Unreal 2 Preview

by Maarten Goldstein, Nov 14, 2001 8:45am PST

The Skaarj Still Bleeds is the title of an Unreal 2 preview on CG Online. The preview comes loaded with quotes from people at Legend and Epic, and goes over the story and the missions, the enemies (24 of them) and NPCs, the weapons, and the dialogue system as well as the multiplayer modes, a new team mode specifically. Here's a bit from the part about the multiplayer mode

In the new expanded game, class-based player teams will fight for control of planet surfaces and alien artifacts using nanotechnology replicators to build ever more sophisticated weapons and structures. Each of up to 32 players may be a Marine, a Mercenary, or a Skaarj, and can choose among three different classes. Available are the Grunt-soldier type, an all-brawn, all-combat hard hitter who will be able to use all of the heavy weapons in the game; the "Spook," a Light class unit who can move very fast and use all of the more exotic weapons; and a Tech soldier who can control replicator units that build all the weapons, ammunition, and equipment, as well as place force field generators, rocket turrets, health and armor healing stations, sensors, recon and repair robots, and any other items you can build to modify your base.
CG Online concludes the preview mentioning that the game should be out by spring 2002, which seems sooner than some of us might've thought (it surprised me).
