UT2004 MODs

JKMakowka

With so many Mods to choose from, here is a small list of Mods that I tested and are worth downloading. Additions are welcome

Alien Swarm ( http://www.blackcatgames.com/swarm/ ) Singleplayer & Multiplayer (coop); Action Strategy; Topdown view; full price game quality; ~110MB

Clone Bandits ( http://www.demiurgestudios.com/CloneBandits/ )
Multiplayer (team); FPS similar to onslaught; Fun post apocalyptic setting; above average Mod quality; ~50MB

Red Orchestra ( http://redorchestramod.gameservers.net/ )
WW2 Multiplayer FPS (team); Infantry and Tanks; Winner of the "Make something Unreal contest"; full price game quality; ~550MB

Shattered Oasis ( http://www.shatteredoasis.com/ )
Multiplayer FPS (team); Post apocalyptic setting; Gameplay: TeamDM & Mixture Onslaught/Domination; above average Mod quality; ~290MB


Unreal Tournament Expanded Multiplayer ( http://www.free-monkey.com/main/ )
Multiplayer FPS (team); Mixture Onslaught/Tribes2/TeamFortress; Originally the multiplayer expansion of Unreal2; full price game quality; ~290MB


One of the reasons I post this is because these are great Mods, but there arn't very many people playing them. In other words: get everyone you know to try these out

P.S: Get Linux installers for all the Mods above here:

I've got to say that Red orchestra is a truly amazing mod, (infact the only one i play) its a shame there are so few servers for such great mods. Cant quite figure out why epic had such bad luck in this area given all that they put into it.

I tried Red Orchestra, and liked it. The tanks feel "right" compared to the real ones, The rifle performance is pretty good. the maps are HAAARD (as they should be). :-). So other than Austin TX based server, are there any other good ones?

I've played Clone Bandits and its a lot of fun, too, it needs more maps though.

strike force is good (www.strikeforce2004.com)

SAS: into the lion's den has to be mentioned for it's british-ness (sas.jolt.co.uk)

frag ops is reasonable as long as you don't mind buying your weapons and ammo CS-style, but they do have some nice models.

i liked troopers, but some of the maps were borked. they may have fixed this, i dunno

Im in a mod, but its way too early to play it up. What sucks though is the time its all finished. Unreal Engine 3 will be out.

Also I would love to play mods. But simply dont have the bandwidth to download. I think alot of people forget that. Even people with higher bandwidths. You have to go through all these hoops on file planet and other sites to get it. Thats why even things like CBP people never seems to have.

There should be some sort of CD-R service where you can order CDs with those mods on for approx the price of shipping. There is something like that for Linux CDs, but there is probably some legal reason why this can't be done for UT2004 Mods

PC-Gameing Mags, could maybe include more of thse mods on their DVDs, but again there might be legal issues.

sundance

PCG and PC Zone in the uk often include mods and the CBPs on their DVDs. that's how i got the ECE and how i've played all the mods i mentioned. PCG did one disc that had 2.5GB worth of UT2004 mods alone on it one month, including air buccaneers, alien swarm, deathball, frag ops, jungle warfare,, neo tokyo, red orchestra, troopers and unwheel.

One of the download services (File Front?) will burn and send you a CD, though that costs money for shipping and burnig), but they do it.

I'm pretty sure Fileplanet offer CD burning services for the price of the shipping and CD-R. I'm certain they did last year, haven't checked recently though.
Probably a good idea if there are a lot of big files that you want to get, and you don't have broadband.

I felt RO and Troopers to be "slow"...
UTXMP is like Tribes2, but, just as with the U2 version, it kinda dragged..

I'm in on a game of AlienSwarm any day though.

All I play lately is Alien Swarm. I love the co-op aspect. I am currently on a team trying to put out a community campaign. AS has a small but dedicated community.

Do you want fileplanet and gamespy to know your email and home address?

Sorry, its just not worth it once my information makes the advertisment and spam rounds.

Prob the best mod out there. I played this one just after I played HL2 and still enjoyed it.


Clone Bandits was very good too. Easyly the most fun.

Damn, that's why I like these games. Bellycrawling through the snow, hiding under a tree with my trusty scoped Mosin Nagant Rifle, ready to pop Nazi Heads while they least expect it. Or grinding through the contryside in a T-34, and using a Tnak like it was made to be used. mmmMMMmmm. I like the games slow. Regular UT Maps like 2 Forts just leave me cold.

UT maps like 2Forts? That's a map from Team Fortress!

Jes

Quake Team Fortress!

I feel like bashing people's heads whenever they say that map was first introduced in TFC...

thats the major problem, i have red orchestra, and i see maybe 5 servers that have people in them, and when i join one with a decent amount of people it's on a map i dont like.

Just stay on the server and vote for a better map on the next level change
RedOrchestra is worth suffering through the (very) few bad maps

That's why I wrote Team Fortress, not Team Fortress Classic.
