STORY
Eight years after the Strider Wars ended, Earth resumed its expansion into
space. The central government grew weak, and power passed to the major
corporations funding the exploration and exploitation of new planets. Each of
these corporations maintained a private force of mercenary soldiers to enforce
its will, and law became largely a matter of “Might Makes Right.”
As
Unreal II – The Awakening opens, you are John Dalton, a Marshal in the
Terran Colonial Authority. The TCA is an undermanned police force that patrols
the outer reaches of space. Your job is similar to that of a Marshal in the Old
West — you are the lone representative of governmental law and order, charged
with keeping the peace in a vast and unruly territory.

a used slot, and the game will overwrite that file with the new save file.
LOAD GAME: Pick a saved game from one of the saved game slots to continue
where you left off. Selecting an icon from the Missions sub-menu will re-start
that mission.
Note: A mission icon will only appear after you have already begun
that mission.

Unreal II – The Awakening just the way you like it. If you don’t like the changes
you have made, you can easily restore the original settings by clicking the
“Defaults” button. Here are some of the features most commonly customized by

Game Difficulty: Choose Easy, Normal or Hard.
View Bob: This slide bar determines how much the screen bobs to simulate
running.
VIDEO
Configure the look of the game here. Choose your Screen Resolution and adjust
the Gamma, Brightness and Contrast. Shadows
This menu contains options for tweaking shadows. The Master Detail selector
allows for quick changes to the overall settings. Lowering/disabling shadows
may help performance in certain levels of the game.
AUDIO
Modify the game’s sound configuration here. You can adjust the music and
sound effects volumes. You can also activate 3D audio hardware and Surround
Sound features.
EAX
On Creative’s SoundBlaster Audigy or Audigy 2 sound cards, this setting
activates hardware-accelerated 3D positional audio and EAX ADVANCED HD
audio technology. Unreal 2 uses EAX ADVANCED HD to portray realistic
acoustic environments and the natural filtering effects that occur when sound
passes through and around objects. On other 3D audio accelerators, this
setting enables 3D positional audio only.
HUD
Important information is displayed in the Heads-Up Display during the game. In
the HUD menu you can adjust GUI mouse speed and turn the subtitles,
crosshair glow and display objectives ON or OFF.
Controls
Here you can assign keys to different game functions like movement and
weapons. For example, you can reassign the “Next Weapon” function to the
Shift key. Click on the box next to the function you want to change, then hit the
key you want to assign to that function.
INPUT
Turn the following controller options ON or OFF, or adjust them on the slider bar.
Mouse Sensitivity: Determines how sensitive the game’s mouse controls are
to the movement of your mouse. The higher the sensitivity, the less you have to
move the mouse to produce a given action.
Invert Mouse: When turned ON, moving the mouse down causes you to look
up, and moving the mouse up causes you to look down.
Mouse Smoothing: This option makes your player movement smoother when
you MouseLook.
MouseLook: With this option enabled, you can use your mouse to look around
without pressing the MouseLook key.
