X2: The Threat Preview - preview/review
(hx) 03:38 PM CET - Oct,26 2003 - Post a comment / read (5)

GameSpy has posted a preview of X2 The Threat, the upcoming space sim-trading game from Egosoft. As I mentioned a couple days ago, the European release of the game is now February 6, 2004, while the US version is still on-schedule. They should confirm the US release date soon.

At first, combat can be is extremely difficult. You start with a tiny scout ship without much firepower; you're better off running from battles to taking enemies head-on. You'll need a bigger ship, upgraded weapons and shields, or powerful missiles to become a decent threat. As you grow in wealth and stature, you'll gradually gather a mighty fleet of starships, and choosing the right vessel for a given job is crucial. For example, if you're planning a trade mission, you'll want a heavy hauler with a big cargo container. However, clunky, unwieldy ships aren't very maneuverable so they're not good for combat. A powerful fighter is good for taking out baddies, but it won't have much room for hauling goods.

its just stupid, all versions of the game should be identical, just the language is different...so why delay it? If they are that different, they won't be compatible with the other.
