  A fantastic game at a fantastic price. It's also hard as nails, but that's half the fun.

  Mods can make it easily look at least five years newer. When I played earlier this year, I found a great mod pack that included loads in one hit, but sadly the page it was on seems to have been taken down.

  Here's the original link (in case it decides to work again):
  http://neutralx2.com/2013/07/14/system-shock-2-mod-pack

  But here's the list of mods in it if you want to download them individually:
  SHTUP
  Four Hundred
  CyberBlutch Rebirth 3
  SHMUP
  Tacticool Weapon Replacements
  Eldron Psi Amp
  Vurt’s Organics
  Vurt’s Flora Overhaul
  Vurt’s Water
  Vurt’s Hires Space
  RocketMan Alternative Weapons Pack (minus the wrench. using tacticool pack wrench instead)
  Proper Cigarettes
  Cutscene Rebirth
  Hi-Resolution Player Models
  Earth New Sky
  Olfred’s fixed objects
  SS2 Simon Pennington HQ Droid – Edited by RocketMan/Grosnus

      Excellent! It was probably just server issues or similar, since the site still seems a little slow for me.

        The site really does seem to be unreliable - possibly because so many people bought the game today!

        Here's a download mirror posted on the page that should work:

        https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-02KPBMHx7TMWdNdkhKblFlZEk…

        Just unzip the files to your System Shock 2 directory.

  I played and enjoyed this game many years ago. It is one of the wonderful franchises created by the EA murdered Origin (the game developers, not EA's client).

  Rats.

  +1 for sappy nostalgia indulgence and mod links.

  Thanks for the heads up on this one, and also the many mod links. I'm no graphics whore, but I find it hard these days to look at or play a lot of the stuff I used to spend incredible amounts of time on back in the day.

  Had always been interested in this since it has coop. Does coop still work though, especially with all the mods?

  Honestly I went back to this game about 10 years ago and it was already way, way too old … graphics were just too ancient and that matters in horror/rpg style games for me.

    Did you try it with mods (I'm guessing they wouldn't have been so good ten years ago)? Because they help a LOT.

    Same. I felt likewise after I went back to Deus Ex a few years ago. It was a breath of fresh air when it first came out but nowadays it looks and plays pretty roughly compared to the Bioshocks et al…

  what's the coop component about?

    colblair on 14/12/2014 - 15:15

    it's the single player game, except you play through it with someone else… simple as that really!
