Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict

Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict is a first-person shooter video game based on the Unreal series of games. It is currently being developed by Epic Games and will be published by Midway for a April 18, 2005 release on the Xbox game console. It is a direct sequel to the 2001 game Unreal Championship, which itself is a console version of the popular game series Unreal Tournament. Unreal Championship 2 like its predecessor is being specifically designed from the ground up for the Xbox console and takes full advantage of the Xbox Live, gaming arena.

Gameplay

In the game a player can choose from fourteen different characters from the Unreal universe. Unreal Championship 2 is expected to feature new gametypes, new weapons; including the use of never-before seen melee weapons, and more adrenaline powers than ever before.

Unreal Championship 2 attempts to combine the genres of first-person shooter with third-person fighter games like Mortal Kombat. To aid in this new kind of combined game-play, a secret character is included in the game from the Mortal Kombat universe, the Elder God Raiden.

In third-person mode a player can use guns as well as melee weapons. Many players learn to use guns in third-person because of the extra sense of thier surroundings it gives, as well as the ability to switch more easily to melee mode which can literally diflect bullets. In fact, one can redirect a rocket or sniper bullet directly back to the person who shot it.

The game also features, in addition to the classic Unreal multiplayer, a single player story or ladder that uses all the character in the game. All of the characters have specific adrenalin and air combos and also race-specific combos. The player can modify gameplay with mutators such as "high speed mode", "Low Grav", "Big Head" (Each kill increases the size of your head), "Vampire" (steals life from your victim), and more.
