Very good news indeed, why dont you try to get some kind of statement from J.R. or someone else at Altar? That would be something to look forward to.
Thanks for keeping us updated. |

All I can say is Blinage. That trailer looks mighty cool. I hope that Altar corrects the mistakes that they made with Aftermath 1.
Speaking of which, Slaughter could you possibly get on the horn with Altar and inquire as to wether the improved SAS system allows more than one chopper (squad) to be used? And wether we'll have more than one interceptor to choose from (Not just a basic earth tech interceptor, but a hybrid and later fully developed one later?) Those were my two main problems with aftermath 1. Well, that in the lack of 1.3 deathscreams. -------------------- |

New UFO....coming 2005!!!! Oh no, we know that kind of promisses,
www.ufo-aftershock.com isn't up already, but we got a cool trailer. Saw enemy humans, with some weird DNA that is, the one with the gasmask looked like the soldier I have seen in a magazine from S.T.A.L.K.E.R, there was also a spiderlike creature, and the spiked floating balls you have in aftermath (what were they called). A human Psyker, a mussle guy, looks like there has been messed with the humans to create different units. We X-COM fans have nothing to complain really, we have the UFO games, the ever evolving Laser Squad Nemesis, everything we want....exept X-COM. |

If Altar gives us all the features that we want most along with making everything modable, then all Altar has to do is deliver a working model editor and a nice collection of modding tools on the game CD when it ships, then we will all be in heaven.
Altar needs to ship the game ready to be modded, and then I believe that there will be positive aftershocks felt around the world. |

Do you have to change ufoaftermath.co.uk to ufoaftershock.co.uk Slaughter?
Maybe change it to ufo.co.uk so you won't have to change anymore everytime a new game appears, like the X-COM site. And Hard, I had that too a while ago on my laptop, but I had to install divx and then it worked. |

"and get a error when I start the movie, so only get some sound"
The same thing happened to me, HARD_Sarge. As Bastiaan said, installing the DivX codecs solves the problem. :: Here's a link: http://download.divx.com/divx/DivX511.exe |

The UFO one is taken Bastiaan. But we will do something to the sites in the time to come. Pete and me will discuss this and see what we come up with. He has quite a few good ideas.
