Post by: Falcon on July 14, 2004, 08:41:11 pm: Its a good game.

The game was made by Terratools and published by Microsoft. So it wasn't free. Until now. :D

Post by: karajorma on July 15, 2004, 05:44:13 am: If this is a Hostile Waters style game (i.e strategy mixed with leaping into the vehical and controlling it yourself) them I MUST have it. :)

How come no one mentioned this game earlier when we've discussed this genre? As far as I knew Hostile Waters, Carrier Command and the two Battlezone games were it.

It's so good I consider the whole affair unjust and want to know how I can post my cheque for £30 to them.

Urban assault came out roughly the same time as Battlezone and was criminally overlooked much like Battlezone was too. It's more intense, a lot faster paced and a helluva lot of fun.

Post by: karajorma on July 15, 2004, 01:06:02 pm: I see it all the time in the Uk as it was re-released earlier this year. You could probably get it online from the UK although I don't know how much they'd charge for postage.

Post by: Andreas on July 15, 2004, 02:50:49 pm: I've had Urban Assault way back since it was released in '98, and it's still one of my favorite games, shame it was so underrated when it was released :(

Post by: Stryke 9 on July 16, 2004, 09:58:34 pm: Game looks kickass. Thanks.

Some reason I always have to find out about the really cool stuff on there via someone else, whenever I look it's all IF and stuff I'm not into at the moment...
Title: Urban Assault HOTU
Post by: Falcon on July 16, 2004, 10:22:05 pm: Im still want those movie files. If anybody still has the CD could you please put them up for download as well as the speech files.

Hey I'll play you a game.
Title: Urban Assault HOTU
Post by: Stryke 9 on July 16, 2004, 10:30:24 pm: Ask at the HOTU forums. The fact that UD has it suggests that at least one member has the full CD.

That, or Torrent, I suppose, though I can't help ya there.
