Star Trek - Elite Force 2 Demo Out Now

suedehed writes "The Star Trek: Elite Force 2 demo is out. And it ROCKS! Here's the Fileplanet link." Bonus links to Fileshack and Happy Puppy (registration required) - this is another worthy FPS demo (courtesy Ritual and Activision) that should be well worth checking out. Update: 05/02 22:02 GMT by S : Here's a BitTorrent link.

Fileplanet, et al

[FortKnox]

Is there any really good mirror that isn't a wait in line and a registration? Bit Torrent, perhaps?

Check out 3D Gamers [3dgamers.com]. Someone mentioned them in the Unreal 2 demo thread. Clicked and started downloading right away for both. They seem to have all the latest big game downloads.

I didn't really like the first one but, I'll try this version anyway :)

Thanks for makin my day gm :-)

Your sig is somewhat on-topic...

...and I have to agree that System Shock 2 was one of the best games I've ever played. System Shock was the first Doom-like game that I actually thought was a good game and SS2 took the same idea, told an interesting sequel to the story and updated the technology. Like any good game, the fact that the technology is a few years old doesn't matter, there's an interesting story, creepy environment, lots of action, and good RPG elements.

I'll check out the Star Trek game, but I bet I won't like it as much as

If anyone would like to help us out with a Bittorrent page that gets updated with all the new Slashdot Games posts, somewhat like f.scarywater.net has been helping to do for mainpage posts, then please mail us at [e-mail] - ithangyou.

[Have been scouring messageboards for a bittorrent link so I can update the article, but no luck so far.]

Download links

[gadwale]

Try your downloads here [3dgamers.com]:

http://www.3dgamers.com/dl/games/steliteforce2/s te f2_sp_demo.exe.html

At least these links don't require registration and logins.

You should be able to put one of these links in wget or your favourite ftp client with a timed retry.

Fromt he wget documentation here [gnu.org].

`--tries=number'
Set number of retries to number. Specify 0 or `inf' for infinite retrying.

`--wait=seconds'
Wait the specified number of seconds between the retrievals. Use of this option is recommended, as it lightens the server load by making the requests less frequent. Instead of in seconds, the time can be specified in minutes using the m suffix, in hours using h suffix, or in days using d suffix. Specifying a large value for this option is useful if the network or the destination host is down, so that Wget can wait long enough to reasonably expect the network error to be fixed before the retry.

Here [torrentse.cx] is a torrent mirror, don't forget to keep your client running afterwards, but nice with me :)

[nidx]

Does anyone else find it intresting that a site that was offline for days because of being slashdotted is also helping stop the slashdot effect on the mirrors?

Re:BitTorrent mirror here

[Kelerain]

I don't know about anyone else, but my download install keep dying at 76% installed due to a corupted file. I'll take another shot at it, I hope it was a fluke.

Excuse my stupidity, but I thought that posting in Plain Text would automatically save me the trouble of doing '<' and '>' manually, but I was sorely mistaken. Next time, I'll use the goddamn preview button.

Re:Old hat?

[Achoi77]

Sorta like how Counterstrike is a mod for halflife, which is based on old Quake 2 technology, right? Nobody plays counterstrike, right? Right?

Re:Old hat?

[Lazyhound]

Actually, the Half-Life engine is based on the Quake I engine.

It automatically sucks.

[Baloo Ursidae]

No Linux version. Come on, guys, join us in the third millennium already! Linux versions should be obligatory by now!

Here is something that actually has to do with...

[The Analog Kid]

the Demo, I thought it was pretty cool. Go to www.ritualistic.com and check out the forums has some tips about some secrets or hidden things with the demo.

Another mirror...
