So I got my hands on this game.
It's pretty good, the graphics are very pretty. The gameplay is kinda fun, though there's almost nobody playing online and the bots' AI either sucks or is impossibly and frustratingly good so you don't really want to play team games (it seems like your own AI team is fucking useless while the enemy team is really good about snagging points and whatnot). The gun designs are ugly. I've said it before, whoever designed the guns should feel ashamed of themselves. The guns are also very imbalanced. Some guns, like the flak cannon and minigun, are leagues better than guns like the goop gun (which is useless in this game). The plasma rifle was improved a little from the previous game because now the bolts move faster. Most of the guns which shoot slow-moving projectiles, like the plasma rifle, the minigun's secondary attack, the goop gun, and the secondary shock rifle attack, they all suck in a game where people move very quickly.
The rocket launcher, minigun, flak cannon, sniper rifle, and primary shock rifle are pretty much the only guns worth using. The flak cannon can instagib someone at close range. Compare that to having to hit them a half dozen times with the goop gun, which shoots slow, has piss poor accuracy, and has slow moving projectiles.
The vehicles are pretty much the same. The one truly awesome thing in this game, and I laugh every time it happens, is that when you squash someone beneath your Manta (you have to squash them, not just run into them) the announces goes PAN-CAKE in the most ridiculous voice I've ever heard. It's hilarious.
Anyways, the character models are beautiful and very well done, but there aren't very many of them. Two or three faces, and either a male or female body with some swappable parts. It's not too little, but it's not a lot, and it also kinda sucks because there are no cool non-human models. Just dumb looking robots, though the kroot-looking monster aliens are fairly cool. You could totally fap to the face of the trashy chick in the campaign if you've got graphics turned up.
Anyways, my verdict is: Don't buy at full price. If you have ut2k4 you're not missing that much for that price.
