UT3

[Logicbomb]

I was not impressed with it, but I didn't really like 2004 either.

This game really rocks!! It reminds me of multi-player with Quake 3, only much better!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

i like ut04 more then this game. but its cool and makes nice movies.

ive been playing the ut3 campaign the last 2 days. i only played a few missions then added maps and recorded them.

i have all settings maxed out. looks and plays nice. but i have to lower settings to record. ut3 is the only game i have i never finished the sp game. soon i will record a campaign play through

I want this game, but think ut2k4 was great

not to sure about UT3? I have not been doing much

MP, gaming anyhow. I'll get it in Time though.

I was hoping for a Real SP, Campaign, but I hear it's

not a real SP game at all, is that right, just training

levels etc, in SP game?

the first few maps are training.. then its more like tdm.. then it goes into a more normal sp game when the aliens attack then you and the guys you had been fighting team up to fight the aliens.i have not got that far yet..

but. i play ut04 sp game all the time either tdm or ons.. me against the bots or my team against theirs etc.. i play ut3 the same way..i can install tons of cool maps and i record them.. i like ut04 and its style and feel and balance..ut3 is crap in comparison.. all ut 3 has going for it is its engine.. but new wave gen messed it all up.. and other then team red and blue or red or blue flashing lights what ever the whole game could be black and white only..other then red or blue all you see is black and multi shades of grey as in rocks.. water is pretty and the vehicles are cool..but you have to make manual program tweaks for it to work right or for game intro movies to work right. and then all the log on crap gui stuff. you have less options as in ut04 too. man ut3 is clunky.

ut 3 is clunky odd ball and more like quake4 mp to me. arcadish. the ut3 engine had so much more potential.. player movement and weapons and gui's in ut3 is clunky and odd ball buggy un natural feel and lack balance.i think ut3 players and weapons are over sized and not great when many players and all the maps are so small. but the ut3 engine game alone is worth having. and it is tons of maps you can add on and enjoy some good old ut sp tdm dm or ons warfare what ever its called.. and for me i can make nice movies.. ut3 lacks common sense and polish.. ut04 out classes ut3 by a long shot. i guess if you have a add on ageia card you might like it more. but sales do not lie. and last i heard. midway or 1 of them is about to fall..good..

i used to love mp ut04.i played about 17 hours a day for over 2 years.. i got sick of being cheated and lied too by zelios type girls.little is honest in the game and most all stats all of it is a sham. so. i was in no hurry to buy ut3 because of it. you know how i feel about it. then ut3 is a let down.. its ok for under 20 bucks. but nothing to loose sleep over. others will argue points. to each his own

some ut3 map videos.i think i will record them again after i install my opty 180. well if i notice better videos i will...>

video play back quality is much better on gamevee site. but i only have some vids on gamevee. they lack play lists. but play back on gamevee makes youtube look like dirt.and gamevee has a larger screen..>

I realy miss in UT 3 the Bombing run ,although there is a mod made by someone.UT 2004 was and is a good game.
The Nvidia PhisiX mod is also interesting.

UT3 could of been a good game if it wasn't pushed out the door as a beta. It ran well on numerous setups, but the user interface sucked, there was no Punk buster, in Open Al mode the game crashed with a XFI card and still does, along with many other issues yet to be addressed. Supposedly the 1.3 patch is imminent for release, but I wouldn't hold your breath on its release or that it will help the game. The lack of people playing this game in MP is disgracful.

Another game that had a lot of potential was Fuel of War, although this also suffered the same fate as UT3.

i have just about gave up on ut3 campaign. i finally figured out how to take over the Leviathan in the second torlan trip. i was out numbered. my bots are stupid. 1 would be driving or just sitting on the side of the road some place.so i was alone on foot trying to hold or take nodes. the other team much smarter and has vehicles..but i figured it out..

i have to say war far is confusing. im stuck at the mining node map. again out numbered with stupid bots. i can have all nodes linked and still loose. the announcer going off this and that . pick up your node. incoming node runner and on and on.. and im not sure what the orders screen is all about??. hell i give up. ut3 wins. i really dont care to try any more.

i really liked ut04. i loved ut04 mp. but i got sick of the fact i never ever played a honest game in all the years i owned it. few are honest in the game. most all the stats should be deleted and most folks perm ban. most would not be on line with out some zelios type stuff..

facts are.the only honest game is a sponsored tourney with hardware provided and folks are watched like a hawk playing over lan.. anything over the net is not worth playing. and that goes for every game on line. i guess playing on line is great fun for the hackers. well they can have it.i do not consider mp when i buy games any more.. punk buster all of it is a joke. and then it runs 24/7 in the back ground even if i am not even playing a game that uses it..that really pisses me off.. so short sp games are of lil value to me.. to think about it. the only way to stop cheating on line is to open it up. game makers should find and post all hacks for every1 to use. then all is even and back to skill. and servers will open up hack free. other then that. playing on line is a waste of time for the most part.

ffow plays great for me.. updating on steam can be a bite. and the way the sites work is odd ball. it will not hit the target unless its happy and it glows red or what ever it does.. it was kind of short.. cod4 was even more a let down sp was so short and for some reason it will not run if i have my game recorder running.. cod4 was hacked the first day on line too. etqw hacked the first day it was on line. so. i dont not bother to play them mp games.. dont even get me started on stalker. ha ha.

im a sportsmen. in honest play. i take loss with grace. i play basketball.. american football.. well i dont go outside much any more. but i do play board games [risk my fav].. darts.. cards.. 6disc farkle.. and other stuff too.. and most i play for money. to cheat me in person. i would more then likely hurt ya.. if you on purpose fowl me or try and hurt me on the ball court or field. well. i will try and hurt you. break ya up or poke your eye out what ever.if thats how you want to play..i dont have them options on line. so. i do not bother any more.

I did not have problems with sound with my X-fi tough i was forced after applying the patch 1.2 to readjust the number of channels ,thing that i was doing in UT 2004 also for crisper and more complete sound.
Indeed the interface is very ugly but i dont think the patch will redesign it.They will add most probable an update unreal engine with support for advanced phisix effects (there is some youtube movie with what this updated engine is able to do,kind of old though) and some bug fixes.
This game was promoted very much before its aparition and less after ,maybe because of Gears of War title.Another strange thing is that they promote it not as a succesor of a great series but as a game that comes from the creators of Gears of War.Where the hell was this Gears of War when i was playing few years ago UT 2004 and older .Even now Game Spy stats put UT 2004 in the top 10.
I think a lot of bugs come from the unreal 3 engine itself because Splinter Cell : Double Agent is also extremely buggy.A good game but full of crashes and bugs even with the latest patch.Im glad the next Splinter Cell was send back to the design board because was not developed properly.

Edit:ezeht indeed COD 4 was hacked from the first day and no patch fixed nothing and this is purely because its based on the old good Quake 3 engine.I understood them using it for COD ,i understood them using it for COD 2, but damn it ,in the erra of DX 10 to use an absolite engine that forces you make tiny maps is unacceptable.Not to say that the cheats and hacks are adjustable very easy.A lot of admins are complaining about DOS atacks in this game and this is mostly because of the outdated engine.
COD series are excellent as single players, but when it comes to talk about multiplayer, BF 2 cheaters look noobish)
