Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force (ST:VEF) is not your typical Star Trek game and as soon as the cheering dies down, I’ll tell you why. While most of previous video games based on the Star Trek franchise have been commercially effective, it was a rare one that was better than mediocre.

GAME QUESTIONS ANSWERS
| 1. How many levels does Star Trek Elite Force feature? There are 11 different missions, split up into 1 to 7 levels each. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2. How does the menu system work? Elite Force's Main menu can be accessed at any time during a game by pressing the Esc key. Maneuver the cursor with the mouse or use the up arrow and down arrow keys to highlight options inside the Main menu. At the Main menu, you can choose from the following: New Game, Load Game, Configure, Voyager Crew, Credits, and Quit. The New Game sub menu of the LCARS system allows you to choose your difficulty level and gender and then launch your new game. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3. How do I configure Elite Force? The Video, Controls, Sound, Game Options and Default Settings sub menus of the LCARS system allows you to adjust settings to optimize your gaming experience. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4. What are some known demo issues? Pressing Esc during a cinematic could cause skipping problems. Similarly, do not save a game in the middle of a cinematic, as upon loading the game may not function properly. If you change video settings while playing the demo, you may receive a sound file missing error message. However, you may continue playing without further incident. Refreshing the server causes the sound to skip as if the game has locked up on Windows NT. Connecting to a server on the LAN takes a long time (1 minute+). We have found that NT machines with both IPX and tcp/ip protocols have caused this to happen. This can be remedied by removing either protocol and leaving only TCP/IP or IPX bound to your network adapter. You can also add 'net_noipx 1' (without quotes) to the gameshortcut command line. Example: 'c:program filesravenStar Trek Elite ForceHMstev.exe' +set net_noipx 1. You may also add this command in the console: net_noipx 1 You must enter this command before you launch the map. To bring down the console press the tilde '~' key. It is to the left of '1' and above 'tab'. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 5. What is the console command to check the framerate? Type in 'cg_drawfps 1' (without the quotes) at the console and hit enter. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 6. How do I skip the cinematics? Space Bar and Escape don't work? Press the Enter key to skip cinematics. Or bind a key to SkipCinematic. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 7. Do any Star Trek cast members appear in the game? There is a list of Trek alumni supplying their voice talents in the game:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 8. Who is the character that I am playing in the game? You play the role of Alexander or Alexandria Munro (yes, you can choose to play as a man or a woman). Your character is a member of the Elite Force of security personnel named the Hazard Team. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 9. How much of the inside of Voyager will I see? Every major room within Voyager has been recreated, on 8 different decks. You will be able to walk through the hallways, enter rooms, use the turbolifts, and even access some Jefferies tubes. There are three all-new team members. Kourban, one of the few Klingons in Starfleet, joins the team as heavy weapons specialist. Jorge Gonzales is a master of espionage, and the attractive Sydney serves as the team's pilot. For more information see our Characters section. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 10. Does the game depict excessive violence, such as blood and gore? Although I would not consider it excessive, the ESRB states that the game features blood, gore, and violence, giving it the rating T for Teen. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 11. Is there multiplayer in Star Trek Elite Force? HoloMatch (which is DeathMatch), Co-op maps and different styles of multiplay like Capture the Flag are offered in multiplayer. Currently, Elite Force has TCP/IP Internet and LAN support. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Call Me a purist, but there was something very wrong about the best Star Trek game available being based on one of its weakest TV incarnations. Voyager - Elite Force might have surpassed the plethora of mediocre-to-atrocious Trek games we'vthad to put up with in the past, but that doesn't excuse having to listen to Captain Janeway between missions. So when it was announced that the sequel would cast off its matronly-skippered guise and settle instead on the glowing baldness of one Captain Picard, the world cheered with enthusiasm. Well, I did anyway.
The only cause for concern might have been the more dubious move from developer Raven to Ritual Entertainment, a company that hasn't produced much of interest since the ancient Sin. The use of the increasingly dated Quake III Arena engine was another area of worry. Having played the game to completion in its Beta form though, we can already confirm that Elite Force II is every bit as good as Raven's effort, and in some ways a whole lot better.
Borg Standard
In fact, the first thing that strikes you when you first play it, is just how similar to the first game this is, with all the small refinements and improvements you expect from a sequel. As before, youcommand the elite Hazard Team, sent out to do all the violent, dirty jobs those alien-hugging Federation officers won't touch. The first mission works as a transition between ships, set as it is in the Borg sphere seen in the very last episode of Voyager before they finally reach Earth. Unfortunately, the inside of a Borg ship isn't the best place to start a game: very small corridors, identical looks to the original (it almost feels like a cut and paste job) and enemies that have been so overused you can't be bothered to shoot them any more.
Things improve almost immediately though, as the story element kicks in and you find yourself consigned to a teaching job at the Starfleet Academy, a beautifully realised campus that you can explore at your leisure before being spotted by the eagle-eyed Picard. It's a shame more of the game doesn't take place here, as the outside locations under a pleasant blue sky would make an excellent - and different - arena for repelling alien invaders.
Free Enterprise
Nevertheless, the move to the Enterprise continues the feeling of freedom and exploration, although, like Voyager before it, it's a shame so much of it is reduced to corridors with doors that don't open. Despite the real voice of Patrick Stewart as Picard (listen out too for Dwight Murdock Schultz reprising his Barclay role as well as the great Jeffrey Combs), it doesn't really feel quite as it should, partly because Voyager's irritating Tuvok is the only other major character (taking a temporary post here now that Voyager has disbanded), and because the Enterprise we all know from the TV series was destroyed a few films ago.
Still, your first mission inside Federation space puts you in classic episode territory: exploring a friendly vessel discovered drifting in space, with its crew either missing or dead. It's not quite System Shock 2, but the atmosphere builds up nicely as you discover bodies floating in the zero gravity and catch glimpses of whatever did the damage fleeing just out of the corner of your eye.
But elsewhere, atmosphere usually takes a backseat to pure action. Whether it's crawling alien creatures, Romulans, Klingons or some of the other species (details of which we're forbidden to divulge), the job is to blast (or, even better, vaporise) them out of existence.
The action takes place in several locations, expanding the original game's scope to include more away missions and outside settings. The best parts though, are the ones in familiar surroundings: battling some intruders on the bridge of the Enterprise with Picard by your side and taking a zero gravity spin on the outside of the ship's hull.
Tricordered
Star Trek Elite Force 2 Download Mac Torrent
But while the whole thing is much longer than the first game, it doesn't often degenerate into non-stop mouse-button bashing, preferring instead to develop the story, add a few twists and generally keep you on your toes in more than the action department.
Not that there's anything approaching a proper, meaty puzzle (what game has anything like that these days?), but much of your time is spent exploring alternative routes and finding ways to take down force shields. Because of this, the tricorder plays a much more prominent part, providing information on anything you want to scan, detecting trip-wires and cloaks and pointing you in the direction of the next objective.

One of the best features in the first Elite Force (and one not all players realised was there) was the way certain actions forked the story slightly in two directions. So, for example, in one mission I was meant to rescue a fellow officer. I failed and received a bollocking from Tuvok, as well as reproaches from my teammates for the rest of the game. I thought it was just scripted to happen that way and that the rescue was in fact impossible. It wasn't until I went back much later that I realised it was possible, and that the outcome changed people's reactions from then on.
For a while I thought this had been removed from the sequel - after failing to rescue someone in the first mission it was game over. But in fact, the device had been developed even further, with certain key moments offering a choice of dialogue responses that shape your relationship with other characters.
The Light Fantastic
It's subtle things like that - and the addition of some diverting sub-games - that make Elite Force II a bit more than another licensed hack job. However, these are the kind of details that will only be noticed by those looking for them. For the rest, Elite Force II is likely to be seen primarily as a straightforward, if enjoyable, shooter, with the small difference of sci-fi weaponry rather than the conventional machine-gun arsenal. This is quite a big difference you might think, especially when you consider that laser blasters, phasers and other futuristic arms (including those in Voyager and the Jedi Knight titles) are often deeply unsatisfying. How can you compare the sense of realism you get when a solid piece of metal thunders out of your gun barrel and ricochets off a wall into an enemy's yielding flesh with a bright beam of light that resembles nothing more a powerful torch beam?
Luckily, this is something Ritual has obviously taken into consideration, and the weapons in Elite Force II are by far the best of their type, beefed up for a greater feeling of solidity. Apart from the usual phaser and compression rifle, you get to play with an assault rifle (which has the nice punch of a shotgun to it), infinity modulator (the weapon from the first game that no Borg-fighter can do without), sniper rifle, grenade launcher, lightning gun (not only fires bolts of electricity, its secondary fire lets out a stream of gas that can be ignited for maximum burn value), quantum burst torpedo (a rocket launcher that can be guided) and radiation gun (the ultimate weapon here).
While there's plenty that will appeal to the general shooter audience - and not just a hardcore sci-fi fanbase - it's issues like these than make Elite Force Il's battle against its rivals more of a struggle. After all, how can a game that uses the Quake III engine and is closely modelled on the first Voyager outing compete with giants like Doom III and Half-Life 2? The answer, of course, is that it doesn't even try. Ritual hasn't set out to change the face of the action genre or introduce any groundbreaking gameplay concepts. All it wants is to create a solid and enjoyable experience, with enough violence to keep shooters happy and enough story and details to keep Trek fans the same way (most will be content with the moment when you can ring Picard's door and hear the familiar shout of Come!).
In that respect it looks like the developers are on course to achieve their target and, if the almost complete build we played is anything to go by, the June release date looks a dead certainty. There's a playable demo floating around the Internet so download that and decide for yourselves.
This Is A Man's World
But It Don't Mean Nothing Without..
Voyager- Elite Force not only had a Margaret Thatcher helming your ship, it also offered you the chance to play as a male or female character, both called Alex Munro. This was really only an aesthetic choice, but it's still sad to see the option absent this time round. It's a lazy mistake, since it was definitely much more fun playing as a girl, especially when you got to 9ee yourself in the mirror. Surely another skin and a different set of voice recordings would have been a small price to pay to keep her alive. Still, it does mean that Ritual has been able to develop your relationship with the other members of the Hazard Team without any gender misunderstandings.
Hologram Mayhem
Multiplayer Stays In The Holodeck
Although it would have been nice to see the online side of Elite Force II move on from what was essentially a Quake III mod, there are at least some new modes to look forward to. The main one is the Bomb Disposal one, which is basically a plant the bomb scenario, though here both teams have a device to plant. There is a Modifier in which the job of the other team is simply to defuse though. Other Modifiers include Disintegration (aka instagib). Control Points, Elimination and Specialities, in which runes collected give you a specific character class (infiltrator, medic, technician, demolitionist, heavy weapons or sniper). Other than that there is the usual assortment of deathmatches and capture the flags.

2) Click the Start button Run
3) Type: regedit (Press the Enter key) This will bring up the registry editor. 4) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREActivisionElite Force II and Delete it.
5) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersion
UninstallStar Trek Elite Force II and Delete that. This should remove the game completely from your system.
It might also be required to remove the EF2.INI file for the game:
1) Click the Start button Programs Windows Explorer.
2) In the left pane, choose the drive Windows is on.
3) In the right pane, double-click on the Windows folder.
4) Again in the right pane, scroll down until you find a file named EF2.INI(the file should have an icon of a notepad with a yellow gear on it).
5) Highlight and delete the file.
6) Try to install the game now.

For those saying the insert disk 2 bit doesn't work, right click and click eject on disk 1 before clicking on disk 2 and make sure disk 2 registers as being on your E drive (or whatever disk 1 was) before clicking ok.

I still dont know how to mount the 2 iso. After mounting iso 1, i setup & install, then menu ask for cd 2..
I mount both isos, with Virtual CloneDrive. Then i try to install, menu later still asking for cd 2. I still do not know what to do. Maybe i am to stupid. I need step by step help.

How I fixed the OpenGL subsystem errors (they only came up for me once I started altering graphics options)
1) Use the ISOs to install the game
2) Run the EF2.exe as adminstrator- without this it seems that the game can't create the base'username'.cfg file.

Installing isn't a problem but I just get a black screen when it starts sometimes with the sound but no visuals. Any suggestions?

Clyde3D2020-04-054 points
Open the Zip. Extract to a folder of your choice. Go into the (redundant) 'whatever'camaro folder and delete the CD1 and CD2 folders. You don't need them. The only thing good in that stupid folder is the patch and crack. Back out of it once you have patched and execute the EF2.exe. You will find the resolutions possibly not to your liking as I did. The WSGF site will help you here. Once you have changed your 'username'.cfg in the base folder you can enjoy your game!

I hope that someday Steam will release ST Elite Force 1 (with graphic update patch) and ST Elite Force 2. I played Elite Force 1 and fighting against the BORG was great!.. And i also love the Enterprise E and the new (now old) uniforms.. but i can not play it.

Rant/complaint warning:
I don't know why but this game got extremely broken for me. I have no idea why because I re-downloaded and tried doing the patch, but ever since I hit about midway through the game, my copy is just.. Destroyed.
Started with visual bugs, but moved to buggy scripted sequences and dumb AI. Then it got worse until moving objects no longer move, I had to download someone else's saves just to get past elevators.
At about Attrexian colony I genuinely can't even progress, the game has degraded to the point that enemies don't even spawn any more and the level is lifeless and broken.
Never encountered this sort of 'broken' in my entire life gaming, utterly perplexing since I reinstalled the exe multiple times, got a fresh download, reset my settings, tried Googling my issues multiple times..
Not sure if anyone else got these issues, but it's so bad that I think I'll have to just delete the game and watch a playthrough.
A friend suggested maybe someone tampered with the files as a joke, yet none of the comments here are reporting this?
Real shame as I liked the first one and was very curious how Elite Force 2 will go.
