mess around in. You don't need Unreal 2 to play the demo.  The SE version of Unreal 2 which includes the regular sp and the new xmp(and the free version of xmp for those who already own U2, includes around 8 xmp maps) is coming in the next few days.

Xmp is fun. Its better than I thought it would be. One of the better games I've played in a while(apart from underground). Its kinda complicated really. 2 teams start with 2 artifacts and one team must make sure they have all four to win. Its play may remind you of ctf or any kind of strategy game. You will need to work as a team to win most games.

You'll be hacking alot and fighting to control important parts of the map. You can't win without having some energy flowing inside your base. Energy is used for a wide variety of things and you need to hack energy sources around the map so you will have some power for the many things you'll need it for. Even if you suck at getting kills in general you can do other things such as setting up defenses which include laser walls, mines, auto-turrets, rocket turrets, tripwires and more.

The three classes are pretty unique. You can do things like drop health, armor and ammo depending of the class you've chosen. There are several other differences such as player speed, arsenal, max hp and armor etc. The vehicles are ok but with 56k controlling them is a bitch(maybe the netcode needs more work here). Good thing about the vehicles is that they all have nos which comes in handy. Even the tank has nos  Had good moments in the hours that I played it.
Hell, I even brought back ownij pics.   :-D

i played it all time this morning. its good but it sux. hmm let me explain a bit. its good but its not cool. hmm let me try to put it better. its alright but it not good.

its really boring after a while, the vehicles sux, the weapons are ok though, the graphics eh all that, the gametype is crap, hacking an stupidness. overall it aint really all that at all nah, the way i see it you hadda be a unreal fan or something to really even bother with it. well then again i play so many fps games, beat so many, mastered so many that my standards will be higher than others. may be fun at first, after about an hour, thats it dey oui. but this is only the demo eh, and my judgement is only based on the demo, lets wait for the full thing to come out...

Haven't played 2k3 much in months.
I like the tourney idea. I don't think it'll materialize though. But hey you can always prove me wrong.
Kinda wish it was some UT1 ctf though but whatever. =)
