Unreal 2 Multiplayer Patch Announced

Posted by simoniker on Saturday July 5, 2003 @04:51AM from the announcement-actually-quite-unreal dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to HomeLan Fed's story indicating Epic have announced a free multiplayer add-on for Unreal 2 is in development. This announcement comes in an official Unreal 2 messageboard thread posting from Epic's Mark Rein, and briefly states: "Lack of multiplayer is a temporary issue with Unreal 2. Legend are currently reviving their XMP design for multiplayer and it will be released as a FREE downloadable add-on for people who own Unreal 2." Might this partly be because developers Legend are doing multiplayer work for the alleged Xbox conversion of Unreal 2, after the so-so reception of the PC version?

I'll be glad to see U2 get multiplayer since I wasn't happy with UT2k3 after Unreal Tournament. Myself, along with a lot of players never migrated to UT2k3 since it seemed like a downgrade in everything except graphics.
