Just wondering, any other post-launch goodies for us? (besides maps)

[legacy-Netsurfer733]

I know that getting maps after a console game is launched is a generous thing for dev's to do and I'm very greatful that you guys have already said that you have some planned already =)

But is there anything else you know you won't be able to get in pre-launch that you might in post-launch? (some things that come to mind are clan support, 'stat-levels' a la halo 2, glitch fixes, minor tweaks, lag improvements, etc.)

Thanks *crosses fingers for reply*

Glitch fixes is a must, Ive stopped playing games due to glitches before and the poeple who cheat with them.
I would like new characters as well in a few months, this maybe a bit too much to ask because each one has character specific moves and abilities but it would be cool.

[legacy-Shadowz]

um...theres more than enough characters as it is...i doubt ull use them all...

[legacy-Sgt_Whiskeyjack]

Maybe true but if I devote half the time to it as I have other games then they wouldn't go unused. I'd say 8 heavies, 8 mediums and 8 lights should do it.

[legacy-Shadowz]

^you would NOT use all the chars there giving you righ now,that is if your planning on being good

[legacy-Brandon]

Will this content cost money?

[legacy-Sgt_Whiskeyjack]

I know I wouldn't use them all myself (maybe) but with 8 friends messing around, it would be great to each be a different character of the same agility. You could recognise who your fragging before you do.

[legacy-Netsurfer733]

So I guess the final answer is "just maps" due to dev silence :(

[legacy-Shadowz]

like i said,i dont think theres a need for characers....thats y they jus stuck to 12 characters and even added in a mk character.

[legacy-Retodon8]

The devs are developing; that's what they do.
Since Epic is a nice group of devs, they also actually visit their own forums and give answers to questions if they find the time.
It's just been 4 days, plus there are a lot of other threads hiding this one.
In short, don't just assume because they haven't answered this particular question.

[legacy-Netsurfer733]

Well right, but I'm not asking for characters, I'm simply asking for things like glitch fixing/patching, at least. Then, maybe, some (probably) easy to insert features like the ability to walk and such (not characters though) =)

[legacy-Shadowz]

lol....yea there gonna fix gitches....thats what there busy doing now,making more maps n fixing glitches.

[joeGraf]

The silence was just silence. We're not telling what's coming. Why ruin the anticipation?

[legacy-Netsurfer733]

I know, I know...<sigh>...it's just hard amidst all the hype :D Thnx 4 ur reservation i guess lol!

[legacy-OnagiPower]

isnt there 14 caharcters?... anmd i doubt they are going to add in characters, but im guessing that the online menu wont be the same as the demo, it will probably resemble halo 2 with a ranking system, and custom game types

[legacy-OUCHY_SR]

I think there is enough of everything in this game. Adding new charactors or weapons requires more fine tuning and balance issues then most players realize.

Heck, I still ove the classic UT where everyone used the same charactor.

Maps and skins would be the only thing I would wan from DLC.

[legacy-OnagiPower]

something tells me that the main resason that epic is keeping it a a secret, is because they got to see how the game works, and depending if people find certain glitches, that epic didn't see then epic may not be able to release more maps or chars, because that could add to the chaos.

but then again hopefull uc2 will have no terrible glitches like is halo2, but i do kinda like harmless glitches, that don't hurt anybody just have something unexpected but fdasinating happen, you know.

[ShredPrince]

Chances are there will be no signifigant glitches.

Though I don't think Epic does Beta-Testing and I think they might should. Example the exploit in the Demo...ya know which one.

[legacy-Rogosh]

Most any game company developing a game, including Epic, beta-tests their games. However, not every developer allows for a public beta-test. To put all that work into something and not test it would be moronic.

[legacy-C3RV3ZA]

raiden and I have recorded all the glitches that we knew about and sent them to the developers and told them how to do them. as far as i know from raiden who sent off the videos that all glitches have been fixed

[legacy-Flakmaster]

How old is the demo?

[legacy-iReProphecy]

It came out in Feb. So not real old. But im assuming epic has a good plan on what there doing.

[legacy-C3RV3ZA]

i thought the demo was made back in august.. just released in february

[legacy-SimpthePimp2]

heres my hopes for post launch goodies.

1. new skins for the charaters, mabye differnt colors, such as mabye having anubis being black with gold trim, or say brock and laurens out fits have the red adn black reversed. ( just a thought new colors would be a easy way out )

2. Possiblly new charaters, not a must but would be kewl. perhapse charaters from past Unreals, or even mabye a couple of other mortal combat charaters, aka sub zero.

3. new maps, well it coems with 40, how many more maps do people need?? seriously??? well mabye a few more could help in a few months after i master these 40.

4. my number one thing i would love to see, MORE RANGED WEAPONS, 2 catigories and well 4 weapons in each, not even close to anough. i think a game based on guns could give us more then 8 guns....and well the possibllity of carrying more then 3...would be tight.

5. mabye a second melee weapon for our charaters to pick from would be kewl, sayign that this one has the abilty to damage more during attacks, while this one deflect more shots.

just my hopes.

[legacy-Shadowz]

^only one thing i have to comment on that. the melee weapon,i dont think it would be damage over deflect or deflect over damage i would think they would make it speed over damage or damage over speed...but then again im not a dev from epic and i have no clue but i think that would be the logical way to do it.

[legacy-Freaky_kid]

hmm...download content...

Characters:
Unlike the other unreal games the characters are more than just skins, they have plenty of different abilitys and coup de gras' and other stuff. i gess it would be alot harder to make new characters for UC2 than other unreal games so probably not. and isnt 14 enough?

Maps:
i bet more maps get made, they did have more maps for UC1 so im guessing epic will do the same for UC2

Weapons:
Ild say there are enough weapons as it is. what other weapons can there be anyway without making a weapon with a stupidly big advantage over other weapons?

thats what i think anyway...

[legacy-niqz]

Yeah, I'm thinking we're just going to get maps and patches from the DLC.

[legacy-BlackKnightOfH8]

Hopefully there will be more UT 99 remakes *cough*CTF-Face,Deck 16,HyperBlast*cough*
