Two days ago, U2XMP had its 10th anniversary!

Follow the link above to remember the history of this great game! And below, read about the awesome game we have been working on.

Here is what we have working so far:

XMP game logic:

4 artifacts, each team starts with 2
Each team has their own amount of energy
Energy is added by energy sources
Players spawn at deploypoints
You can cycle through different deploy points (forwards AND backwards)
Register and unregister yourself at a deploypoint to spawn there
Hack energy sources and deploypoints for your team
Steal artifacts from the enemy by walking through the artifact node OR directly touching the artifact you want, giving you the opportunity to acquire the one power-up you want
Drop artifacts (throwing them in front of the player), pick them back up by walking over them
Artifacts have realistic physical interactions with the world (also get boosted by jump pads)
Artifacts can be returned by auto-return OR picking an artifact of your own team up and carrying it back to your base (this feature has to be tested – is it enjoyable, does it break the game?
If a team has 4 artifacts in their node, they have won the ROUND. we have implemented round-based play. instead of having to reload the whole map, everything resets automatically and you can play another round.
Heal / resupply / re-shield other players by “using” them
XMP movement:

Dodging; walljumping; boost jumping; dodge-jump-dodge way of moving around without re-dodge delay (can start dodge while still in air after dodge-resetting-jump); sprinting; sloping; mantling(!); stamina + skill bars and recharge functionality
Weapons and items:

Ammo clip system, reloading system
Ranger: sniper rifle (only 3 zoom levels), Pistol, Grenade Launcher, Health Pack
Gunner: Rocket Launcher, Trip and Land Mines, Ammo Pack
Tech: Shotgun, Machinegun Turret + Rocket Turret, Field Generator (Force Walls!), Shield Pack
Additional notes:

Custom sounds for the Jump Boost for all three classes for 3 different types: float, ascend, descend
Custom “no energy for jump boost” sound
Custom generator ambient sounds
Lots of bot stuff done, atm in unplayable state because of need of a real map with good pathnodes etc. Architecture like UT3 bots (squads, objectives)
3rd person camera with delay for coolness factor, button to switch 3rd person sides
Payer menu in Scaleform (flash-based HUD), choose class, team, and respawn!
Scaleform HUD taken from UT, information about artifacts, time, stamina, skill, weapon name, shield and health
Scoreboard, scoring for kills and capturing artifacts
Spectating freely or certain players is possible
Demo recording works, doesn’t crash the game :D
Replication has been thought of throughout development, everything listed here works on server (also effects replication etc.)
Some sounds are temporarily taken from u2xmp, like artifact related stuff or weapon sounds
You can capture artifacts by THROWING them into the artifact node
Ugly particle effect while hacking/healing :P
Announcements of important things on hud
Concussion-jump-like behavior of Rocket Launcher rockets
What is missing as of now:

Obviously a lot of items and weapons and sounds
Artwork of any kind, modeling, mapping (only Field Generator model)
Vehicles (we can use the Scorpion from UT for now)
HUD needs to display information about team energy and energy sources
Energy levels per team are there but have no effect on items/capturing artifacts etc.
Proper scoring system, Stats per player
Reviving team mates
Server browser; experiments with Steam have been successful
More HUD/Map orientation support
Hackable doors and such, manned turrets
We are all busy with real life, studying, and work, and have been working on this as a hobby. We would love to welcome new members who can offer what this game needs: UnrealScript coding, creating/animating models, mapping etc.
