ITS OUT

Sat Oct 13, 2007 1:12 am

this is not a beta or a alpha it is a fricking gamma way more bugs than a alpha has

pick up a redeemer with loaded then pick one off ground....
boom inf ammo redeemer

stinger 2nd shoots to slow and anim is quirky

flak is unrecognizable

enforcer is to well blocky and the clip is funny how it reloads when you spawn but never reloads again XD

trans recharges fast as heck and i have yet to run out of charges no matter how hard i try

graphics reset everytime i restart game....

and for some unknown reason i have 30 frames on a 1.6ghz pent 4 on half way to max!!!

scorp is a suicide bomber that made many pissed off tank drivers hehe

manta never changed except kills passengers on wings

only vehicles changed:

hellbender- combined 1st and skymine seats rear laser shoots faster and no charge

scorp - plasma cannon? not link net and a suicide booster ability- useless unless smart with tanks hehe

spma - deployable now has a lower spread but alot more smaller bombs

others got rate of fire increase

Go read the epic forums, People are bitching right and left.

I played it for 3 hours tonight. Here are my first thoughts:

Likes

it runs on my computer with no lag.
the feel and movement of the manta
the hover board
the new link gun
the awesome mini gun
the targeting in the raptor
the missile lock-on beeping that quickens as an enemy missile gets closer to killing you.
the gore
the higher damage from manta shots
the driver of the bender can fire sky mines
the raptor can tow people
the aiming method of the new SPMA
the redeemer is easier to navigate and fun to use.
helmets to avoid headshots
the sniper rifle

Dislikes

runs in not the best graphics on my machine
falling damage can be hard to avoid at times
the rocket launcher takes longer to load triple missiles
no dodge jump
the main fire of the scorpion
The handling on the bender

More to come I'm sure.

Really well put Damnidge. We should start a thread with people's opinion; likes and dislikes about UT3 (minus the bitching, they can do that on this thread).

I'm very very happy :) bar some quirky stuff that i would expect in a beta (eg server browser oddness and menu shitness) it's generally pretty sweet. Loved playing vctf with you guys last night - me n tsanger owned xD raptorrrrr.

My only gripes are basically stuff that needs polishing off eg some quirky fps stuff, menus and the damn server browser.

speaking of bitching!

Vista can suck my green shaft! Couldn't figure out how to get my microphone to work. Not to mention the fact that theres a zillion prompts to wade through to just let UT3 demo run. And for all this trouble everything is slower on a quad core 6600, than my 3 year old AMD64 3000+.

zillion? lol there's one :P

about the microphone - does it work in vista at all or just not ut3?

Sat Oct 13, 2007 7:49 am

Dont get me wrong. Vista is not bad, it just isnt any better than anything else I've used over the last seven years. (win2k, MacOS, LINUX,etc)

Mic doesnt work on VIsta, although I'm sure I'll get it eventually, right now, I'm just busy with the shaft :laughing6:

-IMO- Vista just plainly Sucks , and since when did you have such a kickbutt computer Kryphos? You should know by know that your shaft came up too short for ut3 haha.. won't be reaching that far this time !

Im so up for going to try that server!! Thanks Toxic .. last night I had to go really early and didn't know about it ..

My fav weapon is still the Shock Rifle , it freaking owns , and the aiming feels even easier than before , since you can't move that fast! ..

UT3 is no more than a freaking console game in the outside.

I dont like that shock rifle. The potential is there, but it seems kind of like it came from a 10 year old game. THe rifle looks cool, but the sound effect totally sucks...more of a pop.crack than the deep boom of 2004.. Also if its easier to aim/use then there is nothing to work for...then it gets boring. The kill radius needs to be wider...wont be getting many multi kills with a shock combo as is. The link gun is alright...the sniper rifle is OK, but the scope zoom seems a little slow.
