 New EF2 previews!
posted by severe! (0730 hours)
Gamespot has put up a long preview of EF2, containing lots of new information
I can't say for sure whether or not Mac users will get the Uber editing tools promised, but I do know that the full suite of professional grade level creators and various modification software will be made available to the public shortly after the release of the boxed game. Originally Ritual and Activision considered packing the whole thing into the box, but now that the title is barely containable on two CDs, that isn't an option.
Before you start developing your own maps and games, you'll probably want to play what's their. Substantially longer than the original (both Marc and Glenn were hesitant to give our hour counts), EF 2's 11 environments will take players to mysteriously damaged Federation vessels under siege, snowy Romulan bases, atypical Klingon warehouses (how can they store blood wine when they drink so much?), desert canyons, the hull of a vessel (First Contact style), and more. That's some variety, Marc.

EF2 in other languages
posted by severe! (0616 hours)According to Activision Producer "PingEnvy" at the Ritualistic Forums: There will be a German translated version with the German actor equivelents as before. There is currently no French version of the game. The market wasn't large enough to support a full translation for that territory.
It is also noted that you cannot switch languages as there are barely enough space to fit Elite Force II into 2 CDs.

Gamespot EF2 Preview
Even though plenty of Star Trek episodes have featured Wild West-style shootouts, gung-ho action probably isn't what comes to mind when you think of the long-running sci-fi series. But Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force managed to justify setting a first-person shooter in the Star Trek universe, and it featured enough story to vary the game's pacing. The upcoming sequel, Star Trek Elite Force II, has come along way since we saw it last fall, and it's looking like Activision's plan to make the sequel bigger and more varied is likely to pay off. The game's release is only a couple of months away now, and it's set to hit beta in just two weeks' time.
IGN EF2 Preview
Each enemy boss follows classic gaming formulas and has patterns and weaknesses that can be deciphered with a bit of play and brain use. Of course, if you've ever played any game before in your entire life (something like Contra), you'll know that these patterns can change once you deplete enough of the boss's energy by blowing chunks off of the Borg and seeing his "probes" flap in the wind, or by blasting another surly enemy out of his unnecessarily dangerous weapon and witnessing him plummet to the floor.
