FUCK, first the Orange Box gets released and now THIS?
tell me about it, when i get money, there are quite a few games i need to purchase.
and the download is at 80% for me going at a constant 88kb/s shouldn't be too long before i see this baby in action, or slideshow, depending on how my old rig handles it.
*edit* holy shit, i can run it at a decent resolution, with decent settings, and it runs pretty good.
from what ive played, if you liked ut2k4, i find it hard you wouldn't like this one.
*edit again* i have no idea why i wasn't too hyped for this game before, i mean i wanted it, and it looked great, but i didnt feel like i "needed" it. after playing, umm damn, i need this game. they made it a bit less floaty than ut2k4, no dodge jumping, but dodging in all directions and doubble jump remain.
-biorifle alt fire seems easier to hit people with
-shock combos seem to take a little more aim to pull off
-the hoverboard is fucking awesome
-on the night city (forgot name) dm level there is a giant necris walker you can hop in to destroy people with
-running feels faster, a good thing since in ut2k4 i would dodge jump everywhere for most of my map navigation
-the stinger minigun is awesome, the alt fire can stick people to walls
-rocket launcher functions the same, looks differant, and sounds awesome
-the enforcer comes back from ut99, you have a primary fire, and the alt fire is a burst of several shots
-the impact hammer is back from ut99, and killing people with it rewards you with splattering blood all over your screen
-flak cannon feels the same, nothing really to comment on
-the new announcer doesn't sound as awesome as he did in 2k4 and 99, but he isnt too bad, way better than the shitty announcer in 2k3
-i run on a mid end older pc (or so i feel is a mid end pc) and it hitches a little bit durring the start of a game, but after a min or so it feels smooth. 1024x768 resolution, mid/high graphical settings. so if you have an older pc with a decent video card, you should be fine.
-jump boots from 99 are back
-the redeemer, still awesome
this is what i have picked out from my killing of bots in dm/vehicle ctf modes
this is the mech walker thing you can hop in
*edit* played some online, got my ass kicked, but its still fun. another thing to note, while the game is less floaty and you see less people flying around, IT IS NOT A SLOWER PACED GAME. if anything it feels FASTER than ut2k4, im having a hard time just keeping up with the movement with these people, and for me, this is a good thing. this is a twitch game, not a tactical game.
