UT3 likes and dislikes

[kryphos]

I think Damnidge put it really well in his comments so I'd like to get other peoples opinions. Just list the features you like and the features you dont like.

Here's my 2 cents:

Likes:
New link gun :)
Hellbender agility
Hellbender driveby style
Impact hammer
Scorpion primary fire
Gore!

Not likes:
Vehicle handling (I swear I wasn't drinking, officer! )
Dodge and no jump.

I miss the movement however it's well suited considering what else is available.

Love
Hoverboard
Hoverboard
Hoverboard
Hoverboard attatched to the raptor
The shock combo after effect (gibbtastic)

Dislike
Menu stuff (stupid consoles)
Server browser
Menu stuff (again - i really hate it, so many damn screens)
That i don't have the full game yet

Maybe its a demo thing, but when scrolling through servers you cant see whos playing until you join the game...maybe im missing something.

I think head shots are way to easy in this game with the sniper rifle, and the zoom is too slow

The shock rifle needs improvement...mainly the shock combo..its too easy and the sound effects are terrible

The link gun is OK

The flak looks kind of cheesy...needs to go back to the round shot pellets

I think they should have used UT2004 as a template and just added the new vehicles, weapons, graphics, skins, maps, etc

I love the hoverboard and grapple.

Im not liking the fixed aspect in vehicles (no zooming in and out in the raptor ect)

I like the post processing but also like that u can turn it down or off

I also love the scorpians power boost, but I thought they would've added some of the motion blur effect from gears to it.

Overall its really growing on me, wished we had some more boards

[Damnidge]

I'll move mine over here with a few additions:

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.
helmet powerup to avoid head shots
the sniper rifle

head shooting people off their boards!

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

the beam shot in bender seems too weak

I am very happy with it and it's exceeded my expectations some. I just wish we had a no-vehicles CTF map to play. CTF-Coret, which was the UT99 demo map, would have been perfect.

I didn't try any of the vehicles, so I can't comment.

It feels much more like UT99. This is probably as much as the UT99 community could have hoped for. This means--the return of populated no-vehicles regular weapons CTF public servers !!!

Shock Rifle -- shock combos feel much better.

Flak Cannon -- good ol' flak cannon felt good.

Pulse Rifle (aka Link Gun) -- secondary fire gives straight beam like the original pulse rifle. You can actually kill folks with it now! The Flaming Green Penis returns! (UT99 had a mod where, if someone picked up 3 kills in a row with pulse secondary, a message would display on the screen saying "<Player name> likes green penis!"

Hoverboard -- will be great for traveling across distances in non-combat areas of vehicle maps. Worked out much better than I had thought.

Double Enforcers -- good to have it back.

Dislikes:

Menu and settings options need more details. I assume that the full version will offer that.

Server Browser -- It is god-awful! If this is the finished browser and not just a very rough alpha, then it's a huge step back from the UT99 and UT 2004 browsers.

Rocket Launcher -- only fires 3 rockets (again). I really want my full 6 rockets because I used it to clear out the paths behind me when I'm carrying the flag. With 6 rockets you get more load time and can just "hold on" to them until you're ready to unload on someone (or until it fills with 6 rockets).

Goo Gun -- didn't pay too much attention, but it looked like the goo lasted too long, making it, potentially, overpowering. If that's the case, flag defenders could just cover their flag in goo, in which case CTF mappers will have to leave it out.

Impact Hammer -- I didn't do any piston boot jumps (PBJ) with it, but from what little time I spent with it, it lacks the rough-and-tumble feel of the UT99 Impact Hammer. The original impact hammer would charge up when you held down your primary fire and then it would shake around on your screen and make an awesome roaring-like noise. You really felt like you were wielding a wild, almost out-of-control weapon. It was fun just to run around with it.

Don't worry about the goo gun whip, it's not all that devestating from what i've tried (does have a poisoning effect though!)

[Tazcrosblade_]

i like the goo gun its like the cerebral bore!!!!!

u just charge up and stick it on some1 and it like eats away at their flesh and then killes them very cool to watch

[DW_WailofSuicide]

Splash on the BioRifle could definitely stand to be increased. There is almost no splash damage at all, you only get damaged by directly coming in contact with the goo.

Go grab the Bio and walk over to a corner and try it, even being one step away meant zero damage.

dislikes

Hoverboard, I was expecting so much more its slow hard to control generaly crappy
Hits, when your shot it almost makes it impossible to see whats going on some times....
Time it takes to get up when you are knocked off your hoverboard your basicly a sitting duck and will get killed.
