A lot of people hate this game for its lack of ties to to the existing lore.

I hate it for the gut-punch ending.

The maps in this game are so linear they are borderline on rails. Also, it did the you get an OP gun at the end gimmick before HL2.

I honestly have no idea why some people think this game was bad. I played through it multiple times as a teenager, and it was always fun, and I noticed new things each playthrough.

The "lore" or overall setting? I've yet to play it, does it have a similar emphasis of visiting areas like old temples and castles, green vegetation with cool blue waters, and a race similar to the Nali and their plight?

Reminder that the story of Unreal2 makes no sense if you didn't play the U1 expansion pack, because it's actually a sequel to Return To Na'Pali and not Unreal1.

Where can you even get Unreal 2 nowadays?
It's harder to find than Doom 2.

You mean the physical copy? Just go on eBay. If you mean online, Unreal 2 is freeware now.

Nobody ever talks about this game, how could it have saved anything?

U2XMP was amazing, though. Shame nobody played it.

I will never forgive them for unceremoniously killing your crew. Like, how did the plot benefit from that? Answer: It didn't.

By releasing the worst iteration of the engine and ending the single player campaign due to being complete shit.
I think you meant "killed." A common typo, the keys are next to each other. It's weird how often this happens on this board, it's like it's full of attention-starved fatsos.

XMP was a miracle.

I'd like to say it died so that 2k3 could live, but that would require people to have played it in the first place.
also Ne'Ban is best boy

I assume you mean UT2k4. That's the one with vehicles. But yes, UT2k4's Onslaught mode was the coolest shit. I lived to pancake people with the hovercraft, or clip them with the car that has extending blade arms.
I do prefer class-based combat though, having 3 distinct classes in XMP really increased the replayability IMO.

It felt like a step down in atmosphere and movement. It's not bad, but was a disappointment. Didn't delivery on a lot of promises. Iirc a lot of planned stuff was cut for earlier release.

I agree with the points here + the slow movement speed.
I am actually pleasantly surprised to see how much love for the game there is in this thread. I played it upon release and enjoyed it but in retrospect it didn't have the same magic as Unreal. Good on everyone here though for not jumping on some hate bandwagon

Is there any good reason why it was so different from the first game? The only explanation I can think of is that they were aiming for consoles, assumed that nobody played Unreal 1 there, and decided to reboot the entire thing.

They cut all the dialogue choices and such from Xbox. You can't walk around the ship, you just kinda teleport from conversation to conversation.

This could definitely be. As usual the weapon lineup had some cool features despite being very human centric. The 4 target rocket launcher was neat.
