15-25 hours? A few levels with "replayability"? Bullcrap. What that means is that the single player is so frickin' lame and short it'll take about five-six hours to blow through it. Damn I hate when developers don't have the guts to just say that their damn game is mainly made for multilplayer, and the single player is secondary and will SUCK. It'd save us all a lot of curiosity, time, and money.

I am confused. Which game is Epic working on? Unreal2 is being done by legend. I think Unreal Championship is the xbox game and epic is doing Unreal Warfare? So what exactly is going to be the difference between all these games?

Legend: WeÂ’re hoping to make a single player game with 15-25 hours of game play for an average gamer. Of course there is much more game play in the multiplayer - you can fight bots or go on-line and spend many, many hours playing. ItÂ’s worth noting that there are some single player missions with considerable replay value

every hype-driven FPS has touted these non-feature features. ('well, the singleplayer levels are really replayable!!!') It's never been true. just hype.

Which multiplayer-modes do you include in the game?
Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Last Man Standing, Capture-the-Flag, and a new expanded multiplayer mode that mixes action and strategy.

The effects and textures look great, but the Skaarj still looks like a really gay version of the Predator. They should ditch that creatue or just redesign it. Cutting off the tail would help, maybe.

WeÂ’ll also have a variety of types of game play, including traditional first person missions, hostage rescue, squad based combat, escort missions, exploration and discovery in new environments, and a number of multiplayer variants.

This sounds promising. I don't want to play any more 'find the key' or 'clear the level of all monsters' games anymore. Been there, done it to death; it's about time FPS games got a bit more complex.

Must be a response to market forces, eh? ;)

We also may do a version of the game for lower end cards like the TNT2 or the Voodoo 3 or 4 series - we havenÂ’t decided on how to support the first generation hardware cards.

WTF does that mean 15-20 hours of singleplayer. I mean Unreal 1 had lots more (unreal difficulty!!) and i dont want Unreal 2 to be like a mix between unreal and UT. This should be like unreal 1 with lots of singleplayer and the Multi as a bonus.
