    Hostile Takeover 2050 (a UT3 Total Conversion Mod)

    Hostile Takeover 2050
    A UT3 Total Conversion Mod

    HT2050 introduction video: HostileTakeover2050 video (3min.)

    Hostile Takeover 2050 Servers are up and running both in the US and Australia.

    Note: We have tested it well. Therefore, we believe HT2050 (see installation instructions below), is fully compatible with UT3 and will not interfere with regular UT3 game play. HT2050 is a known as a total conversion mod. The uninstaller fully removes HT2050 since all files are in a separate HTGame (not UTGame) folder.

    What is Hostile Takeover 2050?
    Hostile Takeover 2050 (aka HT2050) is a First Person Shooter set in the future: the year is 2050. From the website www.hostiletakeover2050.com:
    With disappointment in the Shadowrun game and various other cyberpunk themed games and idea was formed to create the essence of the gameplay which is translated from the RPG. We came up with the concept of a multiplayer FPS game that took some of the RPG elements to create the fun aspects of those games "combat".

    Some of our ideas that we had actually seem to have cross pollinated other games which have come out since we sat down and nutted the game idea out. But all these games owe there original source to the cyberpunk rpg genre of the mid 80's, which we are taking the majority of our influence from.

    Our aim is to create a fun, action packed, cyberpunk genre game which gives everyone the opportunity to play a style to suit there personality or feeling for that given moment. Your gameplay style can be that is a stealthy hunter, heavy hitting muscle or the lowly Corpsec guard ready to take down the big boys, with your superiority of numbers.
    HT2050 Story Outline

    Game Play Overview
    HT2050 is not too unlike UT3 however, 1) the teams are meant to be different, 2) three game modes are integrated into the game play, and 3) perks can be used to gain strength, armor, and weapons.
    • Three Game Modes randomly selected by the server
    • Each team has different weapons (for example, dart gun vs. flare gun, etc.)
    • Each team has different objectives (for example, defend vs. steal, etc.)
    • Each team has different perks (for example, SystemNanites vs. Armor)
    Game Modes
    HT2050 selects at random one of three game modes: Steal, Sabotage, HostileTakeover
    Steal - means you locate the item to steal using the hud (look for a light blue reticule). Once you find the object to steal, select it by pressing the Use key for 5 seconds. Next, go to the exit point (a similar light blue reticule).
    Sabotage - means you locate the item to sabotage using the hud (look for a light blue reticule). Once you find the object to sabotage, select it by pressing the Use key for 5 seconds. light blue reticule
    HostileTakeover - a form of death match.

    Teams
    When one first joins a HT2050 server, press the escape key and select either Infiltrator team or Corporate Security team.
    Infiltrator Team - This team breaks-in to the Arcon building and steal or sabotage the objective. Infiltrators do not respawn . . . so stay alive.
    Corporate Security - This team defends against the attempts of the Infiltrators. Corporate Security players always respawn after dieing.

    Help
    In game, press
    • H for general help
    • Escape to select a team
    • F1 for perks

    Hello all.

    I realize, based on Rand's most recent post in this section, that a UT3 follow on may never happen but I wanted to post that some of us have been heads down for almost 2 years working on an ambitious mod in this case Hostile Takeover 2050 (HT2050).

    It has been a lot of work for me, my son, and many others (in Australia no less) and we are proud to announce this total conversion mod has been entered in Epic's Make Something Unreal Contest. Competition is intense for this grand prize category but regardless if we win or not, it is an experience I am happy to have had.

    Even if you never try this mod, take a look at the video (the link is in the first post). The Unreal3 engine is amazing in what can be done.

    If it wasn't for Cain's Lair and UT2004 making my entry into the world of online gaming so enjoyable (was it really 5 years ago I joined?!? wow), I never would have eventually gotten involved in such a grand project. Thanks Cain for making the Lair a unique and truly great place.

    gl hf in whatever game you play.

        I'll give it a try Nomad.

        You need UT3 installed to play(uninstalled a long time ago)?

        Should try to get this on steam seeming they sell the UT series, or other forms of advirtisement.

        And am i seeing this right it is single player as of right now?

          You need UT3 installed before one installs HT2050. I wouldn't buy UT3 just for this. HT2050 is free of course per Epic's lic.
          Here is Epic's post for the patches: http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=663720
          HT2050 is a multiplayer mod. Single player is there to explore the map but no bots. It gets interesting when there is a 4v4.
