Unreal Tournament 2004

[Rich]

I haven't played Q3 in ages. I think I'll settle for watching station or Tracer paint the walls with your gibs.

Well then; you are "Teh Eternal n00b" at Q3 based games!

[cka]

Onslaught works great on my sisters computer... Dare I say it's made up for everything between the original UT and now. There's no greater satisfaction than flying by a group of opponents and hitting alt fire in the hovercraft vehicle with the two rotors (name escapes me atm.)

I sure hope the retail version has a vehicle DM mode (or at least vehicles in DM maps) instead of having them just in onslaught, because that might make me think about upgrading ol' Emma here.

[Lhadatt]

Well then; you are "Teh Eternal n00b" at Q3 based games!

I used to be decent in Q3. I don't have the time nor the inclination to get used to the gameplay again when there's Halo and UT2004, thus I defer to the resident Q3 Masters.

You are Teh Eternal n00b at everything, period.

[Rich]

I'm sure I could take on tracer and station in some of the more recent Q3 engines.

[Tain]

Well, yeah, but the only Q3 engine game that matters is Quake3. :P

[Lhadatt]

What's on May 13, Tain?

</tangent>

[Mzo]

This game is too good for tangents. I won't allow it!

Stop insulting it by mentioning Q3.

[Rumpy]

Who's going to be on tonight? Anyone up for some classic Deathmatch? It's intense with just 8-10 people.

[Mzo]

Nah... the reason I enjoyed the game last night was because it was so different from just deathmatch. After all these years, deathmatch can reallu just suck it as far as I'm concerned.

And tonight? I'm on right now.

[Lhadatt]

Mzo: Hey, Rich started it.

Back to UT2004:
Lots of people are having lag problems. The Atari boards have a few threads where people are complaining about it. They also have some comments on server load -- the current server takes too many resources in onslaught, which is probably due to the beta code and vehicles. We'll see what happens after release.

[Ryan]

I'm up for some DeathMatch tonight. What time?

[Tain]

Yeah, I've been noticing more lag than I would've expected. Hell, it's getting harder and harder for me to find a good server.

But I'm up for Deathmatch. It's pretty playable on this thing.

What's on May 13, Tain?

New Beatmania IIDX PS2 release.

[Rich]

Well, yeah, but the only Q3 engine game that matters is Quake3. :P

Hell no, Quake 3 is like 5 years old. CoD is the greatest incarnation of the engine.

I was just playing UT with some clanmates--it's good fun with vehicles, but on ground fighting with those weapons just sucks.

[Lhadatt]

Yeah, I've been noticing more lag than I would've expected. Hell, it's getting harder and harder for me to find a good server.

That ought to be fixed for the final release. Note that CTF, DM, Bombing Run and the other UT99/03 modes have noticably better network performance.

New Beatmania IIDX PS2 release.

Oh, so nothing I need to be concerned about then.

Rich: Adapt or die, n00b!

[Mzo]

Man, these vehicles are awesome!

I don't know about you guys, but the game is silky smooth for me and looks gorgeous. Onslaught mode is the shit. Just name the time and I'm totally there.

[MechDeus]

Man do I suck at Onslaught, I get so consistantly slaughtered on the field unlike any other game. Yet it still draws me back time and time again.

Hell no, Quake 3 is like 5 years old.

And still great. Quite a testament to how good it is.

CoD is the greatest incarnation of the engine.

Threewave CCTF.

[Videodrone]

I don't know about you guys, but the game is silky smooth for me and looks gorgeous.

Same here *knocks on wood*


Anybody up for some Onslaught in an hour or so?

[cka]

Who's going to be on tonight? Anyone up for some classic Deathmatch? It's intense with just 8-10 people.

I can go for a few rounds too I guess if you haven't done it already... hopefully the ol' beast can put up with it. Not onslaught, unfortunately, as my computer runs that mode at about 5-10fps.

[Rumpy]

I'm looking for a game now, who's game to go?

[cka]

I'll giv'er.
