review DF: Xtreme 2
 

like to know them who already got the game "DF: Xtreme 2"

how you all like the game and any remarks you have about it ether bad or good like to hear all about your feel on this game.

i thinking of buying it, but like to know how other feel about it before i spend the money on this game.

tell you the truth i really not crazy on getting it right now i'm but i 50/50 on that as will.

It's poor. It has zero redeeming qualities. It's probably a bit more gameplay-based online than DFX but I still reckon it sucks. Single player should have been left out. Very little new content.

Its good.

I don't agree with chrispy on zero redeeming qualities - it has introduced new "technology" to the NL games - such as auto-tagging for squad mates, squad patches on your uniform and vehicals


it may not have much new content, for those of you who have played every DF game out there, But for me, having only really played LW and BHD, there are tons of new stuff.

And even for the LW items, I had fun playing DFX2 on a map made with bunkers from LW - its not "new", but it feels new as I haven't seem them in years.

A whole new world as opened up for me in the world of map making.


DFX2 certainly isn't the greatest game out there, and it may not be as full of a game as bhd, or jo, but its still fun, and I will be playing it for the next few months until AF is released.

if you are a mapper. then it's good.

for me it has opened up LOTS of new mapping ideas. it'll hold me over until DF AF comes out.

So it's not GREAT but it is good for us mappers. they have fixed some major bugs such as losing vehicle sound when you restart a map.

They have activated some of the leftover options from BHD such as the armory.

Lots of items for mapping. the new ones are, same launcher attachable by BOTS(they'll shoot stingers). Drivable dump truck. large jungle trees now have winter versions. A group of tall trees with snow on them. and some new destroyable desert trees. some rouble blockage pieces........ and that's all I can recall at the time.

Weapons are better balanced.

You have some new abilities such as being able to spawn into moving vehicles. Your parachute is now activated by the player using the space bar (or what ever you have your jump key set to). which is cool cuz you can do HALO drops.

you can also now start you helicopters flying in the air. rather then on the ground and Wait for them to spin up.

there's some more stuff to it also. such as better looking graphics. new terrains. and some really perdy lookin' environments. ;)

I think it's worth buying M8. ;)

skin killer i have to ask this anyways does it have any female players charters like JOTR had in it?

i do recall DF2 had them in the game too

Nope. it does have new avatars but you're not able to change them. it is based on what type of game you are playing. IE: Snow Desert or jungle.

IMHO, as I have said before, DFX2 is just a remake of DFX with MODs installed! I feel that NOVALOGIC is just is making money using the hard work of people who have spent many hours putting together MODs for DFX. There is really nothing new in DFX2. Granted, DFX2 is a slight improvement on the Original DFX.
NOVALOGIC was in such a rush to start distribution of DFX2, that the game was delivered to stores with most of the same bugs and glitches that were in the first DFX. !

Hopefully, AF will be better !!

JMHO

every one keeps saying that DFX2 is a remake of DFX with mods already installed... what mods?

They never said it was going to be any thing more then what it is - they said it was going to be a game with game play similar to BHD, with new terrains and items from the other games, with some tweaking of network code.

Which is what we have

well like I said before.

it has all hte items from JO and the new ones I have listed above. and they fixed some bugs and gave us a few new options........

MODs availiable for DFX:

Bearforce mod (BFM)

Gunneys' world MOD

Deep Jungle MOD

DFX Special OPs MOD (SO MOD)

etc..........

Also not counting all the weapon mods for DFX.

All these are now part of the NEW (lol) DFX2 (with little exceptions) !

Umm sorry no there is no mod content from any of those mods. I know I have every file from the .pff files extracted and have been going over them for a new mod. BTW I am one of the main creators of the SO mod, as well as was a private beta tester for DFX2.

So your saying your internet Moms SP map shouldnt be in the game? Wait till I tell her!

I'm not saying that these items were taken from MODs. These items were taken from earlier Delta Force games (JO, BHD ...etc ... ) and were used by MODDERS in their DFX MODs.

You said That means you use NOVALOGICs' items also in your MODs. My point made!

Those items belong to NOVALOGIC's copyright.

NOVALOGIC just took the Modders ideas and included those items in DFX2.

Same or different items? What does it matter? DFX2 still looks like a MOD !

don't be pushy about it guys

you said how you feel about it, thats cool leave it at that ok

I'm cool, William!

Sorry if I started to cross the line! I didn't mean to be pushy!

But, just wanted my point made!

No hard feelings JET !!! OK !!

Actually you're probably right there, but even then I still found the game pretty much boring after playing it both in SP and MP. I was also a private beta tester for DFX2 as well as JET, and back then I was sort of interested in what was happening with the game, but it sort of wore off after a while.

But IcI is right, Nova said it was just going to be a more balanced version of DFX, and if that's what you want, you should get it.

@ skinny, I'm also happy they fixed the vehicle sound bug thing. I think it was also fixed in DFX (I and possibly a few others reported it back when Nova had the DFX beta .exe thread, and it got fixed, yay!). :D

@ JET, LOL. Nah, was the SP AI.

you're just not feeling it chris.....

it is indeed a better version than DFX. it's nice to have all those items and options in a STOCK game. instead of mods.......

Actualy Dave using old Nova items for a mod is different than Nova using them for a new game they do it every time. And the truth is every Nova game from BHD on up is a C4 mod, and TFD was a DFLW mod. Funny how we all forget that.

But you corrected yourself by stating what you meant earlier so Im cool as well and i never have hard feelings towards anyone.

You are Right and Nova should look at the mods and see what was done for ideas for the next game.

Oh and William, we were not arguing or flaming. its a debate and we both kept it clean.

Well that's all it is, just a pretty much better version of DFX. That's exactly what people got, and I reckon a lot of people probably got pissed off because they made a silly assumption or heard a rumour.

And don't talk to me about feeling!
