IGI 2: Covert Strike MP Beta [Jan 10, 2003, 11:34 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A multiplayer beta version of IGI 2: Covert Strike is now available, offering a
sample of Innerloop's upcoming stealthy shooter sequel. "This public
Multiplayer Beta Test features the 'Timberland' map and calls for stealth and
weapon skills. In Timberland, the IGI operatives’ aim is to sabotage an old
mineral plant that the Conspiracy is using as a cover to extract uranium for
covert weapons manufacturing." The 117 MB file can be downloaded from
publisher Codemasters,
or from one of the mirrors on Ferrago.co.uk,
FileShack (registration required), Fragland, Gamer's
Hell, or Tiscali Games.
I have to agree. I played IGI 1, and it's pretty fun for the most part, minus the lack of save games and multiplayer.
This "beta" seems to be a step backward from where the original was. The graphics, models, and animation seem about the same, but the gameplay for a "stealthy" shooter is completely out of whack. Who needs to sneak around when you can run at 30 mph while strafing and firing at the same time?
Some good ideas with it (like paying for early respawn) but it seems like it needs a little more time in the oven.
