Don't know if you guys have heard about this but Valve hired the guys who made the UT2004 mod and rebuilt it! The game is completely free on Steam and offers loads of things (The Source SDK is quite interesting).

 

It's a top down shooter and it looks incredible, it's supposed to launch today but has been delayed by a few hours. Don't know when it will launch.

Here are the requirements:

OS: Windows® 7 / Vista / Vista64 / XP

Processor: Pentium 4 3.0GHz

Memory: 1 GB for XP / 2GB for Vista

Graphics: DirectX 9 compatible video card with 128 MB, Shader model 2.0. ATI X800, NVidia 6600 or better

Hard Drive: At least 2.5 GB of free space

Sound: DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card

 

What's your thoughts about this game TIF?

Steam says it should be available in 1 hour. I'm going to give it a go, it looks very different. Would anybody want to have a TIF co-op game as a first play when it comes online? (Thinks of the lols while we try to figure out the controls)

Hmm, it seems like it's taking 2 hours again or something.

I was going to eat hot dogs for dinner tonight. I think I will settle for cereal.

Ok, installing now. Add ultimania92 if you want to play when it's installed.

Also, if you can't seem to download it, try changing your download location. Japan isn't having overload issues, so you'll probably be fine downloading from there.

 

To change your download location, go to Steam > Settings > Downloads + Cloud

Servers are too busy Argh!!!! :( any reviews yet? first impressions?

 

EDIT: Downloading at 3KB/s ohhhh yeaaa :D

 

 

I can beat that with a constant DL speed of 975 bytes/s earlier. Currently its wavering around the 20KB/s.

 

For those who have managed to download it, is it any good?

I was about to post 'I am getting around 360KB/s peak' But then I looked back at steam all of a sudden it had dropped right down;

Downloading now. Looks awesome. :3

 

After playing it, it's pretty awesome. Got two levels down playing with a friend, Tech/Medic for the first, Officer/Medic for the second, me being medic. It's intense on the harder difficulties, especially when you're holding off hordes of aliens while your Tech is hacking something and all you've got is an assault rifle and heal beacons. D:

 

We called it after we kept getting swamped at the first hacking area on level 3. We made it to the boss on the bridge a couple of times, man is it woah. Had some troubles with lag since my friend was hosting it in Brisbane and I'm kinda far away from there, but it wasn't horribly bad. Got me a hat for TF2, too. Also, Tesla Cannon = [bleep]ing awesome. I'm at level 6 at the moment, and three levels away from my Medigun. D:

 

Gonna pick it up again once a couple more of my friends pick it up and we can fill out the other two spots. I like medic'ing, but Special Weapons seems pretty awesome. They get a minigun. : (
