Unreal 2, at launch, was the most absolutely 7/10 game I’ve ever played. Just a very generic singleplayer FPS, and not the sequel to Unreal that everyone was hoping for.
I say “at launch,” though, because almost a year after the game’s release, they added multiplayer, and that is still my favorite multiplayer game.
Oh my GAWD 7/10 is NOT mid. I just ranted on another comment about this. 7/10 is a GREAT score. Everyone: please make 5/10 your mid-game point I am so tired of this aaaaaaa
Hahaha that’s totally fair. I’m just peeved that people don’t rate games as a 5/5 = okay game rating. When I see a 7/10 as mediocre, I get a solid flare up of my autism
It’s a very different game, although it does have vehicles, so it has something in common with UT2004 in that way.
Unreal 2’s multiplayer only has one game mode. It’s kind of like capture the flag with some resource management. There are power generators that you need to take for your team in order to use vehicles. You can also capture respawn points which give your team more choices of where to respawn from.
You choose one of three classes when you spawn, with each class having specific weapons. You don’t pick up weapons as you go.
There is a release of the multiplayer that’s available for free here: https://xmpcommunity.com/. After Epic tool all Unreal titles off of digital stores a while ago, they specifically mentioned xmpcommunity.com in a blog post as a way of still playing the game. So it has their blessing.

How does U2 compare to UT2003/4 in multiplayer?

Sounds like the Onslaught mode of UT2004 and 3, though more strategic, especially with the classes
It definitely had a lot in common with Onslaught mode. There was some overlap with the types of vehicles, too.
