Has anyone seen the new UT2003? and the new "Bombing Run" mode?
The graphics are, as you would expect, great, but the game takes 3GB of disk space to install!!! :blink:
But Bombing Run is cool - for all those who know Games Workshop - it is kinda like Dungeon Bowl (one of the variations on Blood Bowl). For those who don't, here is a breif explaination:
The ball starts sat in the middle of the level, and both sides have a small portal-looking thing that is their goal. Each team must try to get the ball and either shoot it through their oponents 'goal' for 4 points or leap through the goal with it for 7 points. If you leap through, you tend to die, but everyone respawns after a goal anyway, so it isn't that bad if you can manage it The only problem with being the ball carrier is that you have a nice halo/sphere around you so that you stand out from miles off! Oh, and the fact that shooting while holding ht ball doesn't shoot, it just lauches the ball can also cause problems when someone infront of you is trying to gun you down although you can use the fact that you can't shoot when you've got the ball to your advantage
The only bad thing I can say about UT2003 from my experience is that they have removed Assault. No longer can you attack from a beach-head or conquer a castle Shame really, but I think Bombing Run goes towards making up for it
[edit] Oooops, for those of you who don't mind d/ling 90MB (plus the fairly small demo patch) the demo is available from the downloads section of www.unrealtournament2003.com
