What I wish would come back is really good COOP PVE. I ran a hugely popular ut2004 Invasion server that we wrote a custom mutator for (Sudvasion). I had a T1 line to my house that just ran the servers. We had a solid dedicated group of people from all over the world playing that 24/7. Was the pinnacle of gaming for me. 18 years later I still chat with some of the community via steam disc etc.
Have you tried GTFO? It’s more of a stealth game than a straight up shooter, but it did scratch that itch for me and my friends.
Also, Gunfire Reborn is pretty good at going “one more run” due to its roguelite nature, and it has a pretty well functioning coop mode
Gunfire is quite fun. Gtfo just didnt do it for me. Was fun but i tired of it quick.
16player pve coop is my dream again. The new starship trooper is acratching the ut invasion itch a good bit right now
Don’t remember if I played on your server, but UT2K4 was the definitive FPS, hell, the definitive multiplayer game as far as I’m concerned. Cutting-edge graphics paired with gorgeous esthetics, ultra-refined gameplay with a mile-high skill ceiling, a million game modes and a billion mods, strong community and developer support. If it’s good, it’s probably true of UT2K4.
If you were an invasion nut then you likely did. We had alot of good tweaks for invasion and it was HARD. 100th wave was only done once and took 6 hours to make it heh.
And i agree. 2k4 was good in so many ways. Ive been searching for something like it and it doesnt exist.
