What did you think of the unreal 2003 demo?
 

One word sums it up. SUCKTACULAR. They call this the new unreal tournament? Sorry i must have something wrong with my eyes and hands because the game looks and plays almost identically to quake 3.

We get the usual assortment of weapons (all of which are in unreal tournament in 1 form or another) and they take out the handy enforcer pistol and give us some shit assualt rifle. Then they add the "super weapons". We get the ion cannon (hello command and conquer rip off anyone) and the redeemer (snore really new weapon eek: ). the ion cannon i havn't seen but the redeemer is basically the same as in the first game only its explosion looks better but the damage iit inflicts seems to have been nerfed heavily.

The in game weapons are nothing short of shit. Epic must have realised "hold on this is just the same fucking game all over again" and proceeded to fuck about with the weapons to make it seem as if effort was actually used in the game.. the once very handy minigun now seems to fire 1 round per rotation of the barrel making it a piss poor piece of shit, even the standard wanky assault rifle now delivers more damage in quicker time than the minigun.

Rocket lancher now takes about 2 hits to kill someone. The plasma rifle has been nerfed heavily and now does diddily shit damage and the shock rifle secondary fire has the speed equivilant of that of an arthritis ridden tortoise making the secondary fire and primrary fire combo completly useless over any given range.


When all is said the game looks visually ok and borrows heavily from the quake 3 look, the characters look bulky and the models are actually undersized when compared to weapons lying aroundon the ground. The overall feel of the game is very quake 3 like as well. From what ive heard the "pro" players are pissed off at this game which was suposed to be the sequel of unreal tournament but plays more like a quake 3 addon.


Yet another dissapointment in a long history of hyped dissapointments.

Meet Gerard aka Game Critiiiiic.

Only j/k. Dont you dare put that "OWN!" picture.

Anyways I never knew the demo was out, where can I get it apart from gayplanet (fileplanet)

Im gonna disagree with u. I think the game is awesome. I never played quake 3 but i love this game. The graphics are the best ive ever seen. I was disappointed they didnt have all new weapons but i can over look that. I think they ruined the mini gun though. In unreal tournament the thing was so much more powerful. And i agree that the assault rifle is not powerful enough. I did more damage with double enforcers. The sounds are good and the gameplay is really fun. I also like the regular sniper better then this lightning gun shit. And dont complain about the redeemer. That is the funniest gun in any game.

I'm going to have to disagree as well. Maybe its because I don't have a a long history of internet gaming, simply because before this computer my other computer sucked ass. Anyway, I did play the first UT and I must admit, the sequil is quite similar. I described it as a UT upgrade. But personally I don't mind that since I did not play much of the first UT nor much Quake. The game is pointless, basically run around at warp speed shooting the shit out of everything and anything, but I suppose it can be fun. I did find the demo fun, but I did get my ass kicked when I went online. Thats OK, I can work on that. But the graphics are amazing. This game runs as smooth as silk on my computer with a GF2. I was amazed. I didn't think the game would run on my system too well, but it is great. For what it provides, I think its a damn good game, maybe even worthy of a purchase. ed: And sorry I don't believe in paragraphs.

I liked it too. The readme file also states the the texturazation of the full release will be double what the demo uses. I think it comes with somethng like 50 maps too. I sure do wish MOH came with 50 maps.

no thanks to EA.

Agh, you guys don't undrstand the point of releasing games like Quake 3 Arena and Unreal Tournament, and that whole point is to sell the game engine. So, expect to have some neat mods released for it, or some clever stand alone products built on the engine; much like MOH.

bombing Run is cool

The only thing i like about this game is the infinit ways u can die. No more clipping issues, i wish mohaa had this type of system in place. I love falling in that pit with pipes, u can just feel it while your character breaks all the bones in his pixel body. biggrin:

Kicked major ass, a must buy when released. Wish they had kept the original sniper rifle, instead of making it electric and wussy. I will deal with it though, since sniping isnt as much of a part of the game as running around blasting the crap out of everything. fire2: Its a good change of pace from realism.

Loved the deaths to... low gravity and getting killed in air, flopping around on the way down to the ground. Sweet. Those bars on bombing run, i jumped in there un-purpose more than once just to watch.

Loved having a level above monster kill... LUDICRIS

yup!!!!!!!!!! biggrin:

i will write my review on this game now and ill keep it one word.


OWNAGE

gameplay suks but graphix is good especially if u turn on projector effect which made my frame rate drop from 25 to 10. but gameplay i must agree isnt that good. all u do is u run around searching for people to kill , no one helps u on the objectives.

way too fast and crazy for me. im a moh player, not a fucking speed popper.

The demo OWNS The bombing run was so fun! (check my sig) The phyisics were amazing also.

haha I love falling down there after scoring 7 POINTS W00T

anyways, when you end up haging on the bar things, its awesome, everything about UT2K3 is awesome

i havent downloaded it yet the lines are always to long at fileplanet and im to lazy to look for it

then u are one lazy. anyways u can get it at www3dgamers.com just browse their action game sextion and look up u and u'll find it.

tons of mirrors for the demo here...you may have to scroll down cuz i think the patch is at the top now

I used filefront.

As for getting hung up on the bars. Turn low gravity on, its one of the mutators included. And watch you body tumble alllll the way down. Its great. Gotta love the karma physics engine.

Yes, that's what I do all the time. I spent at least 30 minutes jumping down there after scoring to take screenshots.
