Infiltration 2.9

[MisterP 0]

Some of you who have played UT may or may not have heard of a modern day realism MOD called Infiltration.

OK, it's based on the old UT engine, but what they (Sentry Studios) have done with it is amazing.

Forget cross hairs, you're using the Iron Sights on all the weapons. Want to see the weapon reload animations? No problem. I seriously recommend that you try this one out. So, reinstall UT, patch it to version 436 and download this MOD......now!

Here's the Feature List of the new version: -

Two new game modes designed around an Enhanced Assault (EAS) system that is based on goals grouped into objectives. The system uses an attacking and defending team, with a multitude of mission styles that can be very dynamic and extremely customizable for level designers.

EAS (Enhanced Assault) game mode

The 2.9 map pack focuses more on capturing a CD from a laptop, but the system is capable of including a lot of other goals/objectives depending on what the level designer sets up.

Specialist game mode

One player is selected as a "Specialist" and is the only one able to accomplish specific/certain mission objectives. In the case of capture goals, the Specialist is still able to pass (or drop if killed) the captured item to other players who may then extract with it.

Sniper Class! This dynamic class can be placed by a mapper near the spawn of a team to keep the opposing team from spawn camping (i.e. it shoots at them with pre-determined weapon settings, including warning shots, among other capabilities.) The uses for this class are numerous, as this is only one small, but powerful example.

A general time limit overrides any map-specific time limit that may be in place. Using this feature, you can also override the time limits of standard UT Assault maps. Additionally, you can now assign and save team/camo and time limits to each individual map.

OverTime. Essentially, if a time limit is applied to a map, this feature can be set up to reduce the number of defender respawns available. But when the "overtime" value is reached, defenders are "reinforced", getting additional opportunities to respawn. This gives the attackers a better chance to succeed/accomplish their mission with a time limit, while forcing defenders to use each life wisely.

Wave Respawns.

Music added for the end of a round, depending on if you win or lose, only in EAS.

An air strike is introduced that can be placed in maps by the level designer. Effects can include f16s dropping bombs and UH-60s making strafing runs.

Basic compass. Waypoints show where the current objective is. (i.e where the CD is or where it needs to be taken for extraction). System available for both attacking and defending teams.

Location Ids displayed in your HUD under the compass

About 20 maps that use the new game modes.

I used to play Infiltration after the hackers took over CounterStrike, quite a fun game reminds of a faster OFP when it really gets going. After I uninstalled UT I had went to OFP and Rogue Spear and finally Ghost Recon. I just wish they'd make a newer version for UT2k3 or 2k4.

Yeah, I think everyone in the Infiltration community is really looking forward to seeing what they can do on a much better engine (lets face it, UT2k3 or UT2k4 are vastly superior).

There are plans to move to a new engine, but no rock solid roadmap has been drawn up as to the new features.

Still, if you enjoyed the previous 2.86 version, you're sure to like this one. In many respects is has all the features of GR (and more... smoke grenades, claymore's with trip wires etc), but with Iron Sights, which personally I much prefer, but with out the eye candy of GR.

Anyway, I suggest that at least you try it out and make up your own mind. I for one was playing GR a lot, but now that 2.9 is out, I'm afraid GR has taken a bit of a back seat.
