Universal Combat Expansion

[Jul 08, 2004, 10:38 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

This press release announces plans for Universal Combat: Hold the Line (thanks Frans), a Universal Combat expansion, while simultaneously, somewhat confusingly, heralding the end of the short-lived UC series (which was planned as the new Battlecruiser franchise), saying the previously announced UC: Edge to Edge is now a working title, and that the game's official title will be unveiled later this year. Meanwhile, here's the announcement of Hold the Line, planned for release this holiday season:

We have no immediate plans to develop another stand alone Battlecruiser title in the short term. As such, today we are announcing the above currently in progress addition to the Universal Combat franchise. Our aim with UCHTL is to improve on various critical aspects of the previous title in order to provide an even more advanced and fun title based on lessons learned from the previous offering.

Probably the last of its kind in the Battlecruiser series as we have come to know it, we are making UCHTL the all-encompassing game with as much advancements and fun filled gameplay in first person planet-side careers as is currently seen in the space borne careers. An extensive FAQ which will be frequently updated to reflect inbound questions, is located at www.3000ad.com/products/uchtlfaq.html .

[Mr. Smart] is under the delusion that if you ignore people pointing out the truth, they are not pointing it out at all. Well, you have to admit, since he kept to his own little Battlecruiser world, things have calmed down a bit for him. Looking over those 3000ad boards, however, reveals that he's the same nutcase from those old days. Can you imagine what Smart's game repertoire might have been like if he was just a shade more normal, thus allowing more people to work with him (i.e. more and better programming resources)? He could have been what Romero always talked about being: uber-game-designer! But instead, he oversees a mere niche product, and only one at that...It's really a sad shame.
