Well I've been playing it  - ****, nice stuff, but it's pretty hard going on the resources, and it's hard going on the difficulty too, heh, "You Died" !!

I really like the gfx. Can't wait to get my R9800. :cool:
It's more difficult, than EF1, IIRC. But then again, I don't play a lot of FPS, so I could just suck at it.

No. It is a lot harder. These aliens are pretty hard to be sure "when" they'll appear, and it's such close quarters you get hurt so much before you reach the big guys :)

okay, I played through that demo and here's what I have to say:

Why, oh why did the use the Q3 engine. That ***** has to be at least as old as FS2.... :sigh: . Unreal Warfare is teh w0rd today.

Gameplay: Two random missions, with bug enemies, and pigs as friendlys. riiiight

Voice Acting: The Attrexians sounded like they were really *really* bored. Not the behaviour I'd expect from a race that is under attack by a nation of bugs.

Overall, very, very NOT Trek.

The fact that it's not Trek is probably because it does so well, Stuna, since pure Trek games are destined to fail at the doorstep.

Well, EF1 was trek enough, it had story, it had borg, it had Barbie of Borg, you know.

EF2 seems to be about randomly shooting bugs. I mean the only character/race that has actually appeared on Trek and was in the game were the Klingon, and picard

I really liked the "Colony" level, though.

Well as much as I agree that the Voyager elite team had a good story, so does the Elite team in the Alpha Quadrant with picard. Just remember though, it's only a demo. And it sounds like a half-beta one at that.

OT, but I should have listened to you guys... U2 demo took seven or eight hours to download, for five minutes of play. Boo. :no:

Agreed.

EF2 demo still owned U2 demo IMHO...
