Request/question for joe....and mutator ideas

[ThePigster]

First off, my question for Joe. Is it possible to get any more dlc for UC2? Of course, everyone would love to see more playable bots and another patch, but I doubt we'd get something like that. So what about just a few mutators? I figured I would ask now since GoW is done along with it's first patch and dlc.

Joe and everyone else here: how about some mutator ideas? Ya know, something the devs actually could make without having to rewrite the game code and without having to make new models and other such time consuming things.

Here's what I would love to get:

Classic UC Hybrid

No melee

First person only

Keep the character weapons with alternate fire mode(freeze, poison, ect.)

Keep character classes

Keep the Speed, Nimble, Heal/Regenerate/Upgrade adrenaline moves(Or all adrenaline moves except predator and homing)

Increase Game speed to match UC1

Keep lock-on(though not crucial)

And the capper: Everyone starts with every Explosive and Energy weapon. I figure it's probably not feasable to have weapon pickups(since it's not in the game code, I'm guessing), but we need a weapon variety for the Classic UC gametype. The weapon cycling would be the same depending on you controller set up. I use the "Sniper" set up, for example, so the black button would cycle through the energy weapons, and white through explosive.


I'm not into coding and creating mods, but I figure this mutator wouldn't require much effort since everything is there already and just needs to be put together(I think).

What would you guys want? Something reasonable that the devs could make quickly.

Well Bro that sounds pretty good

What I'd like to see is for them to tweak their Classic Unreal mutator and make it more true to the game

First Person Only
No Melee
Only the normal abilities (Speed a.k.a. aglity, Heal a.k.a Regeneration, Possibly Invisibilty, and Berserk a.k.a Warrior Spirit or other
I think that is all they really can do because anything else would be asking too much

P.S. - And it would be awesome if they would bring the Lightning Gun, maybe Link Gun back

Joe had said alot of reason why none of those other characters made it was no FP "effects" in first person,like Wraith tpye look, etc.

cause they did'nt have the memory.

Which begs the question: what about Ra? He has flash....

I htik htats all this has been baout is RA, cuase he's a mdeium male with flash.

So many spelling errors j/k

Good point though. Ra wouldn't require anything big to put him in. Just put him as Raiden's alternate and forget about the announcer voice for his name.

But they may have to make a new arm rig for Ra... unless Ra's arms look the same as apophis arms. But i dont even know about the unreal engine and what they do with it... im only thinking about what i would have to do if i was modding the source or gold src engine.

I've completely given up on particular Dev support, DLC, patches, etc... a long time ago. Your best bet would be to wait for a potenital UC3. Pigster, I respect your tenacity and commitment in this matter, but we all know there's very little hope of anything ever being released for this game in the future.

Could just use Anubis' or Apophis' arms.

I had to ask. You never know. I know epic's been saying how much they support their games since GoW came out, so I thought maybe they could support UC2 a little more. Besides, I gave up on the patch and new dlc too, but I figured a mutator would be easy to make and not require too much effort, and the right mutator could bring back old players and UC1 fans.

[SythVenom]

yeah i agree with snoogs. uc3 is something that i am going to wait on.

[ThePigster]

I get the feeling that Epic would have released alot more for UC2 if they didn't have to go through M$ to get stuff on Live. Not only do they have to do their lengthy certification testing, but they also want to charge people for even the smallest downloads. I know they were a little more flexible before the 360 was out, but were still greedy. And look at GoW. Epic had to get a sponsor just to give the community 2 free maps. And it's Microsft's own game that has sold over 2 million copies, alot of 360s, alot of Xbox live accounts, and put alot of money in M$'s pockets.
