I'd play it on 360 :(
I'm hoping this little shuttle can get it done, otherwise I have to wait like three months to play it.Quote:

I may get around to picking this up in the near future, if not only to try my hand at the map editor. I spent the last few weeks of my freshman year dedicated to making a map to pass the time. It can be a tedious and painstaking effort, but damn if it isn't rewarding when you finish a decent map. I lost the link, but last I checked, the map had been downloaded well over 1000 times.Quote:

I really like the gameplay for DM and CTF, hoping into a game and throwing out a predicted rocket, bouncing someone up in the air then firing another rocket where you know they are going, and as you head out to face someone else or try to catch their respawn as you see their death message, comes so easily if you played UT... unfortunately everything surrounding it though is terribly done. Navigating the menus and the server browser is so bad, it's amazing. vCTF and Warfare could be fun, but with bots it's just an ultimate exercise in frustration. UT99 is probably one of my favorite games, so when in specific gametypes it feels really good. No matter what Epic patches, they aren't going to turn it into some game that everyone has to play... but they can polish up something that has always been at it's core inherently brilliant.
Epic's problem is that they are too content to let the UT formula go unchanged.
All I see here is a company trying to show off a new engine and cash in on the nostalgic '99 fans like me while also trying to keep from ruffling the feathers of the remaining 2004 community.
Where is the innovation we saw in UT 2004 (the "second" UT, according to them)? From what I've seen, the only thing that even comes close to innovation here are some of the new vehicles. I hear they make the old vehicles that stuck around look downright dull in comparison.
Maybe the mod community can save their ass, but until that starts to happen, I won't be buying this.
If TNL starts playing this, I'll play. But I don't see this game being big for you guys. Ill be on Steam or Xfire if yer looking to start a game.Quote:

this over the shoulder mod just sold me on UT3
