This page is about Enemy Engaged 2 and how it compares to EECH. This article's point of view tries to be neutral and tries to have information fairly and without bias.

Summary

Enemy Engaged 2 started with modded version 1.6.1W5T3 (January 2005), features later developed by the community aren't implemented in Enemy Engaged 2. Basically Enemy Engaged 2 had only a graphics overhaul, but the results aren't staggering to call. The dynamic water effect for example has been greatly improved.

EECH

EECH (modded version) is harder to obtain, that's a noticeable disadvantage of this game. The CD is not all the time available at internet stores (i.e. eBay)! There's no legal bypass to this, because you need this CD to install all the community added content. But the price of $1 is quite beneficial to say.
