As for me, I love UFO2000, I play it everyday. The internet servers normally have at least one person online now so it is twice as fun

[Blehm 98]

I played you yesterday and the day before, mustang!

[UnknownWarrior]

I beat Mustang 5 times in a row but it did get boring because everyone else beat me

[Blehm 98]

I really suck at that game. I really don't know why that is so :crying:

[Black Dash]

I only played the demo... is the game good?

demo? what demo?
UFO2000 is a multiplayer game based on the X-Com saga: http://ufo2000.sourceforge.net

[Black Dash]

OOps! I made a mistake... sorry!

[Serge]

By the way, a new version of UFO2000 has been released.
So those who answered "Whats UFO2000?" at this poll, have a chance to try it.
Just go to http://ufo2000.sourceforge.net and download it.

I can hardly find opponent, and when I do, something goes wrong, thus none of my games was finished.

But I like it.

Well, looking at server statistics, seems that you have played 5 games for the last week. One of them was stopped because one of the players just exited from the game (at least server interprets it so), and 4 remaining games were finished without any problems.

http://ufo2000.lxnt.info/results.php

I'm really very curious, is the server statistics wrong?
If the statistics is wrong, that's a bug that needs to be fixed as soon as possible, the server should log any errors encountered. If it misses some problems, that's not good at all. So the developers are even unaware of your problems and therefore can't fix them in the next versions

Providing feedback and bugreports is very important for making the game better. Critical bugfixes (fixes of the bugs that make the game unplayable) are the top priority task.

Now about finding the opponents. Have you tried UFO2000 Pager? It will notify you if somebody logs on to the server. You can find a link to it on UFO2000 home page in the 'downloads' section.

But I like it.

[dipstick]

I have only had it for about a week or so, and I constantly pester j'ordos to play Anybody else though, welcome to PM me. Although I must warn you I am VERY new and need a decent squad. The only squads I have I pinched off of cpl.

[Kamikazee]

I love it but its annoying as heck when it gets updated and you have to uninstall it, install new one switch squad files (which doesn't work sometimes) only to find its been updated again so you cant play!!

They should do upgrades as they are smaller, easier to use and downright better.

but otherwise. it rocks!

But you do not have to uninstall the game. The game upgrades to a new version without any problems (just install it over your existing ufo2000 directory), all your configuration and squad files are preserved!

but otherwise. it rocks!

I agree, but upgrades are also more difficult to create and ufo2000 installer is not so large (I know, it has currently become larger because of the music included, but we will also make smaller versions of installers with no music in the future or make the music optionally downloadable).

Heh, right after my post I played with j'ordos, and 3 times with other players next day. Maybe I just had tough luck before.

And the problems... Well, my oponents had to leave the game, nothing technical.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

hmmm...ya..1 person does not equal a game...u need 2...this seeems to be a prob.

we need an irc channel eh? ....
ppl don't like sitting alone watching a black screen hoping for some company ...

[Exo2000]

Perhaps some way of showing who's online, right here, right now? Or do we have one and have I lost the link to it again?

[G4m13ier]

I like x-com multiplayer.... the screen is slightly to small... maps are small.. very little people online. Other than that KICK donkey!

[The Master Maniac]

Man, I have a terrible win/loss ratio so far. What is wrong with me?

Heh, otherwise, UFO2000 is a great idea, and it's, best of all, great fun to play. Excellent work so far, guys--keep it up (and if there's anything I can do to help, which there probably isn't, I'd be glad to). Best thing about it is how balanced the gameplay has been made in comparison with the first version I got to play (heavy plasma fire rate, etc.)

Guess I have to upgrade to the newer version, it seems.

[The Master Maniac]

If everybody had blaster launchers, it would be pretty...messy. Well, I guess the option of having the game get messy wouldn't hurt...

[Twilight Owl]

you cant use armor

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

what do you mean? no tanks? or no personal armor/power armor/fly suits? if second, you're wrong - armor for soldiers is already implemented

the maps are to small

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

6x6 is too small??

how about units getting beatter as time progresses

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

how do you imagine this at the current state of the game? player who have played more games will have better soldiers than his opponent...

[The Master Maniac]

I personally think that the coolest thing about UFO2000 has to be the individual hairstyles for the soldiers on the battlescape. That is AWESOME! Stupid question, really, but is there any way to incorporate that into the original game? That's really, really cool.

[Twilight Owl]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

no you can change the skin of a unit but i dount change thare stats/armor value
which is why my scuad is all whareing t-shirts (cause thay look K001)

nad how come if you change your skin to alien how come it doesint change the stat preamiters

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

changing the skin WILL change armor values.
i'd wish to look how your squad will fight against a squad which is wearing power armor

Edited by Twilight Owl, 26 August 2004 - 07:46 AM.

[Twilight Owl]

oh thats why i always lose

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

maybe it's not the only reason

but it should change yor stats to (mutions and power armor make you strong, sceloids are week but have insane reation fire, fly suits make you fly)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

why should stats of a soldier depend on his skin? you can select them yourself.
BTW i don't remember that power armor increse strength (maybe i'm mistaken)

[Exo2000]

Power Armor doesn't increase Strength.

Also, you can set these things manually... Click on the name then drag the sliders about. You can make Sectoids with insane accuracy and reactions and buggerall health. (one of my team has like 40 health, 70 reactions and 70 accuracy. ph34r)

And flying for the flight suit isn't coded yet. So far so good, it might arrive later, but for the moment I prefer no flying. Stops people hiding on roofing when all your soldiers are ground-bound.

I'd probably actually win if I had some proper l33tsk1llz, but I'm a tad short of those when it comes to X-COM. When it comes to UT2k4 though... heheh. The two games I've won is because the people at the other end had to go do something so I kinda won by default if nothing else.

[karadoc]

The game could use a bit of balance tweaking, but it is very good already.

[Longshot]

I see this is an old thread, but I cna already tell you I like the game quie a bit.

It's definately fresh. (for me anyway).

I've had some bugs that have shut me down in hotseat mode, but I didn't to copy the message and report it. I'll work on that if it happens again.

I'd love to help in any way possible.

I helped fo menial tasks for some JA2 Mods (not Urban Chaos, though) and though I might need a tad bit of training, I can usually be pretty creative. I'm no programmer though...(I know poeple like me are a dime a dozen... ) Anyway I've been playing this game for ten years so I know it well.

Thanks for this. It's just what the Dr. ordered, for me anyway!

[Longshot]

Ok, just played on the server for the first time tonight. HOLY COW!


LOVE IT!




I'll be up all night waiting for opponents...

[Timsta]

I LOVE IT!!!!!!

As for me - I play a lot, but it's my first week so it might get boring sometime soon
But it's fun to play against people who at least know "the x-com problem", good old times

[Archaon376]

I ADORE this game. I just discovered it today and have been playing it non stop. I'm playing hotseat right now trying to learn some tactics and familiarize myself but I have played 1 multiplayer game against Hobbes and I got schooled pretty bad!

He filled the entire map with smoke but luckily I got 2 kills with 1 of my men (missile launcher)

Very fun game.

[Drunken 1]

I found this a couple weeks ago... played about 9 games now. Won 2, quit one (Vs. Plasma. He knows how to corner someone ) and lost 7 due to my shoddy connection going belly-up. Grr...

Mucho fun though

[CopyBass]

I LOVE it. In the words or Peter Griffin, Un-Freaking-Believeable! I play it all the time.... dont win lots, but I dont care, its fun!

[Kratos]

It is the main game i play! I love all the work the developers put into it!

[decoder]

anything turn based rocks, hate realtime shuckeroonies

[Violazr]

For some reason I'm not allowed to vote but I like it very much.
Glad I recently dug out my old X-Com game, otherwise I wouldn't have heard about it.

The only thing that's getting tedious after a while is that everybody seems to be using nothing but scout-sniper tactics...

[Junkhead]

I absolutely love this game, it's great to play. It can really get your adrenaline running too, if youre playing with headphones on and the music, and the other side isn't taking 10 years to finish turn .

[Sporb]

just wait till all the new terrains start rolling in

[Blitzen]

I like the game a lot, but everyone uses the same tactics.... And now Hobbes won't play with explosives against me....

[lame]

hello to forums My last singleplayer game was finished right before x-mas (first right after game came out in early 90's ), and now I found UFO2000, well awesome awesome awesome . hopefully we'll meet at the server

[Sinofdamnation]

I love it! I only play only 1 other game more than i play it...

(...Sorry for the bumb)

[Sporb]

thats why i dont play so much anymore, the rude ones. as for being rocket pwned, the more heavily geared up the enemy is the less armour he is going to have. LOVE NADES!

i only play on 15k - bar playing against people i know

[Blood Angel]

I like it, except when sporb plays, because even though I'd kitted my team out to perfection, he always seems to dominate the whole match with explosives.

Even when I have 5000 points more in my army than him.

Maybe I'm just shuckeroonies

[7Saturn]

The games is quite great!!

But it seems to be a public problem, with the bomber-men. Otherwise the game would be unbeatable. Tactics pure. And yes, it's adrenalin-pumping, to wait about 5 minutes or more, until the opponents hits the end-turn-button.
Something I love is the situation of 2 vs. 2 after a long match. And you don't know where the opponent has the rest of his men. Much better than in original x-com (although the game was one of the best ever made). Great laud for the developers!! You do a good job.

[Baron Crass]

I just found this last night and downloaded it...looks really, really cool. A buddy and I just played a couple hotseat games on one machine, and even that was awesome! gonna get a few differnet squad setups ready to roll, then hop online and see how it goes.
