Ravaged December DLC etc

Submitted by chipper on Sun, 16/12/2012 - 10:17

anyone on steam with this game would have noticed this months update. So here are the details from http://www.2dawn.com/

“We released an update today which fixes an issue players were having seeing servers in the server browser. We also fixed an issue which was causing the purchased game to appear as a DEMO for some players.

As a “thank you” for your patience we decided to include some DLC content that was not scheduled for release until next week, so enjoy an early present! You will also notice changes to the squad interface and that squad voice over IP (VoIP) has been implemented. Communicate quickly with your squad to attack objectives and the enemies by pressing “B.” Here is a quick overview on the new content that we added to this update:

– New weapons
– New unlock system
– New squad interface
– Voice Over IP (VOIP)
– Fix for the Server browser
– Fix for when a purchased Ravaged copy was showing up as a DEMO

RTCW2

Submitted by chipper on Sun, 30/08/2009 - 22:14

I’ll keep this brief as i can’t be stuffed doing a long review. After much anticipation i picked up RTCW2 this week. There has been a fair bit of hype and bluster about this game and with mixed accounts from the leaked beta i wasn’t really sure what to expect.

First impressions of the multiplayer version are: – the interface and game browser blow. – the game itself isn’t bad. it feels a bit clumsy to start with but so did etqw. – In terms of pace it is no where near as quick as et but is probably on par with etqw. – not sure what to make of the whole vail thing. i like my games relatively simple (et is still the best game ever in my books) so it is hard to adapt to this new dimension. – weapons seem fine but i haven’t played with all of them yet. – there seem to be a lot of lag spikes in game with players going to 999 ping for no apparent reason and servers failing.

First impressions of the singleplayer version are:
