Isn´t it great , it is finaly happening Smile

Well to be honest I´m a bit two sided about it because hmm...
...what am I talking about.
I forgot to tell what happened Smile

Mark Rein said this at the Unreal 2 forum
"Lack of multiplayer is a temporary issue with Unreal2.

Legend are currently reviving their XMP design for mulitplayer and it will be released as a FREE downloadable add-on for people who own Unreal2."

I read the 2 news posts for the day, and I have to go BACK to bed, wake up, and get up again to make sure it's not a damn dream!

very fricken killer news to know that U2 will get multiplayer!!! That's gonna be amazing to see in action!

I am really excited about this one! Shocked

I can't wait to get the assault rifle out for some good o' deathmatch.

Won't help it much???? dude, that game is gonna completely friggen rock with multiplayer!

Course, I'm one of those sinister bastards that is just droolin at the idea of covering my friends with some spiders then striking their head like a match and watching them burn.....

Personally? I don't think that U2 deserved a lot of the bad-rap it got. It was a fairly solid (if short) game. Though I still find myself going back and playing it just trying to explore the levels to the best of my abilities.

Peoii m8: you didn`t understand me fully.. Players which owe U2 copy like me, you etc. will be MORE then happy with mp addon (and yes, I`m deff. looking forward to that) but I tho on game selling actually.. They are making games 2 get money, o/c, so I mean that this late relase wont help game to start selling better then it did.

I dunno, I know quite a few people who have been prompted to buy a copy just at the word of this new multiplayer addon..... I showed them the game a long while ago when I first got it, and they loved the graphics, but didn't buy it due to lack of multiplayer, now that multiplayer has been announced, all it'd take would be a little paper flyer at shops saying "and a FREE MULTIPLAYER ADDON available for download" and I think it'd start flying off the shelves!

i actually think it will be included in future sellings of u2

Epic will not relase new edition of Unreal 2 with multiplayer... However, I heard some rumors about expansion pack...

Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2003 2:23 pm

Is this your personal opinion? or do you have some pages to back that up?

I don't think it'd be to far stretched to put out an "Unreal 2 Gold Edition" or something along those lines with the multiplayer pre-built in. Heck, it'd prolly increase sales even more, as it'd look like a new product to most people.

Legend had to develop XMP at least for the XBox version. Microsoft are really pushing 'live' at the moment and I believe you can't obtain a development licence without a significant online component to your game.

i hope they make co-op HARD
