if you are a gamer, download this
-
FUCK, first the Orange Box gets released and now THIS? Le sigh.
I don't think UT3 is going to run very well on my system though...we'll see.
-
I know my computer couldn't run this, I guess that's just more of a reason to get a new one.
-
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.
-
My system is a low-mid range rig as well so, from what you say, I should be fine. I hope so...for your sake. :P
Either way, it's not too big of a download, all things considered.
-
So what now, this or Quake wars? they seem similar so I doubt I'm buying both.
-
I bought Quake Wars, and I'm pretty freaking happy with it, UT and Quake Wars are really different styles, though. UT is a lot closer to the original quake, while Quake Wars is like a battlefield game.
-
yea, i see quake wars as this epic future battlefield game with the quake setting. unreal...is unreal, if you are a fan of superfastpaced deathmatch games(and other modes...i just prefer my standard deathmatch), there is no better game for the job.
quake wars looks good, i haven't played it, but normally, im not a big fan of the team thing. the only exception to that are co-op games, and team fortress classic.
i go into an arena fps to shoot everything that moves, i can't be bothered with "ohh, can't kill him, hes on my team"
but yea, what is more your cup of tea, battlefield team vehicle madness (which unreal will deliver in a differant format) or a better feeling ut2k4 with new stuff out the ass.
*edit* hell, both demos are out, play them both, question answered.
-
Yay, another regular deathmatch fan. I hate all the new "capture some random node" style maps. I like my gold old ut99 style fragfest. Though CTF modes are cool, too.
-
*edit* hell, both demos are out, play them both, question answered.
Good point, I might get both but I'm not a huge fan of deathmatches. Just seems like theirs a lot of luck to them as compared to teams.
-
Oh jesus christ, I tried it, and this is 300% better than UT2k4. I'm getting this game. Plus it looks like a visual orgasm.
-
(http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/5006/biorifledd5.jpg)
on my rig, this is how the game looks, runs from 25fps when alot of crap is going on, to 30-40 fps normally. i would run at a higher resolution, but the game already looks good, and the fps would drop by 10, and i don't want that.
and actually, from listening to the music from here (http://www.unrealtournament3.com/us/index.html) the game has a bitchin soundtrack, something i would....b-b-buy.....
-
Shit, I just might have to get both. I guess my hands are going to be full with this, quake, CSS, and orange box.
-
I think I'm gonna look into UT3. I wasn't a huge fan of UT2k4, though I still love playing UT99, it just needs more fun AI.
-
playing bots...on average(i did say i sucked)...i kind of like the sniper rifle
FLAWLESS VICTORY
(http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/6420/flawlessvictoryvj3.jpg)
and im not sure if it was in ut2k4, but after godlike, you get MASTERFUL
flak monkey is now flak master
headhunter is still here
biorifle gives you biological warfare
minigun gives you blue streak (as it shoots blue crystals)
haven't did it with any other weapons yet, so im not sure on impact hammer/enforcer/link gun/shock rifle/rocket launcher/whatever i missed
*edit* ok i can do fine on experianced bots if im a sniping bitch, but skilled bots rape me harder than an online match...literally.
-
experianced bots, impact hammer only
the award you get for multiple impact hammer kills is "JACKHAMMER!"
and it shows me with a shock rifle because i ran over the shock rifle spawn (seen behind my character) as i dodged into the last kill
(http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/4637/impacthammerio6.jpg)
since i can't dodge jump into everybody, i had to do a little thinking. if i get within a dodge distance of said enemy, and i face him as i dodge past/towards him, i can normally kill him with the impact hammer. also, use high ground, scope out enemies on low ground, and dodge off the higher ground for a nearly guaranteed sneak frag.
and thus, ut3 is starting to feel like ut2k4, as im better with the melee weapon rather than most of the other weapons.
-
Lol, that's kinda sad when you're better with melee than all the ranged weapons. I'm personally a big fan of the Flak Cannon.
-
i will list the weapon awards, because i can
you get an award for 15 frags with said weapon or in parenthesis the kind of kill for that weapon
shock rifle (combos only)- combo king
enforcer- gunslinger
rocket launcher- rocket master
flak cannon- flak master
sniper rifle (headshots only)- head hunter
bio rifle- biological warfare
stinger minigun- blue streak
impact hammer- jackhammer
link gun(alt fire only)- shaft master
if anyone can test it with the redeemer, i would edit this post with it ;o
-
Getting it with the redeemer is a pretty crazy task.
-
im not even sure there is one with the redeemer, but its worth attempting.
-
I'd give it something insane, like a really loud scream out of nowhere, or something funny.
-
Playing UT3 on an HP Blackbird on a fuckhuge monitor at full settings is probably one of the greatest joys my have have beheld in all of my days.
-
I just looked up the stats on a Blackbird and I think I just shat myself :O
Seriously, that system is mindblowing. Only issue is the cost. I could probably put together something more powerful for that price... Though the case is pretty badass looking. And I didn't even know they made 1.1kW power supplies. That's intense.
-
Haha, and I thought my 700W was excessive :<
-
im running off 550w
cost me $90.00 D:
-
90? Ouch, I'm running off 550 as well, with 2 fans in it and some cool LEDs, and it cost less.
-
I paid around $100 for a nice, heavy 620W modular PSU.
-
Hmm, looks like the same PSU I have (well, this one's in red) is about $73. Actually, for the price this is one fine PSU.

Only difference is that mine's in blue, not red like the one they show here.
-
Yeah, this holiday season i plan on upgrading most of my machine. There's just too much good stuff coming out to ignore.
I'm downloading the beta now. I'll be in heaven by tomorrow.
-
does it got anything to offer besides visuals? From what I've experienced, the UT games just got worse and worse and worse.
-
I don't know if I'd say that.
UT99 was outstanding, UT2003 sucked, UT2004 was remarkably better (more Quake 3-like than UT99, but still a fine game), UT3 is ???.
It seems like, overall, UT99 fans prefer UT3 to UT2004. I have yet to try UT3, though...heh.
