This was my favourite episode of SL; love an underdog story. I used to play UT2004 religiously after school - you're right that the older UTs didn't really have a story, but what worldbuilding there was came in character bios and map descriptions. I basically took this ep as a "live" version of one of those little paragraphs of flavour text.
They actually had a TON of lore, but it was usually in character/map/weapon database entries or in the main Unreal series. The fact the episode not only follows the lore but incorporated mods that were made canon? So cool.
I think it might be my second favorite of the series behind Warhammer and ahead of armored core. Having said that, everything drops a place when MegaMan hits!
unreal tournament 3 was the one i grew up with and that had a story mode though i don't remember much of it but this episode was soooo good the animation kinda reminded me of some love death + robots episode and i hope they make a new game with X4n as one of the characters, i think the storymode for that universe would be so sick
Yeah, I bet if there was a remake or new title with more of a story mode I'd really enjoy it. I DID go out and hook up my Dreamcast to play it again but got sidetracked by the holidays. Thanks for watching

@@NewToMeMovies Amazing series, all. The fact they got the guy from astartes to animate the 40k segment was incredible

I'm that guy living for this episode.
Long live the Liandri slave rebellion.
I don't remember any of this story line from the Dreamcast version of the game I used to play but I loved the story here.
@NewToMeMovies It's a little confusing because the Dreamcast version is sort of a prequel to the PC version? At least I think.
