Man I loved 2097 as a kid. Having watched real steel recently brought back fond memories and made me want to play it again. I only found out about this sequel when I tried searching for a download link for the original one. How does it compare? Quite disappointing that not many people seem to like it but I am willing to give it a go (no real steel pun intended).
@Disinf3ctant Real Steel is a GREAT movie! The title had me fooled into thinking it would just be a CG-inflated action movie...which it was, but it came with a phenomenal story as well.
@Cyric1983 It's a typical underdog story but the lost son thing was really cool in my opinion. How badass was Noisy Boy? :P Still pissed off that Charlie destroyed him.
I prefer the old Jaguar. Sure, It din't looked like a Jaguar, But I just loved (and still love) to play with a three-finger kinda-like triangle head robot...
Im gonna install this tomorrow. Forgot all about this release until tonight hearin the 2097 theme in my head. Time to kick Ravens ass tomorrow again after so long..
@MEGAXSTU It was definitely rather clunky, but I have seen some pretty impressive custom combos on YouTube. You can REALLY rip into them if you get familiar enough with the controls and response of the robots.
@Cyric1983 - The original's* creator, Rob Elam, has been asked by fans several times to bring it to port it even to online marketplaces like PSN and XBL but he always refuses. *There was another unofficial release called One Must Fall (minus the 2097) that he created and released prior to 2097, that was just two humans fighting each other, like it was an alpha or beta release.
it's not as bad a game as a lot of people think. It was a fair attempt at a sequel but its lack of polish or even completion made it out to be a rather anemic game.
This game should have been kept in the side view arena mode like the first one and it would have been much better than it is in this forum.
Making a fighting game in third person view like this is just stupid. At least they should have made a story to it and give it story driven maps instead of arenas and put you through a quest with bosses and rpg features...
@MrDevlance They succeeded with Dragonball z Tenkaichi! That boomed when it went 3rd person, but I know what you mean ay! This game would have been the best game ever made if they had kept it side view... Oh well, I guess sadly we wont be seeing anymore of this franchise which makes me cry! :(
@Cyric1983 No Nova, either. I had a very long argument with almost all the OMF:BG fans on the forums regarding Nova once until Kevin stepped in and banned me.
@kinmanyuen It's the "crowd" element, it's a switchable feature. They'll cheer you the better you do and they'll thumb you down when you're sucking it (you also will be rewarded or punished accordingly). It can be very beneficial in the hands of either crafty or skilled players and it also adds an element to the gameplay when you multiplayer versus other humans.
@yugi4000 Yes, he did. And he's not a very good player. At that AI level you can win easily without taking a hit. You'll have to suck majorly to lose.
The original OMF:2097 was made by three people on a thight budget. I dunno, the problem with Battlefields is just that it wasn't OMF. But I guess the idea was good.
@sputnikpanicpuppet Rob Elam practically made OMF2097 all by himself. However, OMF:BG is a much bigger an undertaking. Mostly due to the online nature, physics and 3D. This has a tendency to overblow a project's requirements of man-power and code-lines.
Disappointing to see a fighting game turned into a third-person beat-em-up. I hope they'll make a third game a-la Street Fighter 4. 3D graphics, 2D gameplay.
Old times. People say it's terrible, yes it is cuz it's 2009 and there are new awesome games. But in 2003 i think this game was the most played, wtf im saying, i guess guys
Oh man... This looks awful... God, I wish they could get a shitload of people and money to just make a badass One Must Fall game. The series deserves it so, so much. Definitely one of the classics.
You have to double-tap the walk key. The Jaguar Leap can also be performed by double-tapping the left key, or right key, and then high-punch. It does an immediate 90-degree turn. Here're the moves I know for the Jaguar:
Jaguar Leap == T, T, HP or L, L, HP or R, R, HP

When you have 1 full energy charge, you can do them by pressing HP+LP or HK+LK at the same time, depending on the move.
