Overview:- More team based action,army vs army this time.This is the first Unreal Mod that easily caters for clan wars.But nothing is perfect and the developers have had to sacrifice,the simplicity of the old unreal Tournament interface.It took me a while to work out this new interface as there is a box on the left of the screen that shows a screen shot of the level u are about to enter,and there are these little icons that go across the middle of the screen.But they have had to shorten the name of the icon to fit it in..so game is now gam equipment is equ etc,it does say at the bottom of the screen what each Icon does as u move the mouse over it,but there are new options .I like this game because its realistic(even if it does take alot of getting used to),alot slower than almost all the other big UT mods.But its ashame about the levels...
Levels+Textures:- When I was waiting for the download to finish,I took a look at the online manual,I was reading through it and thinking can't wait to blow some tanks up.(cos its army u know) well the Download finished and I unzipped and ran into probs,it wouldn't open,so I downloaded the sections(7 sections 8MBs each) and found it wouldn't open with winzip,so I had to get hold of another zip program and couldn't work out how to use the damn thing so I downloaded it again.This time It ran,after working out the new interface I looked through the levels,and to my shock,the developers used the original UT levels.I was thourally disappointed cos I was looking for abit of trench action(and there are hardly anygood trench levels out there),basically click back and go to the Unreal Tournament review for my level + Textures review. The editors did pay back some of this disappointment by adding another UnrealED for it(but with the extra Infiltration settings and setup) but this may only be used by a limited few.(due to the complications of it).
Sounds:- The interface has some pretty neat music(OK I will not say another thing about the interface).The gun sounds I don't think sound as realistic as some of the other mods.But the reloading sounds the developers have really gone home on,U can here the character unzip his pocket pull out that clip and hear the great sound as he reloads the gun.
Realism:-This game is definitely a challenger for the realism title.The developers have made it so the player can get down on his belly( hit the dirt!!! as they say) and also the gameplay is much slower at times.The new feature in this mod that no other good mod so far for Unreal has modeled is no cross hairs,the player must actually look through the iron sights of the gun in order to aim.One thing I am not so sure about and that is the granades.they blew fragments absolutely everywhere,on Deck16 someones grenade blew up at the other end and actually flew right across and hit me when we were in that central room with all the ramps.
This game is a 1 hit kill kinda affair.Relistic but can get frustrating especially online.
A feature I like on this game is that u can customize alot of of the players looks and settings,you can put ur men in army hats,Outback hats,a rag etc,there is also a number of camouflage schemes,from German dessert,to Russian tan and modern urban.
AI:-Now I must say the AI are pretty decent in this game.They seem to take over a certain part of the map and defend it like a pack of very angry bull terriers.they do do some stupid things like crawl around when there is no need to.But they know how to kill most of the time they set ambushes and most of the time pull them off. I occasionally have an enemy guy come right up to me without shooting at me.
