Apocalypse Weapons

Unreal Tournament mod |

Description: The Apocalypse Weapons modification has a main objective: Turn your Unreal Tournament into a real Deathmatch. You'll now have powerfull and balanced weapons to use. New pickups were made to suit the mass deathmatch. Neat features will give you more power and speed. A new atmosphere will be born in your computer. Blood will be as simple as a cup of water. That's the Apocalypse Weapons. A small and simple Modification... ...that turns your UT into a really Unreal Challenge. Story: After the sucessful first Tournament, the Liandry Industries've decided to upgrade future Tournaments. So, the Apocalypse Weapons project was created. The base of the project was the addition of much more bloody and frantic deathmatches, by including totally new lethal and balanced weapons. And then, the project was launched. A long search for mercenaries, lunatics and scientists had begun. After years of work, three weapons were ready, so they put them into action. The Unreal Tournament...

... but not working on Apocalypse Weapons.

I could try to finish my job on this mod, but there're a few things to keep in mind:

  • I'd have to script if from the scratch to make it working on-line. So, thousands of lines to recreate, test and so on. Would it be worth the time? Then, comes the next one...
  • I don't enjoy anymore the main concept of the mod. It's way too overkill: I designed the weapons to merge characteristics of weapons I liked, although being very interesting in practical ways, most weapons don't require much to master them. And that's definatly something I don't value anymore in a game...

So, I'm not currently developing this mod. Just updated the profile to correct the last release date.

For those who are interested in Apocalypse Weapons, I should make this clear: there're two later releases:

  • Apocalypse Weapons Beta 9: released on Mar-27-2003, is the lastest BETA, which features a HUGE mod menu. The only advantage of using the Beta is the functional mod menu.
  • Apocalypse Weapons Alpha: released on Jan-07-2005, the last release at all, which was my work torwards the final release, Apocalypse Weapons X. It has much more features then the lastest Beta, but doesn't have a working menu, though you can change ANY of its setttings by editing the .ini file. I'd encourage using this by all means, since it's more polished and has much more features.

And finally, for those who enjoyed Apocalypse Weapons and would like to follow my work, please welcome to my Maverick Hunters project, which I'm currently working on, and intend to make it even better then what I've done on Apocalypse Weapons across all the years of development it had.

Thanks for the attention, and sorry for the frustration, if any.
