UT2K3 Demo OUT!

[Warren]

I LOVED the original Unreal 1, because of the story. You crash land on a planet, and you gotta get off. Sounds simple, and in most games, you'd just run around killing stuff and somehow succeed. But that's not the case in Unreal. Throughout the game, stories about the native people of Na Pali unvail, primarily their religion. You read excerps of their bible, and realize that what's in the bible, is happening on the planet. The bible says that "demons will falls from the skies on flaming chariots to slaughter the untouchables". And well, that's what happens, demons (the bad guys) appear on the planet, and they enslave (or put in prison, or ghettos) the natives. You travel through large towns, small villages, caves, giant churches, and castles larger than any other building I've seen in any other game (one of the last castles is made into a mountain, it is so huge, that when you're on the top, you can jump off and it takes A LONG time to reach the bottom, you spend hours in this one castle, and the complexity is mind boggling). You go into prison cells in castles and free natives. Then you're captured and sent to a large space station run by the demons. The natives are forced to farm crops to freed the demons. Ultimately, you find a spacecraft and escape the planet, only to run out of fuel and drift aimlessly in space to die. There is a sequel though, Unreal: Return to Na Pali, where the spacecraft crashes back on the planet, and you gotta do everything over again, but I've never played that game, its gotten bad reviews. I just REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY hope Unreal 2 can live up to it's predecessor. I read that it'll be in the same universe, but a new planet. You won't be alone in the game either, you'll be with a team and stuff, like a big war or something. I don't know, but we'll see. If you've never played it, play Unreal 1, one of the greatest games ever.

Let me say this is a diferent way:
What I'm playing CS I get a more realist feeling then when I'm playing UT(any).

By far UT has more polygons and bla bla bla... but the thing is UT is meant to be, as someone said, more arcadish.

Yes I know UT is futurist, its not the design I'm judging here, but the weapons on CS are much more real.
CS(HL) is much more photo-realist.

Just to end, I WAS a died hard player of CS.. there's to much cheating these days, people are so lame.
Good old days off beta 3.1(best CS ever ).

I got bored of it a few levels in. Was very cool, especially the waterfall bit at the beginning though.

CS is realistic by no means. Merely an illusion of realism.

Beta 1 was the schizm! I still have all the old maps. There's only a few, and they're square rooms, where the CTs have to get to the other side to free the hostages, horrible mapping, and the characters were blocky and hilarious. It's come a long way since then. Yes, CS is meant to be a more realistic game, and it is, Unreal is what it's name says, unreal. I thought one of the most realistic games I've ever played was Max Payne, that game was terrifying! The part with the screaming woman and the dead baby and the broken crib, it's too realistic and scary for me, but that was the point of the game. Hmm, I should play it again.

Only Alice has been able to match up to the fear in Max Payne. Very creepy, psychological type of creepy.

. The site can be a pain to navigate, but once you get into the popup Flash portion of the site, it's under Downloads --> Misc.

It just fowards me to some search engine called Netster?
