if many other games use the Unreal 2 engine we are at a diadvantage to xbox :(
Now, MoH Frontline on PS2. I played the review version of this game on the weekend and i was quite simply blown away. I've never been a fan of First Person Shooters on consoles, but this game was quite amazing. In fact, it looks every bit as good as MoH: Allied Assault on PC - which is high praise indeed.
Oh, and by the way, in the version i played (which is for all intense and perposes the one that'll be released) there didn't seem to be any option to use a PS2 mouse or Keyboard. However, thats not to say it won't be added for the final release. Lets hope so, as the control method, and the fact that i don't really like using Dual Shock pads for First Person Shooters, was the only negative thing i could see about the whole game.
MoH: Frontline is gonna' kick butt big time.

I'd say it is fact. The unreal 2 engine looks like it could only be handled by the x-box if it were to every be converted to a console.

No idea. You'll probably find out on its release though.

i heard the PS2 can't handle the Unreal 2 engine but whether thats a fact or a rumur i don'r know.
Will that new MOH game have keyboard and mouse options?
But look at medal of honour on the PC, a great WW2 FPS with a great mix of shoot out and sneak em up levels. Yet rather than just convert the game to the PS2, the developers have started a new MOH game from scratch. Its designed around the PS2 hardware so the game wont suffer from any half ar$ed conversion.
This is exactly what I think the developers of unreal should do for a PS2 version of the game. If there is ever going to be an unreal game on the PS2 that is.

i hope so as well
