Hey, would you look at that, I am making a post about how great Unreal Championship 2 is. Well, what can I say. The core gameplay hasn't changed since the demo, and the demo was rock solid. The additional weapons are great, considering my two favorite weapons weren't in the demo, the shotgun-esque flak cannon, and the ever popular shock rifle. I seem to be flying through the single player which isn't that bad (especially because I changed it to novice for one level, then forgot it was on and beat one more level with it). The story is engrossing and since the game moves at a lightning fast pace (and from the looks of it will be over at one too) the story keeps moving enough to keep you interested. And I haven't given up hope on Apophis just yet...
Anyway, that's not what Unreal is about. I tried playing online for a little bit. It is pretty good except for one match that was lag-tastic. But the host didn't know his upload speed so he was probably just hosting, not being aware that his connection fornicated with several donkeys. One thing I knew before the game came out was the games ommision of Live 3.0 features (voice messages, clans, etc) While it still works, I just liked having all those features even if I didn't use them. Hopefully lag will decrease and I didn't play on any dedicated servers yet. And maybe if Jared (Darkness) wanted to use his super Jesus black magic internet and host some games...
Oh yeah, I also played Halo 2 after the update was released. I noticed that melee was stronger and dual wielding was weaker. Not so much about nades. However the game still felt lame. You have to whore, camp, rinse, lather, repeat in order to get anywhere. Not to mention having teammates with the mental capacity of a sasquach fetus with down syndrome sure as hell doesn't help the situation. As for a link, you can find some videos of the yet to be released downloadable maps here.
