I like Invasion as a gametype, in which you and your team are deposited on some arbitrary DeathMap to fend off wave after wave of unreal-style monsters intending to gut you. There’s a brief respite between waves to let you catch your breath and glug a well-needed slug from the nerve-calming beercan until the next…
UT2006 is a demake of Unreal Tournament for the Atari 2600 the project is currently in development. The latest beta (version 6) is by all accounts a fun romp in retro land. It is available to be played through the browser or downloaded as a rom and played with an emulator or one of the…
The Unreal Series is back on sale at gog.com, the whole series can be had for (probably) less than your morning coffee these days.So now would be a good time to grab it and join in on one of the daily games. Looks like we missed the 20th anniversary of the first Unreal game and…
Amazing prototype by Ryan C. Gordon (@icculus) with the introduction of UT99 running natively in a browser via emscripten.
The Different Flavours Of MonsterHunt From what I can gather, there are several versions of the MH mutator around: Stock MonsterHunt. Affectionately known as “MonsterHunt 1”. The last version was 504, so it may by listed as “MonsterHunt504” in some places. MonsterHunt2. MH2Gold or MH2Package. This was developed in the light of limited features in…
As a gametype, I love ONSLAUGHT. DeathMatch (DM) and Team DeathMatch (TDM) gametypes have a simple no-brainer goal: racking up kills. Skill plays a part in it, as does knowledge of the maps: knowing areas to hide, places to jump, safe and dangerous zones, routes to navigate, etc. These attributes also help on Capture The…
Running UT99 natively in Linux has always been a dark art, more so of late with the increasing popularity of 64bit distributions. The only agreed solutions for running a GL renderer seemed to be Running an Nvidia card which is fine providing you already had an Nvidia card or where in the market for one.…
For the initiated, MonsterHunt is – as the name suggests – about hunting down monsters. It shares many characteristics with the original Unreal game, in which the player is moving from stage to stage, solving puzzles (which generally amount to “how do I get through this level? Where’s the switch/lever/tile that opens the gate/raises the…
Why is the speed so bad when downloading maps? When switching to a map that the player actually lacks, the server can offer it as a downloadable file, meaning the player can sit back and let it download into the client-side cache, then recommence play. There are two downloadable locations: the gaming server itself…
Updates to link configurations are now available on the server for eleven (11) of our existing Onslaught (ONS) maps, without doubt this should help mix it up a bit as you play through. Jump on the server and give them a try.
