UT3 yes / no

[CrazyFinn]

So I haven't played UT since the original one and was wondering what is it in the game that makes it so good? To me it looks like Q3 on speed.

The fact that Unreal is like no other does it for me. Tbh i'm sick to death of playing slooooooow MP games. This is a very welcomed change of pace for me since spending the better part of 2 years playing BF games.

Actually, it is nothing like Q3. It is its own game. But yes, get it. If you meant anything by pace, then it is the same pace really.

YES YES YES.

ESPECIALLY, because you haven't played UT2k3/4- it's more like the original UT than anything else.

It's wonderful and you should love it. Buy it now.

It's about the same pace as Q3 if you never learned the more advanced Q3 movement. If you did it's a lot slower. It does have a lot of potential for fun in it though. The biggest problem with it is lack of players online. I struggle to find a low pinging server running the maps I like.

I'm probably going to pass until I find it in the bargain bin. The game play of the demo (no retail mind you) reminds me too much of the bunny jumping RDXer type of play some people seem to like in BF2/BF2142. I didn't like it in the BF2 series and I have no use for it as THE game play method in UT3. I wasn't too fond of being in a fire fight with someone and getting ran over by a Manta from behind or shot from the air when I didn't even hear it coming at all.

All in all, not really the type of game I like. Of course, I can't say that I ever really got into ANY of the Unreal games either. I've played and owned ALL of the Doom/Quake games (not to mention the Castle Wolfenstien games), but as I have gotten older, I have found I prefer a slower, more tactical game and I am less interested in "twitch" games.

It could be that my fast twitch muscles are slowing down as I get older...

The one thing that bugs me about UT3 is that my barley-beverage gets warm cause I'm too busy to drink it.

I am in the maybe column, and until I see a vast increase in online players I will not be joining the ranks.......besides I have TF2 and COD-4 busying my gaming schedule right now!

Agreed, that really sucks. I want to fight not spend half my time trying to avoid getting run over like a pedestrian. I find vehicles no fun at all...

There are good options for non vehicle MP games here at Cains, currently TF2 and MAYBE coming soon COD-4

I hope everybody isn't thinking that way. Or else.
