Unreal II multiplayer Q&A

Dom · Sep 2, 2003, 03:11 AM

GameSpot have put up a Q&A with Legend Entertainment's Scott Dalton on the up coming Unreal II Multi-Player expansion.

The PC version of Unreal II didn't include any multiplayer support when it shipped in February, but Legend Entertainment had intended from the start to include a multiplayer mode called "XMP" (for "extended multiplayer"). While deadline pressures forced the team to cut the multiplayer support a year before the game's release, Legend got the go-ahead from Atari to start work on XMP several months ago. When it's complete, XMP will be released in an expansion pack that will be freely downloadable for PC owners of Unreal II. The upcoming Xbox version of Unreal II will also feature the XMP mode, which will be playable via Xbox Live.

How are they going to handle copy protection? Unreal 2 doesn't have a cdkey (That I remember, I might have forgotten)
